5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Chatthen Personal Wireless Alarm System, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Problem: The receiver does not sound an alarm when the call button is pressed.
  Solution:
  • Check if the receiver is properly powered on and connected to a USB power source.
  • Ensure the call button has a fresh CR2032 battery installed correctly.
  • Verify that the call button and receiver are within the maximum operating range of 70 meters (230 feet). Walls and other obstructions can reduce this range.
  • Re-pair the call button with the receiver through the app if necessary.
• Problem: No notifications are received on the mobile app.
  Solution:
  • Ensure the receiver is connected to your home's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Check the Wi-Fi indicator on the receiver.
  • Verify that your mobile phone has an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data).
  • Check the notification settings for the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app on your phone to ensure notifications are enabled.
  • Confirm that the receiver is correctly linked to your account in the app.
• Problem: The signal range seems shorter than expected.
  Solution:
  • The maximum range of 70 meters (230 feet) is for open areas. Obstacles like thick walls, metal structures, and other electronic devices can significantly reduce the effective range.
  • Ensure the call button battery is not low.
  • Relocate the receiver to a more central position or closer to the areas where call buttons are used.
• Problem: The receiver is not powering on.
  Solution:
  • Check the USB cable connection to both the receiver and the power adapter/port.
  • Try a different USB cable or power adapter to rule out a faulty accessory.
  • Ensure the power outlet or USB port is functional.
