• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
• Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) under all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
• When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Use NuTone® 16 volt transformer with a minimum rating of 10 VA (purchase separately).
• When stapling wires to studs or joists, do not allow staples to cut through wire insulation.

1. Mount the transformer to a junction box (attic location is not recommended) or circuit breaker box.
2. Connect house power leads to transformer leads: black to black, white to white, and ground to green. (Figure 2)
3. Route 2-conductor 18-22 gauge wire from the transformer screw terminals and from the pushbutton terminals to the chime location. (Figure 3)
4. Label all wires at the chime location in the following manner:
   • “F” – Front Pushbutton Wire
   • “T” – Transformer Wire
   • “R” – Rear Pushbutton Wire (if installed)
5. The chime can be installed vertically or horizontally. Determine your preferred orientation. Locate the arrows on the front of the chime base. Make sure one of the arrows is pointing up. (Figure 4)
6. Bring wires through the circular wire hole (D) in the chime base. (Figure 4)
7. Mount chime base to wall using screws provided. Always use 2 screws for wall mounting. (Figure 4)
8. Connect wires to the screwless wiring connector as follows: Wire “F” to connector terminal “F”, wire “T” to connector terminal “T” and wire “R” to connector terminal “R” if installed. (Figure 3)
9. Proceed to the section titled: “INSTALL WIRED PUSHBUTTON”

EXISTING WIRED CHIME INSTALLATION

TURN OFF THE POWER AT THE SERVICE ENTRANCE.

1. Verify a 16-volt transformer with a minimum rating of 10 VA is installed.
2. Remove the existing chime cover.
3. Label all wires in the following manner:
   • “F” – Front Pushbutton Wire
   • “T” – Transformer Wire
   • “R” – Rear Pushbutton Wire (if installed)
4. Disconnect all wires from the existing chime base and remove them from the wall.
5. Follow Steps 6 through 9 under the section titled: “NEW WIRED INSTALLATION.”

INSTALL WIRED PUSHBUTTONS

• Power to the transformer should be disconnected during pushbutton installation.
• A diode must be added to the front door pushbutton so that power will be supplied continuously to the chime.
• Do not install a diode on the rear door pushbutton.

1. Locate the envelope containing the front door pushbutton diode. (Figure 5)

2. If using an existing pushbutton(s), remove existing pushbutton(s) from the wall. If installing new pushbutton(s), refer to installation instructions provided with pushbutton(s).

3. Gently loosen the pushbutton terminal screws and install the diode from Step 1 on the front door pushbutton only. (Figure 5) Wrap diode wires around terminals and clip excess wires. (Figure 6)

4. Connect the transformer wire to the front door pushbutton terminal closest to the silver band on the diode. Connect the chime wire to the other terminal.

5. Restore power to the transformer.

6. Press the push button and listen for the chime to sound. If the chime does not operate, disconnect the power to the transformer and reverse the orientation of the diode. Restore power to the transformer.

7. After confirming chime operates, follow the steps under the section titled “Manage Chime Notification” to select a tune, set tune duration, and set volume.

8. Install pushbutton(s) on the wall.
   NOTE: To prevent shorting on metal siding, place a piece of insulating tape on the siding surface near the diode.
   NOTE: Lighted pushbutton brightness will be reduced by 30%-40%. This is normal and will increase the life of the bulb.

9. Place cover (B) over chime base (A) and press down to install. A “click” will confirm that it is securely attached. (Figure 1)

10. Proceed to the section titled: “Manage Chime Notifications”

WIRELESS CHIME INSTALLATION

• Unobstructed wireless operating range: Up to 100 feet.
• NOTE: Wireless pushbuttons are sold separately. Refer to the installation instructions included with the wireless pushbutton.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

1. Insert three alkaline “D” batteries (not included) (E) in the battery compartment. Make sure batteries are oriented properly. (Figure 7)
2. Obtain wireless pushbutton(s) (sold separately) and install battery per wireless pushbutton(s) instructions.
3. Press pushbutton(s) to confirm the chime mechanism and pushbutton(s) work properly. If the chime does not sound:
   • Confirm the code settings in the chime mechanism and wireless pushbutton(s) are the same. Jumpers (F) installed on the numbered contacts on the chime mechanism must match the switches or jumpers in the wireless pushbutton(s). (Figures 7 & 8)
   • Verify proper installation of batteries in the chime mechanism and pushbutton(s).
   • Check the condition of batteries in the chime mechanism and pushbutton(s). Replace if required.
4. After confirming chime operates, follow the steps under the section titled “Manage Chime Notification” before proceeding to Step 5.

6. Install the wireless pushbutton(s) at the desired door(s). Refer to installation instructions provided with wireless pushbutton(s).
7. Place the chime mechanism in the desired location. Confirm the operation by pressing the pushbutton(s). If the chime does not sound:
   • If the chime or pushbutton(s) are mounted on or near stucco or metal studs, the transmitter range may be reduced. Use wood shims to raise the chime or pushbutton(s) 1/4” to 1/2” from the surface.
   • Concrete floors and walls may also reduce transmitter range. Move the chime away from the concrete floor or wall.
   • Install chime mechanism closer to wireless pushbutton(s).
8. Remove batteries from the mechanism.
9. Mount the chime base to the wall using the screws provided (see Step 8 in the “New Wired Chime Installation” section).
10. After mounting the chime base to the wall, install batteries.
11. Place cover (B) over chime base (A) and press down to install. A “click” will confirm that it is securely attached. (Figure 1).
