Code and Tune Settings

Note: Most installations will not require you to change any jumpers on
your chime and push button.

The push button and chime communicate by using a code that can be changed
by removing and/or adding jumpers on both the push button and chime. The
code is factory set; however, there are 128 selectable codes that allow you
to expand your system and prevent outside interference. Other wireless prod­ucts may cause interference and the system may not function properly. Fol­low the instructions below for setting a new code.

1. Open the cases and locate the jumpers on both the push button and chime
(See illustration on page 4).

2. The push button and chime both have eight different jumper locations.
The jumper positions 1 through 7 are used for setting the code.

3. To change the code, add and/or remove jumpers as needed. It is recom­mended to only change one jumper at a time and then check to see if
system is functioning properly. Note: Jumpers in positions 1 through 7
must be exactly the same for both the push button and chime for this
system to function.

Troubleshooting

Chime does not sound:

• Make sure push button and chime codes are the same (See pages 3 and 4).

• Check orientation of push button battery (See page 4).

• Check charge of push button and chime batteries, replace if necessary.

Batteries seem OK, but the chime does not work when installed:

• Do not mount chime or push button on metal or near metal studs. This
reduces the transmitter range. Use 1/4" to 1/2" (6 to 13 mm) wood shims
to move chime or push button off metal surface.

• Concrete floors may reduce range. Move chime away from floor.

•Try locating chime closer to push button.

The range of the wireless chime can vary with location, temperature and
battery condition.
