Troubleshooting
If | Then |
---|---|
The doorbell does not work | 1. Press the Mute button (?) until all of the Mute lights are off. 2. Ensure the correct batteries are installed in both the push and doorbell with the correct polarity. 3. The doorbell might be out of range; try the doorbell in a different location. 4. Reconnect the doorbell. See "Connect a Push Button" on page 7. 5. Check all the batteries and replace if needed. 6. Check if the confidence LED on the transmitters is working when activated. 7. Check if the doorbell is muted. 8. Check that the transmitter is linked with the chime.* |
Two 'beep' sounds are heard after the normal tune | Replace push button battery with a new CR2032. |
Range is reduced | 1. Metal structures including uPVC door frames can reduce the range. Don't mount the doorbell or push button on or near metal structures. 2. Move the doorbell closer to the push button. 3. Weak batteries will reduce range. In cold conditions (below 5°C), the batteries may need to be replaced more often. |
*Under these scenarios the push button is considered the "transmitter". Other examples of transmitters are the wireless motion (PIR) sensor or wireless door window sensor.
