Chime doesn't sound:
• Make sure the doorbell button and the chime channels
are the same (See page 3).
• Check orientation of doorbell button battery.
• Check the doorbell button and chime batteries, replace
if necessary.
Batteries are OK, but the chime doesn't work:
• Don't mount the chime or doorbell button on metal or near
metal studs. This reduces the transmitter range. Use 1/4"
to 1/2" wood shims to move the chime or doorbell button off
the metal surface.
• Don't mount the chime too close to ground level concrete
slabs. This may also reduce the range. Mount the chime
away from the floor.
• Try different locations for the chime closer to the doorbell
button. Also try to orient the chime at a different angle to
increase the range.
The range of the doorbell depends on location, tempera-
ture and battery condition.
