HomeAware HA360DB Doorbell Transmitter
Install Batteries
The Home Aware TM doorbell transmitter comes with two #357 silver oxide
long lasting batteries that need to be installed into the bottom of the unit.
Once installed the red light should light when the button is pushed. If the
light does not show, you may have the batteries in backwards.
Linking Doorbell Transmitter to Main Unit
This procedure will link your doorbell transmitter to your Home Aware TM Main
unit. The Main unit will also provide an alert to all HomeAware TM remote
receivers. When using the Sonic Alert Bridge unit all original Sonic Alert
receivers (SA101, SA201, BL300, and SB1000) will also alert you. It is best to
do the LINK procedure in the same room as close as possible to the Home Aware
TM Main unit.
To link the doorbell to your HomeAware™ Main unit follow the steps below.
- Press Set Up button on the Main unit and the word LINK will be shown on the display, press Enter. LINK will begin blinking.
- Press the link button on the bottom of your doorbell unit and a red blinking dot will start blinking on top of the doorbell. DONE will scroll across screen when linked.

Placement of the Doorbell Transmitter
Proper placement of the Home Aware TM doorbell transmitter is important
because it uses Digital RF frequencies to send its signal. It’s important to
not place or install it on anything made of metal because RF signals cannot
transmit through anything made of metal.
Installation and Set Up of Doorbell Transmitter
Note: There are two methods to install/set up the doorbell transmitter,
both require batteries
- Stand-alone no chime box. With this method no existing doorbell chime box is available. Placement of the transmitter must be within 50ft of the Home Aware TM Main unit (See Step 1 for doorbell transmitter set up below).
- To existing chime box. This is the preferred method as it keeps the transmitter out of the elements and in closer range to the main unit (See step 2 for doorbell transmitter to existing chime box set up below).
Please determine which method you will use and continue with the following
installation directions.
Step 1) Installation with No Existing Doorbell Chime Box
For this method you will need the provided connector wire to install. We
provide screws, and a mounting block (see diagram for transmitter installation
on next page), also see step by step instructions.
To install to a hard surface using the provided hardware follow these steps:
- Install mounting block using provided short screw. Install the small side to the surface (side without arrow). This will provide a space for the unit to slide over in order to attach to the mounting block.
- Remove the screw cover at the top of the doorbell unit, the cover has the Sonic Alert logo on it; this will slide up to remove. Once removed, you’ll see the top screw mounting hole.
- Once the mounting block is in place, and you have removed the top screw cover, position the back of the doorbell transmitter over the mounting block. There is a square opening that the block will fit into see below. Position that opening over the mounting block. Next slide the doorbell unit down on the block about 1/8 inch and install the top screw. The doorbell unit should stay on by itself if installed correctly. If not then you may have the block mounted upside down, try reversing it.
Installation with No Existing Doorbell Chime Box Continued
- Now that the doorbell unit is installed over the mounting block and in place, you now can install the long screw in the top hole, and replace the screw cover.
Installation to Existing Powered Door Chime
With this method you can install the HomeAware ™ transmitter to your existing
AC powered doorbell chime. This method allows you to use the existing doorbell
button so there aren’t two buttons outside.
Use the provided connector wire to connect the doorbell transmitter to your
existing AC powered chime box. Remove chime box cover and connect the red and
white wires to the existing terminal screws
(common and front) if connecting to the front door. Otherwise connect the red
and white wires to the
(common and rear) screws for the rear door.
Next, plug the jack at the opposite end of the wire into the input on the side
of the doorbell transmitter. To test press the existing doorbell button in
your home, if the red LED lights up the installation was successful. If the
red light does not light up check the wiring again, check if chime box has
power, also was the existing chime working before you installed the wire?
Please note not all doorbell chime boxes will work with the transmitter.
Mounting the Doorbell Transmitter
Use the provided hardware kit to mount the transmitter. See diagram above for
doorbell transmitter set up.
