8. Important Notes Before First Time Use
- Do not use rechargeable batteries; do not mix old and new batteries or different types. Alkaline batteries are recommended in the receiver for a longer operating life.
- The operation and range of your wireless door chime depends on location, temperature, and battery condition.
- Do not expose the chime unit to rain or immerse either unit in water.
- Avoid locations where the Bell Press Transmitter is exposed to direct summer sunlight.
- Do not leave exhausted batteries in Door Chime Receiver or Bell Press Transmitter.
- Clean only with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use solvents.
9. Maintenance
- Keep the Door Chime dry. If the Door Chime gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.
- Use and store the Door Chime only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
- Handle the Door Chime gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the circuit boards and can cause the Door Chime to work improperly.
- Keep the Door Chime away from dust or dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
- Wipe the Door Chime with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the chime.
- Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type. Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic circuits.
- Modifying or tampering with the Door Chime's internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty.
10. Warning
Important Safety Information:
- Dispose of used button/coin batteries immediately by placing sticky tape around both sides of the battery and dispose of it immediately in an outside bin, out of reach of children, or recycle safely.
- If you suspect a child has swallowed or inserted a button battery, call the 24 Hour Poisons Information Centre on 131126 for expert advice.
⚠️ WARNING

3. Before Installation

4. Installation
Door Chime Receiver
- Depress tab on Door Chime Receiver to remove back cover plate.
- Insert 2 x 'AA' batteries ensuring that the coil springs contact the negative (-) end of each battery.
The Door Chime Receiver is portable and can be placed anywhere in your house or you can carry it with you using the belt clip at the back of the chime unit. It can also be fixed to a wall temporarily using the mounting screws and wall plugs provided.
The Door Chime Receiver has one slotted hang hole on the back. This hole will enable the Door Chime Receiver to be hooked onto a screw and easily removed or relocated to another room.
Bell Press Transmitter
- If using for the first time, pull out the plastic film to activate the battery.
- Press the Push Button to ensure that the Red LED indicator lamp lights, indicating that the battery is in working order.
- With the help of a screwdriver, depress the clip before pulling the cover out (refer to Figure 2 description). Fix the unit to your front door or a position close by using the double-sided tape or mounting screws provided. If using screws provided, you will need to remove the back cover and fix it to the wall, then reattach the bell press to the back cover.
Note: Try different locations in your home before fixing your products in place. Both units should be more than 1 metre from the floor. Move Door Chime Receiver closer to Bell Press Transmitter to improve operation.
Warning: Wall plugs and fixing screws are provided with this kit, but may not be suitable for all installations. Ensure you use a method of fixing appropriate to your mounting surface.

7. Troubleshooting
PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SUGGESTED SOLUTION |
---|---|---|
Your Door Chime has stopped sounding | Your Door Chime Receiver batteries may be flat. If the red indicator light on the Bell Press Transmitter is no longer illuminated then your transmitter battery is flat. | Replace the batteries in your Door Chime Receiver with 2 x AA batteries. Replace your Bell Press Transmitter battery (1 x A23 12V). |
If you have checked your batteries and your Door Chime is still not operating | Units are out of range (max. range to 50 metres). Wrong polarity of battery in either unit.

Your Bell Press may be located too close to a metal structure or too close to the ground. | Operate the chime unit with the right range. Re-insert battery with polarity to match markings. Relocate the Door Chime Receiver closer to the Bell Press. Relocate your Bell Press away from the metal structure or further away from the ground. |
