Quick Start.
Getting your Doorbell up and running is as simple as plugging it into a wall socket and linking it to your existing Z-
Wave network. The following instructions tell you how to link your Doorbell to your Z-Wave network via using Aeotec
by Aeon Labs’ Z-Stick or Minimote controllers. If you are using other products as your main Z-Wave controller, such as
a Z-Wave gateway, please refer to the part of their respective manual that tells you how add new devices to your
network.

b. Lock the Doorbell 6 into place where the mount is installed.

Advanced.
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 in order 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 6x 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 which indicates
that it is ready to be paired again.
Test Doorbell 6 sound manually.

You will be able to manually test your Doorbell 6 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
