Thank you for choosing the Swann Wireless Classic
Doorbell. It’s an ideal unit for easily installing a
doorbell without the hassle of wiring. Simply add
some batteries, mount the two pieces where needed
and you are ready to go! The doorbell features 32
chimes and two levels of volume to suit your needs.
Batteries (doorbell receiver)
• The doorbell receiver unit requires 3 x AA batteries
to operate (which are not included). For best
performance, use fresh, high quality AA alkaline
batteries.
• To install them, unclip the battery cover on the rear of the unit to reveal the
battery compartment.
• The polarity of batteries is indicated by the markings inside the battery
compartment.
Batteries (doorbell unit)
• The doorbell requires 1 x 23A/12V battery (included).
• To install the battery, pry o the back cover using a small, at-head screwdriver in
the small notch at the bottom of the doorbell.
• To nish, clip the back cover back onto the doorbell unit.
Setting the chime
• To change the chime and volume, remove the battery cover from the doorbell
receiver by unclipping it.
• To test the volume, either press the doorbell button or press the chime button.
Set the switch near the battery compartment to HIGH or LOW depending on your
needs.
• To change chimes, press the chime select button. The unit will play the next
chime. Keep pressing the button until you hear a chime you like. You do not need
to con rm your selection. The chime playing is the chime selected and the one
which will be heard when the doorbell is pressed.

Mounting the doorbell
The doorbell is mounted by simply sticking it to a wall using the included adhesive
strip(s). To make it easier, it might help to remove the backing plate rst for mounting.
• On the back of the doorbell button you will see an arrow and the word UP
indicating which way the doorbell is meant to be mounted. Your needs may di er
but keep this in mind for tting the two pieces of the doorbell together.
• On the bottom of the doorbell is a little notch. Using a at-head screwdriver, pop
o the back cover. You will see that the rear of the doorbell also has markings
showing which way is UP on the doorbell.
• If you need to install or change the 23A battery in the doorbell, now would be a
good time to do it.
• Peel o one side of the adhesive strip and attach it to the rear of the backing
plate, ensuring none of it is visible from the front.
• Find the area you want to mount the doorbell. Flat, smooth surfaces are ideal.
Make sure they are clean and dry before mounting.
• Peel o the other side of the adhesive strip and attach the back plate to the
mounting surface.
• Click the front part of the doorbell onto the rear back plate making sure the guides
(the arrow and the word ‘UP’) are mounted the same way on both pieces and that
the rubber seal is properly tted to ensure the unit remains water resistant.
Mounting the receiver (speaker unit)
There is no requirement to mount the receiver. You may nd it more convenient to
place it on a shelf or table. One of the bene ts of a battery operated wireless doorbell
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 device, you simply need to attach the two screws
to a wall. Place them level to each other, about 70mm / 2 ¾” apart. Depending on
the surface, you may need to drill guide holes and/or use masonry plugs or dry wall
anchors.
Do not insert the screws all the way. Leave about 7mm / ¼” protruding from the
wall. Then place the unit onto the screws, ensuring the heads of the screws pass
through the two mounting holes on the rear of the unit. You can then shift the unit
downwards to ensure it sits on the screws rmly.
