Code/Push Button Limiting Switch
Your Chime Unit is capable of working with a maximum of 4 Bell
Push Button units, each with its own frequency. If your Chime
Unit activates intermittently for no apparent reason, it might be
caused by a nearby device working on a similar frequency channel.
To eliminate frequency channel interruption, use the Code/Push
Button Limiting Switch (Fig. 3) to limit the Bell Push Button unit
and/or frequency channel that your Chime Unit can be activated by.
1. Connect the Chime Unit to the mains power and press
the Bell Push Button once. The Chime Unit will sound
to indicate that the 1st operating code is registered and
memorised. This is the factory setting and intended to limit
the active frequency channel and Bell Push Button unit to 1.
2. To register a 2nd Bell Push Button, press and hold the
Code Limiting Switch on the Chime Unit for 1 second, a ‘beep’ will sound
to indicate that it is ready to learn the 2nd operating code. Press the 2nd
Bell Push Button once, the Chime Unit will sound to indicate that the 2nd
operating code is registered and memorised. This will allow 2 different Bell
Push Button units and/or frequency channels to work with the Chime Unit at
the same time.
3. Repeat Step 2 to add a 3rd and 4th Bell Push Button.
4. To reset, disconnect the Chime Unit from mains power for at least 1 minute
then reconnect. This will reset the Chime Unit to learn 1 Push Button
and/or frequency channel only.
Note: Power outage, surge or unstable main power will also reset the
Code/Push Button Limiting function.
Resetting the Unit
To avoid uncontrolled activation:
1. Switch off the Chime Unit for at least 1 minute.
2. Switch back on. A double beep should be heard indicating that the unit is in
learning mode.
3. Press the Push Button. The chime should sound to indicate code selection.
Important Notes
1. The operation and range of your Wireless Door Chime depends on location,
temperature and battery condition.
2. Try different locations in your home, ideally more than 1 metre from the floor.
Move Chime unit closer to Push Button unit to improve operation.
3. Do not expose either unit to rain or immerse in water.
4. Avoid locations where the Push Button unit is exposed to direct summer
sunlight.
5. Do not leave exhausted batteries in Push Button unit.

The Push Button unit has two mounting holes on rear plate of unit that must be
pushed through before unit can be mounted.
1. Remove rear plate of unit (see battery installation).
2. Push through tabs in mounting holes.
3. Using the back plate of the Push Button unit as a guide, mark the position of
holes onto mounting surface.
4. Drill appropriately sized holes and insert wall plugs if required.
5. Secure the back plate of Push Button unit to mounting unit.
6. Clip Push Button unit to back plate.

door, metal furniture or in close proximity to any radio emitting equipment. The
range of the unit may be substantially reduced.
Door Chime Operation
Once the Push Button and Chime units have been installed in their desired
locations, the system is ready for use.
Depress button on Push Button unit momentarily, and chime should sound.
Press button again to repeat. Continual pressing of the button will not repeat
the chime.
If chime fails to sound, check batteries in push button and check power is on to
Chime Unit.
Tone Selection
The Wireless Door Chime is supplied with 8 built-in chimes.
Westminster Chime Twinkle Twinkle
Double Ding-Dong It’s a Small World
Circus Theme Dog Barking
Banjo on My Knee Telephone Ring
To change the chime tune, remove the Push Button Unit’s rear
cover.
Inside the Push Button Unit locate the small Tune Selector push
button marked ‘S’ (Ref. Fig 2). Each time that this Tune Selector
push button is pressed, the next of the 8 melodies will be played.
You can step through and listen to each in turn. When you hear
the melody you wish to choose, do not press the tune selector
again. The chime will play the selected melody each time the
bell press is pushed. At any time you can select another melody
by repeating the tune selector button process.
Refit the Push Button Unit rear cover.
Whenever the Push Button Unit battery is fitted or replaced, the
chime tune may default to the Westminster Chime.
Code Selection
The push button unit generates random code sequences to which the chime
unit is able to learn. Should your door chime unit activate intermittently for no
apparent reason, the uncontrolled activation may be caused by another unit
nearby or from a device operating on the same frequency.
