Operating Instructions

1. One-Key Monitoring

• When a visitor presses the doorbell button, the monitor will ring and display the live video feed.
• To speak to the visitor, press and hold the “OK” key on the monitor.
• Release the “OK” key to listen to the visitor's response. This functions similarly to a walkie-talkie.

Maintenance

1. Battery Charging

The doorbell unit and monitor are powered by rechargeable batteries.

• The doorbell unit uses an 1800mAh Li-ion battery, providing approximately 2 months of working time on a full charge. It takes 3-4 hours to fully recharge.
• The monitor needs to be recharged using a 5V/1A charger (not included) via its TYPE-C charging port. For continuous use, it is recommended to keep the monitor plugged into external power.

2. Waterproofing

The outdoor doorbell unit has an IP65 waterproof rating.

• The doorbell is designed to withstand dust and water splashes, making it suitable for outdoor installation.

3. Cleaning

• Wipe the doorbell camera and monitor surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

• No image on monitor / Monitor screen is black:
  Ensure the monitor is charged or connected to external power. The monitor's built-in battery is primarily for temporary backup; continuous use requires external power. Check if the monitor is powered on.
• Poor signal reception:
  The wireless range can be affected by obstacles like walls. Test the signal strength before final installation. Try relocating the monitor closer to the doorbell unit or minimizing obstructions between them.
• Doorbell not ringing / No connection:
  Ensure both units are charged. Re-attempt the pairing process as described in the 'Setup' section. Check if the doorbell button is functioning correctly.
• Video quality issues (e.g., black and white display, flickering):
  Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. If issues persist, try resetting the monitor using the reset button.
• Monitor not holding a charge:
  The monitor's battery is for temporary use. For consistent operation, keep the monitor connected to a 5V/1A power source.
