User's Manual

We are controlled by the FCC on the amount of power that can be used and
sometimes it is not enough for large heavy walled mailboxes. Therefore we do
not recommened the Mail Chime for large mailboxes, however if you have one
and are having problems, please do the following.
1.) Be sure you have a good battery.
2.) Turn the knob on the Transmitter to # 3. The knob is intended to turn hard.
If additional adjustments are needed, please do the following:
1.) Add a piece of wood under the Transmitter.
2.) The wood should be at least 4" X 4" and
3/4 -1 inch thick.

Recode Procedure
Shown below is a recode procedure. It is very unlikly that you should ever need to
use this procedure. Your unit will not lose it's code unless someone holds the
reset button on the receiver down for an extended period of time.
1. Remove the Transmitter from your mailbox door by removing the four screws.
2. Place the Transmitter down on a surface next to your Receiver so that the
battery is on the top side facing the ceiling.
3. Hold down the reset button on the Receiver until the lights goes out. It will
take about 8-9 seconds before the light goes out.
4. Release the reset button and immediately turn over the Transmitter while the
light is blinking so that the battery is facing down on the table.
5. You should hear 2 quick beeps.

1. The knob on the Transmitter is set on # 4 for curb side mailboxes. Do not
move the knob unless you have a wallmounted or slot type mailbox.
2. The Transmitter uses a ball tilt switch so it is normal for you to hear a
rattle when you tip it.
