3.2. Button Installation
- Choose a suitable location for the touch button, typically near the door your pet uses to go outside. Ensure it is at a height easily accessible by your pet's paw or nose.
- Clean the surface where the button will be attached to ensure proper adhesion.
- Peel off the protective backing from one side of a reusable Velcro adhesive pad and firmly press it onto the back of the touch button.
- Peel off the protective backing from the other side of the Velcro pad and press the button firmly onto the chosen surface (e.g., door frame, wall). The reusable Velcro allows for repositioning without damaging surfaces.

3.3. Pairing the Button and Receiver
The button and receiver are typically pre-paired. If re-pairing is needed or if you add additional buttons/receivers, follow these steps:
- Plug in the receiver.
- Press and hold the volume button on the receiver until the LED indicator lights up (approximately 3-5 seconds). This puts the receiver into pairing mode.
- Within 5 seconds, press the touch button. The receiver will chime, indicating successful pairing.
- Test the connection by pressing the touch button. The receiver should chime.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Adjusting Volume
The receiver offers 5 adjustable volume levels, ranging from 0 to 110 decibels. To adjust the volume, repeatedly press the Volume button on the side of the receiver until your desired level is reached.
4.2. Changing Ringtones
The receiver features 52 different ringtone options. To change the ringtone, repeatedly press the Music button on the side of the receiver to cycle through the available tunes. The selected tune will play immediately.
4.3. Pet Training
Training your pet to use the doorbell requires patience and positive reinforcement. Here are some general steps:
- Introduce the Button: Place the button near the door. When your pet needs to go outside, gently guide their paw or nose to touch the button.
- Immediate Reward: As soon as your pet touches the button and the doorbell chimes, immediately open the door and take them outside. Praise them enthusiastically and offer a small treat.
- Consistency is Key: Repeat this process every time your pet needs to go out. Over time, they will associate touching the button with going outside.
- Gradual Independence: Once your pet consistently rings the bell, you can gradually reduce the amount of guidance you provide.
