CAUTION!
You may be subjected to severe electrical shock if you disassemble the Smart Doorbell.
The working temperature of the device is from -4 °F to 122 °F.
The Doorbell works using [AC 12 ~ 24V] supply. Do not connect the device directly to AC mains while
wiring the device, otherwise this may cause electric shock and permanent damage to the device.
For the Doorbell setup, plug in the device ONLY using the included USB 5V power adapter (Amperage

Weak Wi-Fi connections will reduce the quality of the video streaming.
Turn off power to the area where you will install the doorbell at the circuit breaker or fuse box before
beginning installation. Failure to turn off the power before installation may result in serious electrical
shock, injury or death.
Do not restore power until the Doorbell has been completely installed. Restoring power before
installation is complete may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death. If you need to replace your
transformer, we recommend that you use a licensed professional.
All electronic operation should be in strict compliance with the electrical safety regulations, re
prevention regulations and other related regulations in your local region.
