Note: This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this product does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Please take attention that changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.

Industry Canada ICES-003 Compliance

Safety Instruction

CAUTIONS: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. BATTERY IS NOT USER REPLACEABLE.
Please read the manual before using the device.
Key Safety Tips for Transformer:

• Inspect your transformer thoroughly to prevent or minimize breakdowns. Before installation, monitor your transformer by checking for any burnt odor, damaged power cord or connectors, or any parts that are improperly installed.
• Keep the power off when working on the transformer. Make sure there is zero electrical leakage or continuity between the current source and the system.
• Learn the maximum voltage requirements of your transformer. Be careful of system overload from a single transformer, with the understanding that multiple transformers help balance the impedance of each load.
• Keep spare nuts, bolts, and other objects away from your work, so that they don’t touch or fall into the transformer.
• Be certain that your transformer is grounded, which will prevent static electricity and protect the coils from contacting the enclosure or core.
  • Always keep your transformer and all of its components dry and free from any kind of moisture or water. To protect unskilled onlookers, set up caution signs that warn people to keep away from danger.

Due to the product shape and dimensions, the name and address of the importer/ manufacturer are printed on the package.

Troubleshooting

1. I have installed my doorbell, but the chime in my home doesn’t function. Please confirm the following details.
2. Make sure the right input voltage range (12V to 24V) has been used. Your doorbell is designed to work with at least 12 volts of AC power, which is in line with a majority of standard doorbell systems. Doorbell running at a lower voltage (or running on DC rather than AC) may cause chime malfunction.
3. Select the right chime type (same as the product label) in the Hik-Connect app.
4. Make sure the chime model used in your home is compatible with the doorbell. Please check the compatibility list on  ttps://us.hikvision.com/en.
5. Power on the doorbell and wait for 10 minutes to 3 hours, and then try again.
6. I have failed to connect my doorbell to Wi-Fi.
7. Make sure your doorbell is not blocked by firewall or any limitation in your network.
8. Do not connect too many devices to the router.
9. Make sure the static IP setting is disabled and the router can distribute IP address to your device (DHCP is on).

My doorbell is offline frequently.

1. 1. Make sure the doorbell has a strong and stable Wi-Fi signal.

2. Make sure your router and the Internet is functional.
3. The doorbell requires at least 2 Mbps uploading speed, please make sure the bandwidth of the network is sufficient, and do not have too many devices connected to the router.
4. If all the troubleshooting techniques listed above do not resolve the problem, please delete the device from your Hik-Connect account, reset, and re-add.
