QUICK START

Sound Volume Control
Press the volume control button on the receiver.
There are 5 volume levels: 0dB, 25dB, 45dB, 85dB and 115dB.
Toggle between high and low volume with the volume control button.

Setting the Ringtone (Melody)
Press the backward and forward buttons to choose your favorite ringtone. The receiver is playing the selected ringtone.
Follow the pairing steps below to sync the new ringtone. The new ringtone will be set for the most recently synced transmitter.

Pairing Steps

STEP 1:
Select your favorite ringtone before you start the pairing.
STEP 2:
Hold and press the volume control button for 5s until a “Ding-dong” is heard and the LED indicator starts flashing. You are now in the pairing mode.
STEP 3:
Active the transmitter by pressing the push button. This will send a signal to the receiver.

IMPORTANT REMARKS:

• The pairing mode will quit automatically after the pairing is completed.
• The pairing mode will last for 5 seconds only.
• The transmitter supplied with this kit is already paired with the receivers and set to the default ringtone “Dingdong”. If not, please refer to the “QUICK START” chapter  to pair the transmitter with the receivers and set your favorite ringtone.

Two or More Transmitters Pairing
Pairing is done per transmitter. Do you want to link more transmitters? Then follow steps 1 to 3 again.
This way you can pair the transmitters to the receiver one by one.

Reset
Press the forward button for 5 seconds to reset the receivers to the default setting. When the receiver sounds “Ding Dong” with the LED indicator flashing, then the reset was successful. The setting is back to default: the receiver comes back to the 1st melody and there is no transmitter paired anymore.

RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT:

• Test the doorbell range first before the installation of the transmitter.
• It is not advisable to mount the transmitter onto metal surfaces as the material can block RF signals between the transmitter and the receiver. However, if this is the only option then we recommend that you use the 3M double-sided adhesive tape provided as opposed to using the provided screws.
• It is not advisable to mount the transmitter outdoors directly without any shelter which could accelerate the aging of plastic materials.

The Receivers
Insert the batteries into the receiver. Place the receiver on the designated spot. The receiver will work right away. If the receiver does not respond, pair it again using the steps described on page 39.

The Transmitter
Installation Method 1: Double-sided adhesive tape
This is the preferred installation method.

After ensuring the right mounting position and testing the doorbell range, clean the area where you intend to install the transmitter. The area has to be flat.
Tear off one side of the 3M double-sided adhesive tape and stick it to the backside of the transmitter.
Tear off the other side of the tape and put the transmitter onto the wall. Press for 10 seconds.

Installation Method 2: Screw & Plugs
This is the optional method.

Installing the transmitter with screws is very easy. If you have the right tools, it should work. Read the instructions carefully before mounting.

Necessities:

• The transmitter
• The small screwdriver (included in the package)
• A pencil
• An impact drill with the correct drill bit
• The 2 plugs
• The 2 screws
• A Phillips screwdriver
• Safety glasses
• A vacuum cleaner (for cleaning up all the mess)

Step 1: Determine the correct mounting position
Measuring + marking the drill position is by far the most important steps. Make sure that the holes you are going to make in the wall are measured very precisely.

• Use the small screwdriver to open carefully the backside of the transmitter. Insert the screwdriver into the hole between the cover and the base of the transmitter. Squeeze the screwdriver in, meanwhile tilt downwards to open the cover.
• Use the base of the transmitter as a template to mark the position of the drill holes with a pencil.

Step 2: Drill the holes

• Use an impact drill and a drill bit to drill the hole. Use a masonry drill for a stone wall, and a concrete drill for a concrete wall.
• The diameter of the drill bit must have the same diameter as the diameter of the plug.
• The drilling depth must be equal to the length of the plug + a maximum of 5mm. Do not drill any deeper holes.
• Use safety glasses when drilling the holes.
• Hold the drill directly in front of the wall and support the drill with your other hand. Always drill at right angles and never change direction while drilling.

FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
These can be found in the chapter “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – Safe Drilling”.

Step 3: Installing the transmitter base

• Push a plug in each drilled hole. Place the base over the holes in the wall. Use a Phillips screwdriver to screw a screw into each plug.
• Do not over-tighten the screws.
• Push the body of the transmitter on the transmitter base.

Step 4: Clean up

• Remove the dust from the drilling with your vacuum cleaner.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

First-time use:Remove the plastic tab. This plastic tab prevents the battery from draining and must be removed before use..
STEP 1:
Use the small screwdriver to open carefully the backside of the transmitter. Insert the screwdriver into the hole between the cover and the base of the transmitter. Squeeze the screwdriver in, meanwhile tilt downwards to open the cover.
STEP 2:
Unscrew the 2 small screws.
Remove carefully the printed circuit board.

STEP 3:
Install the battery in the battery compartment located at the back of the printed circuit board. Check specifications for the correct battery.

STEP 4:
Place the printed circuit board back in the cover and fix it with both small screws. Close the back cover.

Safe Drilling
Drilling a hole seems harmless, but it can be quite dangerous. Accidents regularly happen when a drill is used. It is possible that when you are drilling a hole in the wall, you unexpectedly slip. Another problem could be that you just haven’t been paying attention or that you’re being distracted. It is therefore important that when you start drilling you always pay attention, and that you are busy with your job.
To make sure you can get started safely, here are some important safety tips. Follow these tips and reduce the risk of injury while drilling.

• When you start drilling, you must check beforehand that there are no electrical cables or other things in the wall.
• When drilling a hole, you must use safety clothing. Think of safety glasses, hearing protection, and work gloves. In this way, you will in any case work safely.
• Make sure that long hair is in a pin or elastic band and cannot get caught in the drill.
• If there is a locking feature on the ON/OFF button of the drill, do not use it. If something goes wrong when drilling in the locked position, the drill will continue to rotate.
• Check beforehand whether the drill is still in good condition. Make sure the drill is clean and the right type for your job. It is also important to check whether the drill is properly secured in the drill.
• When you have everything ready and are ready to start, it is important that you take a stable position and that you always hold the drill with both hands. In this way, you ensure that you avoid accidents.
• Always stand straight in front of the hole to be drilled.
• Always remove the plug from the socket when assembling, changing, or removing the drill. Also, do this when you set the appropriate speed for the drill.
• Always put the drill in a safe position when not in use to avoid accidents.

CLEANING

• Unplug the receivers always from the mains socket before cleaning.
