A ‘beep’ sound is heard in learn mode…
¬●The push you are programming has already been learnt by the chime.
¬●If you want to change the icon associated with the push, use the un-learn procedure, then
programme the push again.
Two ‘beep’ sounds are heard after the normal chime sound…
¬●This indicates a low battery in the bell push that activated the chime. Fit a new battery, type CR2032.
When the bell push is operated, the amber confidence light does not turn on, or is only
on for a short time…
¬●In normal operation, the amber light will turn on for 1 second. When the battery is weak,
the light will only turn on for a short time. Fit a new battery, type CR2032.
