Frontpoint Smart Chime User manual

SMART CHIME
USER GUIDE

Meet your Frontpoint camera’s new best friend. Required for the
Wireless Doorbell Camera to create the ringing tone when someone
is at your door, the Smart Chime also boosts Wi-Fi to help maintain a
steady connection for any connected Frontpoint camera.
In this manual, we guide you through:
1. Connecting the Smart Chime to your Frontpoint account
2. Configuring the Smart Chime’s volume and tone
3. Connecting cameras to your Smart Chime
For help along the way, refer to page 8 to reference what the LEDs
mean and page 10 for Troubleshooting.
Let’s get started!

EXTRA TIPS FOR APP SETUP
• When selecting an outlet near your Wi-Fi router, aim for 5 to 10 unobstructed
feet (or no more than 4 physical steps) away.
*You’ll later be given an opportunity to relocate the device in a final step.
• During the setup, you will be asked to connect your mobile phone’s Wi-Fi to a
network that resembles Chime Config (XX:XX:XX). The X’s are indicative of
the device’s unique MAC address and will vary. Use the password provided on
the sticker or back of the device.
• Once successfully connected to the Chime Config (XX:XX:XX) network,
it will appear like this in your phone, with an indication that internet
connection is not available:
*If you have any trouble with this step, please refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 10.
• A subsequent step within the app asks for you to “Select Network”. This time,
use your home network credentials.
• When firmware updates are available, your Smart Chime will update
automatically but it may take an additional 15 minutes to complete setup. The
progress bar will not move along steadily- each update takes a variable amount
of time.
• If installation fails, press “Retry”- the firmware updates may have caused
the installation process to time-out.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you’re having trouble connecting to the Chime Config (XX:XX:XX) network during
setup, refer to a few common solutions below:
• Your phone may be defaulting back to your home network. Press “Forget This
Network” next to your home network to prevent this from happening.
• If you’re using an iOS phone, you may get a pop-up in which you need to
select “Use without Internet”.
• If you’re using an Android phone, you may get a pop-up telling you the “Chime
Config (XX:XX:XX)” network has no Internet access. Press the drop-down
arrow to select “Yes” or “Use Every time” to stay connected to the network.
