Follow these steps to set up your SURFOU wireless doorbell system:
- Install Transmitter Battery: Open the transmitter casing using the provided screwdriver and insert the 12V 23A battery, ensuring correct polarity. Close the casing securely.
- Mount the Transmitter: Choose a suitable location for the outdoor transmitter, such as near your front door. You can mount it using either the provided double-sided adhesive tape for a quick setup or screws for a more permanent fixture. Ensure the location is within the 300m range of your receivers.
- Plug in Receivers: Plug the receivers into standard electrical outlets in desired locations within your home. For optimal coverage, place them strategically, considering the 300m wireless range.
- Pairing (if necessary): The units are usually pre-paired. If not, or if you wish to re-pair or add more transmitters/receivers, press and hold the volume button on the receiver for 5 seconds until it emits a 'ding' sound and the LED flashes. Then, press the transmitter button. The receiver will chime, indicating successful pairing.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your doorbell system:
- Battery Replacement: The transmitter battery typically lasts 1 to 3 years. When the LED indicator on the transmitter no longer lights up or the range decreases significantly, it's time to replace the 12V 23A battery.
- Cleaning: Wipe the transmitter and receivers with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Weather Resistance: The outdoor transmitter is designed to be dustproof and waterproof (IP44 rated), withstanding temperatures from -30°C to 70°C. However, avoid submerging it in water or exposing it to extreme conditions unnecessarily.
