    Troubleshooting

    A ‘beep’ sound is heard in learn mode…

  • The push you are programming has already been learned by the chime.
  • If you want to change the icon associated with the push, use the unlearn  procedure,then program the push again.

Two ‘beep’ sounds are heard after the normal chime sound…

  • This indicates a low battery in the bell push that activated the chime. Install a new battery, type CR2032.
    When the bell push is operated, the amber confidence light does not turn on, or is only on for a short time…
  • In normal operation, the amber light will turn on for 1 second. When the battery is weak, the light will only turn on for a short time. Install a new battery, type CR2032.

The chime does not work…

  • Check that the batteries are the correct type, LR14 ‘C’ cells. Only use alkaline batteries.
  • Check that the batteries are fitted correctly. (No wrong polarity)
  • The chime could be out of range of the bell push. Try the chime in a different location.
  • The chime might not have learned the identity of the bell push. Follow the programming procedure.

The chime does not sound…

  • Check that the volume control is not at the minimum setting.

Range is reduced…

  • Metal structures, including uPVC door frames can reduce the range of the product.
    Avoid mounting the push or chime on or near metal structures.
  • Other equipment can cause radio interference that affects your chime.
  • Walls and ceilings will reduce the range.
  • Weak batteries will reduce range. Replace every 12–18 months. In cold conditions (below 41ºF [5ºC]), batteries may need to be replaced more often.

Amber light flashes…

  • When the chime battery is low, an amber light located at the side of the chime will flash every 5 seconds. Fit new batteries in the chime, type LR14 ‘C’ cells. Only use alkaline batteries.
