Operating Instructions
The Saillong Wired Doorbell Chime Kit offers distinct tones for different entrances and features lighted push buttons for visibility.
- Two Ring Tones: The chime unit provides two distinct ring tones. Typically, the "FRONT" door connection produces a "Ding Dong" sound, while the "REAR" door connection produces a "Ding" sound. This allows for easy identification of the visitor's location.
- Lighted Push Buttons: The doorbell push buttons are equipped with an internal light, providing visibility in low-light conditions and guiding visitors to the button.
