Operating Instructions
1. Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver
The doorbell kit is pre-paired at the factory. If re-pairing is needed or you wish to add more transmitters/receivers:
- Press and hold the 'Next Chime/Pairing Button' on the receiver for 3 seconds until the receiver emits a 'ding' sound and the RGB light flashes. This indicates it is in pairing mode.
- Immediately press the transmitter button. The receiver will ring and the RGB light will flash, confirming successful pairing.
- To pair multiple transmitters or receivers, repeat the process for each unit.
2. Chime Selection
The doorbell offers 60 different melodies.
- Press the 'Next Chime/Pairing Button' to cycle through the available melodies.
- Press the 'Previous Chime/Mode Button' to go back to the previous melody.
- Once you find a desired melody, it will be saved automatically.
3. Volume Adjustment
There are 5 adjustable volume levels, ranging from 0dB (silent) to 100dB.
- Press the 'Volume Button' repeatedly to cycle through the volume levels.
- Select 0dB for silent mode, where only the RGB light will activate.

4. RGB Light Indicator
The RGB light on the receiver flashes when the transmitter is activated and a signal is received. This feature is particularly useful for individuals who are hearing impaired or in noisy environments.
5. Memory Function
The doorbell kit features a memory function that retains your last selected melody and volume setting, even after a power outage or battery replacement.
Maintenance
1. Battery Replacement
When the receiver's sound becomes weak or the RGB light dims, it's time to replace the 3 AA batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in the Setup section.
The transmitter's battery is designed for long-term use. If the transmitter stops working, it may require battery replacement. Refer to the screw mounting instructions to open the casing and replace the internal battery (CR2032 type, typically).

3. Waterproof Transmitter
The transmitter is IP66 waterproof and dustproof, designed to withstand various weather conditions from -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C). Ensure the casing is properly sealed after any maintenance to maintain its waterproof integrity.
