4. Setup and Installation
The TECKNET wireless doorbell offers two installation methods for the transmitter: adhesive mounting or screw mounting.
4.1. Receiver Setup
- Insert Batteries (if applicable): The receiver requires three AA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the receiver and insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Note: Some receivers are plug-in models and do not require batteries. Refer to your specific model.
- Plug In (for plug-in models): If your receiver is a plug-in model, simply plug it into a standard electrical outlet in your desired location. Ensure it is within the wireless range of the transmitter.
4.2. Transmitter Installation
Before installation, ensure the CR2032 battery is correctly installed in the transmitter. It is usually pre-installed.

- Peel off one side of the double-sided adhesive tape and apply it firmly to the back of the transmitter.
- Peel off the other side of the adhesive tape and press the transmitter firmly onto the cleaned surface for at least 30 seconds.
Method 2: Screw Mounting
- Open the back cover of the transmitter to access the screw holes.
- Mark the positions for drilling on the wall using the screw holes as a template.
- Drill two holes at the marked positions. Insert the wall plugs into the drilled holes.
- Align the transmitter's back cover with the holes and secure it with the provided screws.
- Attach the front part of the transmitter onto the secured back cover.
Important: Ensure the transmitter is installed in a location where it is easily accessible for visitors and within the wireless range of the receiver.
5. Operation
5.1. Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver
The transmitter and receiver are usually pre-paired at the factory. If they are not paired or if you add a new component, follow these steps:
- Plug in the receiver to a power outlet.
- Press and hold the Volume/Pairing button on the receiver for approximately 3 seconds until you hear a "ding-dong" sound and the RGB light flashes. This indicates the receiver is in pairing mode.
- Within 5 seconds, press the transmitter button once. The receiver will chime, indicating successful pairing.
- Test the doorbell by pressing the transmitter button. The receiver should chime with the selected melody and the RGB lights should flash.
5.2. Adjusting Volume and Melody

- Volume Adjustment: Press the Volume button (usually marked with a speaker icon) on the receiver repeatedly to cycle through the 5 available volume levels (0 dB to 110 dB).
- Melody Selection: Press the Up/Down melody buttons (usually marked with arrow icons) on the receiver to browse through the 60 available melodies. Once you hear a melody you like, stop pressing the button, and it will be set.
5.3. Changing Notification Mode (RGB Lights)

The receiver offers different notification modes:
- Sound & RGB: The doorbell will chime and the RGB lights will flash. (Default mode)
- Sound Only: The doorbell will chime without RGB light flashing.
- RGB Only (Silent Mode): The doorbell will only flash its RGB lights without making a sound. This is ideal for quiet environments or for users with hearing difficulties.
To change the mode, press and hold the Melody Down button for approximately three seconds. The mode will cycle through Sound & RGB, Sound Only, and RGB Only. Release the button when your desired mode is active.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surfaces of the transmitter and receiver. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement (Transmitter): The transmitter uses a CR2032 lithium battery. When the doorbell button's LED indicator no longer lights up or the range decreases significantly, it's time to replace the battery. Carefully open the transmitter casing, replace the old battery with a new CR2032 battery, ensuring correct polarity, and reassemble.
- Battery Replacement (Receiver - if applicable): If your receiver uses AA batteries, replace them when the sound becomes weak or the unit stops functioning.
- Environmental Conditions: While the transmitter is IP66 waterproof, avoid submerging it in water. Ensure the receiver is kept in a dry indoor environment.
