Please note: positioning the Door Chime (or a Bell Push) on or near metal
structures or reinforced PVCµ doors or door frames may reduce the
transmission range.

Remove the battery compartment cover and insert the two LR6(AA) alkaline
batteries as shown in Diagram 1.

When these batteries need replacing, the Battery Low Warning Light
(A in Diagram 2) will flash every 5 seconds.

The Door Chime can be free-standing or wall mounted using the wall bracket
provided. If wall mounting is preferred, screw the bracket to the wall, Diagram 3.
The Door Chime hooks onto the wall bracket as illustrated.

There is an external adapter socket (B in Diagram 2) which allows you to power
the Door Chime receiver from a 220-240V mains socket using the Friedland
Libra plug-in mains adapter which can be purchased separately
(UK BRITISH STANDARD Plug Model No: D254, Euro Plug Model No: D258).

Tune Selection

Your Door-Chime can play a 2 note or 4 note sequence.
On your Friedland Libra Bell Push you will find a Tune Select Control similar to one

of those in Diagram 4. If you require the 2 note sequence to be played move the
Control to position 1. If you require the 4 note sequence move the Control to position 2.

Please note: The note sequence choice described above is not available when
the Chime is being used with a Libra Handheld Pager, Model Number: D268.

Volume Control

The Volume Control (C in Diagram 2) enables you to adjust the volume of your
Door Chime at any time or turn it off completely. The settings are:

2. High

1. Low

0. Mute

System Codes - VITAL INFORMATION

Friedland Libra products use a coding system to ensure that they work together
and that there is no interference to or from a neighbouring Friedland wirefree product.

The system code in all Libra products is set using a series of 8 switches
(D in Diagram 5).

In order for your new Chime to work with a Libra Bell Push and other Libra products,
you will need to ensure that the system codes are adjusted to be the same by
following this procedure:

1. Check switches 1 to 8 in your existing Libra products.

2. Look at the position of the switches (D in Diagram 5) in your new Chime.

3. If switches 1 to 8 are not in the same position change the switches in your new
Chime to match those in your existing products using a pen tip, as illustrated in
Diagram 5.

Example: if you set switch 1 in your Bell Push to the ON position, then you must
set switch 1 in your Door Chime to the ON position.

In the unlikely event that your Door Chime rings without your Bell Push being used,
it means another Friedland wirefree product, either your own or a neighbour's, is
using the same system code as your own. You should change the system code in all
your products in the same way as described above.

Other Libra Products

All Friedland Libra products are compatible and will activate each other if the
system codes are set to be the same, as described above. For example, if you
install an additional Libra Bell Push for your back door, just ensure that you adjust
the system code to be the same as your other Bell Push and your Door Chime.

Movement Activated Door Chimes

Friedland Libra chimes can also be activated by a Friedland Spectra 433MHz
PIR Movement Detector/ Transmitter. All you have to do is make sure that the
PIR and Door Chime have the same system code.
