Maintenance

1. Transmitter Battery Replacement

The transmitter uses a CR2032 lithium battery with an approximate 3-year lifespan. When the transmitter's LED indicator no longer flashes or the signal weakens, it's time to replace the battery.

  1. Carefully open the transmitter casing using the provided screwdriver or a small flat-head screwdriver.
  2. Remove the old CR2032 battery.
  3. Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
  4. Close the transmitter casing securely.

2. Cleaning

Wipe the doorbell units with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish and internal components.

Troubleshooting

  • No Sound from Receiver:
    • Ensure the receiver is properly plugged into a working power outlet.
    • Check if the volume is set to mute (0 dB). Adjust the volume level.
    • Re-pair the transmitter and receiver as described in the 'Setup' section.
  • Transmitter Not Working:
    • Replace the CR2032 battery in the transmitter.
    • Ensure the transmitter is within the wireless range of the receiver (up to 1300 ft in open areas).
    • Avoid placing the transmitter near large metal objects, as metal can interfere with the wireless signal.
  • Short Wireless Range:
    • Metal structures, thick walls, and other electronic devices can reduce the wireless range. Try relocating the receiver or transmitter.
    • Ensure the transmitter battery is not low.
