If chime doesn’t operate, see trouble­shooting section.

Before mounting the button outside,
hold it where you wish it to be and test
the operation. If it works, mount it there.
If it doesn’t work, see the troubleshoot­ing section. If mounting to a metallic or
concrete surface, use a 1/8” to 1/4”
wood spacer between the back of the
button and the surface to increase the
range.

Wireless chime range can vary from 20
to 125 feet depending on the construc­tion of your home. Wood or vinyl siding
are ideal. Steel, aluminum, brick or
stucco decrease the range.

4. Set each button to ring a different
tune for each door. Change door set
jumpers on the button.
