INSTALLATION
1. Open the chime button case by in-
serting a flat blade screwdriver into
the notch on the bottom and push to
open. Lift the front of the button up
and away from the back.
2. Insert the A23 battery into the but-
ton. The + side of the battery goes
up.
3. Insert “C” batteries into chime re-
ceiver. On Model RC520, pull white
face of chime off to insert batteries.
Test operation by pressing button.
If chime doesn’t operate, see trouble-
shooting section.
Before mounting the button outside,
hold it where you wish it to be and test
the operation. If it works, mount it there.
If it doesn’t work, see the troubleshoot-
ing section. If mounting to a metallic or
concrete surface, use a 1/8” to 1/4”
wood spacer between the back of the
button and the surface to increase the
range.
Wireless chime range can vary from 20
to 125 feet depending on the construc-
tion of your home. Wood or vinyl siding
are ideal. Steel, aluminum, brick or
stucco decrease the range.

FREQUENCY
CODES
If you are adding a second chime re-
ceiver to another area of your home,
you’ll want to make sure the frequency
codes on the additional receivers are
set the same. That way, they’ll all ring
when a button 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 fre-
quency code of your chime.

Some models use a DIP switch instead
of jumpers, setting the switch to “ON” is

ADDITIONAL
DOOR CHIMES
When installing other wireless Door
Chime sets, remember to set 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.
• Replace the button battery. Also check
chime batteries. On plug-in models,
make sure there is electricity to the
outlet the chime is plugged into.
Batteries are OK, but chime does not
work when installed:
• Mounting the chime or button directly
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 also reduce the range. Mount the
chime away from the floor.
• Try different locations for the chime
closer to the button. 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.
