Troubleshooting
Chime does not sound:
• Red light on the transmitter does not light. Check polarity of batteries. Replace
the transmitter batteries.
• Red light on the transmitter does light. Make sure the transmitter and the
chime channels are the same (see page 5). Make sure the plug-in chime has
power going to it.
Battery seems OK, but the chime does not work when installed:
• Do not mount the transmitter 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 the
transmitter off the metal surface.
• Attach the microphone directly to the existing chime case very near the ringing
part (but not on it) of the existing chime.
• Try locating chime closer to transmitter.
The range of the chime can vary with location, temperature, and battery
condition.
Chime false triggers to loud noises:
The Extension Transmitter has special circuitry to reduce false triggers from
most common household noises. The transmitter is designed to optimize its
response to mid-frequency sound where most mechanical doorbells operate
and to minimize response to extremely low or high frequency sounds. Also, the
desired sound must be present continuously for at least 2 seconds. This design
reduces the response to door slams, vibration, normal music and talking, etc.
Loud continuous noises such as yelling children or very loud music may cause
false triggering. When operating in a location with unusually high ambient noise
levels try the remedies below.
• Turn the sensitivity control counterclockwise to reduce sensitivity.
• Mount the microphone inside the existing chime as mentioned in step 4.
