Advanced Operations

Removing your Doorbell from a Z-Wave network

Your Doorbell can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. It is always advised that you use your gateway to perform an unpair to avoid leaving phantom / failed nodes that become difficult to remove. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Place your gateway or controller into Z-Wave unpair or exclusion mode. (Please refer to your controller/gateway manual on how to do this).
2. Press the Action Button 6 times in 2 seconds on your Doorbell.
3. If your Doorbell has been successfully unpaired from your network, its LED will begin to blink slowly, indicating it is ready to be paired again.

Test Doorbell 6 sound manually

You can manually test your Doorbell 6, whether unpaired or paired to a Z-Wave network, to determine if its sound is working. Perform the button action listed below:

• Press and hold Action Button down for 2-5 seconds.

Safety: Test only when wearing necessary ear protection. Doorbell 6's speaker emits tones up to 105dB that can cause hearing damage. ?

Reset your Doorbell

This method is not fully advised unless your gateway has failed, and you do not yet have another gateway to perform a general unpair on Doorbell 6.

To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Press and hold the Action button for 20 seconds.
2. [2-5 seconds]: The test Doorbell sound will run, then stop after 5 seconds has passed.
3. [5-20 seconds]: The LED will continue to blink faster (5 to 10 seconds) and faster (10 to 20 seconds).
4. [21 seconds and later]: The LED will then quickly flash 3 times, then will have LED breath in and out as you hold down the Action Button.
5. Release the Action button, and the Doorbell 6 will factory reset.

Low battery indicator for Button #1 - #3

Doorbell 6 has 3 low battery indicators for 3 possible button slots. This will indicate if the battery is low on any connected button to Doorbell 6.

• Button 1: LED blinks once (100ms), then no LED for 5 seconds. Repeats continuously until battery replacement.
• Button 2: LED blinks twice (100ms), then no LED for 5 seconds. Repeats continuously until battery replacement.
• Button 3: LED blinks thrice (100ms), then no LED for 5 seconds. Repeats continuously until battery replacement.

To resolve the LED from blinking, you must replace the battery of your Button that is connected to Doorbell 6:

1. Remove the battery of Button (based on the LED indicator above).
2. Wait 10-20 seconds, allow the button to power cycle.
3. Replace with a new battery ?.
4. Tap the button once to update the battery level on Siren 6 / Doorbell 6.
