Avoid using fast charging, as it may affect battery life. The monitor screen has a 400mAh battery, primarily for temporary power outages; for long-term use, it is recommended to connect the monitor to a power source via its USB port.

3.2 Pairing the Doorbell with the Display Screen

The doorbell and display screen communicate via 2.4G Bluetooth. It is crucial to pair the devices before final installation to ensure optimal signal strength.

1. Turn on the indoor display screen. Press and hold the "M" key. The display will show "Pairing.....30", indicating it has entered pairing mode.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the doorbell button on the outdoor unit. The working indicator light on the doorbell will flash.
3. When the indoor display shows "Pairing... ✔", the pairing process is successful.

3.3 Doorbell Unit Installation

The doorbell unit can be installed using the provided 3M adhesive tape or screws.

• For Wooden or Glass Doors: Clean the installation area thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Attach the doorbell using the 3M adhesive.
• For Metal Doors: It is recommended to install the doorbell on the upper part of the door handle, approximately 1.5-1.6 meters (59-63 inches) from the ground. Adjust the position as needed for optimal viewing.

3.4 Monitor Screen Placement

The monitor screen can be placed in any convenient indoor location such as the living room, kitchen, or entrance area. Ensure it is near a power source for continuous operation. The monitor operates on 5V power and can be powered using a phone charger or a USB port.

4. Operation

4.1 Two-Way Intercom

When a visitor presses the doorbell, the monitor screen will instantly display the live video feed. To communicate:

1. Press the call button on the monitor screen to activate the intercom.
2. To speak, press and hold the call button. Release to transmit your voice. This functions similarly to a traditional walkie-talkie.
3. To end the intercom conversation and return to standby mode, press the call button again.

Note: The indoor screen cannot wake up the outdoor doorbell camera. The intercom function is transmitted via wireless signals; the closer the doorbell and display screen, the stronger the signal. It is recommended to use the intercom only when the distance between the doorbell and the display is more than 3 meters to avoid interference.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

Regularly wipe the camera lens and doorbell unit with a soft, dry cloth to ensure clear image quality and proper function. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

6.2 Battery Care

To prolong battery life, avoid exposing the devices to extreme temperatures. For the doorbell, use a standard 5V charger and avoid fast charging. For the monitor, keep it connected to a power source for long-term use.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Display When Doorbell Rings: Ensure the monitor screen is powered on and within range. Check battery levels of both units.
• Weak Signal/Interference: Walls, windows, and metal objects can weaken the wireless signal. Try to install the equipment in an area with a strong signal. Re-pair the doorbell and monitor in the desired installation area to test signal strength before final mounting.
• Echo During Intercom: If the display screen is too close to the doorbell, it may generate echo. Move the display screen further away or lower the volume to reduce noise.
• Monitor Screen Not Waking Up: The display screen does not wake up automatically when someone rings the doorbell. It will only activate when the doorbell button is pressed. If there is no operation for 30 seconds, the display screen will automatically turn off. Long press the call button for 3 seconds to wake up the display screen.
• Short Battery Life: Ensure both units are fully charged. For the monitor, connect it to an external power source for prolonged use. Avoid fast chargers for the doorbell.
• No Video Recording: Ensure a TF card (8GB-32GB) is inserted correctly into the monitor screen. The system only records video with a TF card; otherwise, it captures photos.
