FREQUENCY
CODES
If you are adding a second chime re-
ceiver to another area of the same resi-
dence, make sure the frequency codes
on the additional receivers are set the
same, so they will all ring when a but-
ton is pushed.
The first six pins on the chime and but-
ton change the frequency code. Re-
move the exact same one or two pins
from the chime and button. After mak-
ing your changes make sure the jump-
ers on the first 6 pins match on both the
chime and button.
If your chime goes off by itself, it may
be experiencing interference from a
neighbor’s wireless chime. You can
stop this from happening by changing
the frequency code of your chime.
ADDITIONAL
DOOR CHIMES
When installing other wireless Door
Chimesets,remembertoset frequency
codes to different settings to avoid in-
terference. If you want them to all ring
at the same time, set them to the same
frequency code.

WARRANTY
The range of the door chime depends
on location, temperature and battery
condition. If you are having problems
with this product, please try the solu-
tions listed below.
Chime rings on its own:
• A neighbor may have a wireless
chime set with the same frequency
jumper settings. Change the chime
and button frequency jumpers.
Chime doesn't sound:
• Make sure the button and the chime
jumpers are set the same.
• Replacethe buttonbattery.Alsocheck
chime batteries.
Batteries are OK, but chime does not
work when installed:
• Mountingthechimeorbuttondirectly
on metal, concrete or near metal
studs reduces the range. Use 1/4" to
1/2" wood shims to move the chime
or doorbell button off of the surface.
• Do not mount the chime too close to
ground level concrete slabs, which
may reduce the range. Mount the
chime away from the floor.
• Try different locations for the chime
closertothebutton.Also, try to orient
the chime at a different angle to in-
crease the range. Range is most ef-
fective to the sides of the button.
