Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
Features
The mydlink™ Wi-Fi Siren is a wireless siren that helps keep your home safe. You can set an alarm via the mydlink™ Home app so
when you’re away, the mydlink Wi-Fi siren will be enabled and ready to receive signals from a trigger such as the mydlink Wi-Fi
Motion Sensor (DCH-S150). When the siren is triggered, it will generate a 100 dB (max) audio alarm for deterrence while pushing
instant notications to your mobile device-so you can stay updated from anywhere.
Works With Other D-Link Connected Home Devices
The mydlink™ Wi-Fi Siren can be triggered by other D-Link Connected Home devices such as a water sensor, door sensor, and
smoke detector, so you can customize your own home automation system to suit your purposes.
mydlink™ Home
Manage your siren and connected appliances by using the mydlink™ Home app available for iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod touch®
and Android™ devices. Its intuitive user interface and simple instructions let you easily manage your automated devices from
wherever you are.
Simple Setup
Through its easy-to-use mydlink™ Home app, you can quickly and easily connect the DCH-S220 to an existing network. The app’s
setup wizard will even guide you through the setup process, so you can get your home automation devices up and running in
no time.
Customize Your Audio Notication
The DCH-S220 comes with six dierent alarm sounds so you can immediately distinguish the type of event that has triggered
your siren. Save precious seconds so you can immediately call for help during any emergency.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Factors
The Wi-Fi Siren connects to your home automation network using your existing wireless network. Keep in mind that the number,
thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through may limit the Wi-Fi range.
Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.
The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between your wireless router and the Siren to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can
reduce your device’s range by up to 98 feet (30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. At a 45-degree angle, a wall that is 0.5 meters thick (1.5 feet appears to
be almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick. At a 2-degree angle it can appear over 14 meters (45 feet) thick! Position devices so that the
signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range.Try to position
access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects
such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (i.e., sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete can degrade
your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones, your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure
your 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in
not in use.
6. If you are using X-10 wireless products, such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems, your wireless connection may
degrade dramatically.

Troubleshooting
How do I reset the DCH-S220?
When you reset your DCH-S220, it will change your settings back to the factory default settings. To reset the device, locate the Reset button on the side
of the device. With the device plugged in, press and hold the Reset button for about 5 seconds until the Power LED turns red. Please refer to page 5 for
the location of the reset button.
Why can’t I connect the DCH-S220 to my wireless router?
If you are having trouble connecting to your wireless router, try plugging the DCH-S220 into an electrical outlet that is closer to your router. After the
Power LED turns solid green, you can unplug the mydlink™ Wi-Fi Siren and move it to the desired location.
Where can I nd the mydlink™ Home app?
You may download the free mydlink™ Home app from the App Store (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) or Google Play (Android). Search for the mydlink™
Home app by typing in “mydlink Home”.
How does the mydlink™ Wi-Fi Siren work while I am away from home?
Remote access of the mydlink™ Wi-Fi Siren is enabled once you have registered and linked your DCH-S220 through the mydlink services. When your
DCH-S220 is enabled for remote access, you will be able to control it from anywhere using your iOS or Android device.*
Why am I not receiving smartphone notications after my sensor or siren is triggered?
First, verify that your smartphone’s notication settings are enabled. If you have an iOS device, go to Settings > Notications > mydlink Home and
make sure the notication slider is enabled. For Android, the procedure may dier so you may need to look up the specic procedure on how to enable
notications.
For some users, the notications may be delayed temporarily because it takes some time to optimize the notication system. In this case, we recommend
restarting the app and trying again after 10-30 minutes.
* The DCH-S220 must be connected to your home Wi-Fi network for remote access.
