Important

Do not mount the Push Button unit on metal or near metal door frame, security door, or in close proximity to any metal door furniture. The range of the unit may be substantially reduced.

Tone Selection

The Arlec Long Range Wireless Door Chime is supplied with four built in chimes; Westminster, Ding Dong, 3 Note and Alarm

Chimes. The chime style is selected by a pushbutton inside rear of push button unit. This pushbutton is marked with “S”.

Each time that this Tune Selector push button is pressed, the next of the 4 chimes will be played. You can step through and listen to each in turn. When you hear the melody you wish to choose, do not press the tune selector again. The chime will play the selected melody each time the bell press is pushed. At any time you can select another melody by repeating the tune selector button process.

Refit the Push Button Unit rear cover. Whenever the Push

Button Unit battery is fitted or replaced, the chime tune may default to the Westminster Chime

Door Chime Operation

Once batteries have been installed, chime selected and the Push Button and Chime units have been installed in their desired locations, the system is ready for use.

The Strobe indicator can be turned off, by switching the switch located on the rear of the unit within the battery compartment, to “Off”. (See fig. 6)

Chime Volume

The chime volume can be controlled using the switch located on the rear of the unit within the battery compartment. The switch labelled “Lo Hi” selects between low-volume or hi-volume.

House Code Setup

Should your Door Chime unit activate intermittently for no reason at all, it is possible that the uncontrolled activation may be caused by another unit operating nearby on the same frequency coding.

The coded frequency of the Push Button transmitter and Door

Chime receiver can be changed to avoid this problem.

1. Remove rear of Push Button unit and battery cover of

Chime unit.

2. Remove batteries from both units and leave disconnected for at least 10 seconds. This will erase memory of existing code.

3. Re-insert batteries.The door chime will give two beeps indicating it is ready to accept new code.

4. Press the Push button unit once, it will generate a new house code randomly and transmit to the chime, which will store the code automatically.
