Thank you for choosing the Wireless Home Doorbell Kit from
Swann. It’s the ideal system for easily installing a doorbell
without the hassle of wiring.

How does it work?

Basically, there are two parts to the Home Doorbell Kit.

1. The Indoor Alarm Receiver works as an alarm buzzer.
It monitors for signals coming from the Doorbell, and
activates the chime and doorbell LED in response to that
signal.

2. The Doorbell enables visitors to send a chime to the Indoor
Alarm Receiver so you know that someone is waiting at
your doorstep.

Installing batteries

Battery Safety Information

Replace batteries at the same time. Do not mix new and
old batteries or battery types (for example, alkaline and
lithium batteries). Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Dispose of used batteries promptly in accordance with
local regulations.

1. Push the release tab and lift off the battery compartment
cover.

2. Insert 3 new "AA" alkaline batteries, matching the polarity
markings (+ and -) inside the battery compartment.

3. Put the battery compartment cover back on by pressing
down until the release tab clicks into place.

Placement

There is no requirement to mount the Indoor Alarm Receiver.
As it is also completely freestanding, you may find it more
convenient to place it on a shelf or table. One of the benefits of
a battery operated wireless receiver is that if you have a large
house, you can take the receiver with you. No more missing
visitors because you were all the way at the back of the house
or by the pool!

If you would like to mount the Indoor Alarm Receiver, we've
included all the gear (template, screws and wall plugs) you'll
need to hang it on the wall. Refer to the supplied template for
instructions on mounting the receiver.

new and used batteries away from children. If the battery
compartment does not close securely, stop using the product
and keep it away from children. If you think batteries might
have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body,
seek immediate medical attention.

Activating

1. Lift off the name plate using the notch on either side to
reveal the battery compartment.

2. Pull the plastic tab sticking out of the battery compartment
to remove the tab and power on your Doorbell.

Mounting

The Doorbell can be mounted by sticking it to a wall using the
included adhesive strip.

1. Choose an appropriate location for your Doorbell - flat,
smooth surfaces are ideal. Clean the surface with an
alcohol/cleaning wipe, and let dry.

2. Peel off the adhesive strip liner, and then attach the
Doorbell to the wall by pressing firmly for 30 seconds.

OPERATING BASICS

Adjusting the chime volume

You can change the loudness of the Indoor Alarm Receiver
using the Volume button on the back of the receiver.

Three volume levels are available: High, Medium and Low.

Changing the chime

The Indoor Alarm Receiver provides a choice of 36 different
chimes. To change the doorbell chime:

1. Press the Chime Select button on the back of the Indoor
Alarm Receiver. The next chime is played. Keep pressing
the button until you hear a chime you like.

2. Press and hold the Doorbell Select button on the back of
the Indoor Alarm Receiver until the Doorbell LED indicator
lights up.

3. Within 10 seconds, press the button on the Doorbell.
The Indoor Alarm Receiver plays the selected chime
for confirmation. The selected chime will now be heard
whenever someone presses the Doorbell button.

Silent mode

Like some peace and quiet for a period of time? You can put the
doorbell chime on “silent”. Simply press the Doorbell Select
button on the back of the Indoor Alarm Receiver to turn the
chime off. The Indoor Alarm Receiver beeps twice, confirming
the chime has been muted.

If a visitor presses the Doorbell button while the chime

is muted, you will still be visually alerted by the Doorbell

LED indicator blinking on the Indoor Alarm Receiver.

OPERATING BASICS

To turn the chime back on, simply press the Doorbell

Select button again. You will hear a single confirmation

beep from the Indoor Alarm Receiver.

Low battery warning

The Indoor Alarm Receiver will notify you know when battery
power in your devices is running low.

• Install new batteries for your Indoor Alarm Receiver when
all 4 LED indicators start blinking at the same time.

• Install a new battery (CR2032) for your Doorbell when the
Doorbell LED indicator on the Indoor Alarm Receiver starts
blinking every 15 seconds.

Pairing your Doorbell

The Doorbell and Indoor Alarm Receiver in your kit have
already been paired so all you have to do is put batteries in and
your devices are ready to use. If for some reason pairing is lost,
here's how to pair them again:

1. Press and hold the Reset button on the back of the Indoor
Alarm Receiver until all the LED indicators light up. This
resets the Indoor Alarm Receiver.

2. Press and hold the Doorbell Select button on the back of
the Indoor Alarm Receiver until the Doorbell LED indicator
lights up.

3. Within 10 seconds, press the button on the Doorbell. The
Indoor Alarm Receiver plays the default chime to confirm
successful pairing.
