4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to set up your DAYTECH Doorbell Sensor system:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Receiver Placement: Plug the receiver into a standard AC electrical outlet in a central location within your desired monitoring area. Ensure it is within the effective range of the sensors.
- Sensor Installation:
- Identify the main sensor unit and the smaller magnetic strip.
- Ensure the ON/OFF switch on the side of the main sensor unit is set to the "ON" position.
- Attach the main sensor unit to the fixed part of the door or window frame.
- Attach the magnetic strip to the moving part of the door or window (e.g., the door itself).
- Ensure that when the door/window is closed, the main sensor unit and the magnetic strip are aligned and within 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) of each other. When the door/window opens, the separation of these two parts triggers the alert.
- Use the provided double-sided adhesive tape or screws for secure mounting. Clean the surface thoroughly before applying adhesive.
- Pairing (if needed): The units typically come pre-paired from the factory. If they do not respond, refer to the "Operating Instructions" section for pairing procedures.

5. Operating Instructions
Learn how to customize and use your doorbell sensor system:
- Volume Adjustment: Locate the volume control button on the side of the receiver. Press this button repeatedly to cycle through the 5 available volume levels, from silent (0dB) to maximum (110dB).
- Melody Selection: Use the forward and backward buttons on the side of the receiver to browse and select your preferred melody from the 13 available options. The receiver will remember your last chosen melody.
- Call Duration Modes: The receiver offers three distinct call duration modes: 8 seconds, 16 seconds, and 12 minutes. Slide the "Call Duration" switch (often located on the side or back of the receiver) to select the desired mode.
- Stopping the Chime: If you are in the 16-second or 12-minute call duration mode, you can press any button on the receiver to stop the chime prematurely. Please note that the 8-second mode does not support premature stopping.

6. Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your device:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surfaces of the receiver and sensors. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals, as these can damage the product's finish or internal components.
- Battery Replacement: The magnetic sensors are powered by Lithium Ion batteries. If you notice the sensor's LED indicator dimming, or if the detection range decreases, it may be time to replace the battery. The sensor battery life is approximately 60,000 detections. Refer to the sensor unit for specific battery type and replacement instructions.
- Environmental Conditions: To prevent damage, avoid exposing the units to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, high humidity, or excessive moisture. The sensors are designed for indoor use unless otherwise specified.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DAYTECH Doorbell Sensor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- No Sound or No Alert from Receiver:
- Ensure the receiver is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Verify that the magnetic sensor's ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position.
- Check if the magnetic sensor and its magnetic strip are correctly aligned and within 1.5 cm when the door/window is closed.
- Replace the battery in the magnetic sensor if it is low or depleted.
- Ensure the receiver and sensor are within the effective operating range. Walls, large metal objects, and other electronic devices can reduce the range.
- If the units have lost connection, they may need to be re-paired. Consult the manufacturer's website or support for specific pairing instructions if not provided in this manual.
- Chime is Too Loud or Too Quiet:
- Adjust the volume using the volume control button on the side of the receiver.
- False Alarms:
- Ensure the magnetic sensor and its strip are securely mounted and do not shift or separate unintentionally when the door/window is closed.
- Check for strong magnetic fields or significant electronic interference near the sensor, which could cause false triggers.
