Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The doorbell
sounds but
does not play
the entire tune
or the “TUNE”
button does not
work.
The push button
diode is not in-
stalled correctly
or is not work-
ing properly.
Verify the diode is attached securely to the main push button; see
step 5 under Installation - Wired Doorbell. The doorbell may not
function properly if a diode is installed on more than one push
button. Note: Some push buttons have a pre-installed diode. An
additional diode should not be installed if the push button has a
pre-installed diode. If the musical tune still does not sound com-
pletely, replace the diode (Type 1N4001-50V-1A, available at a local
electrical component supplier).
The trans-
former may
not be working
properly.
If the diode is connected to the “FRONT” door push button and
the doorbell does play the entire tune, the doorbell is not receiving
enough power from the transformer. Test the transformer voltage out-
put with a volt meter. Set volt meter to read A/C voltage. The voltage
should read between 18 - 22 volts A/C on the low voltage side of the
transformer when the doorbell is NOT playing. If the volt meter reads
below 18 volts, replace the transformer.

near a concrete floor
or wall.
Concrete may reduce range. Move the doorbell away
from the concrete surface.
The doorbell and push
button are installed too
far apart.
Locate the doorbell closer to the push button.
Doorbell sounds
when not intended
(false triggers).
Doorbell is receiving in-
terference from another
wireless device.
Reset doorbell and push button.
Remove push button batteries. Wait 30 seconds.
Press and hold the push button for 10 to 15 seconds
within 60 seconds after installing battery into the
push button.
Press and hold the button on the doorbell until the
doorbell sounds a “Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep”.
To re-sync the push button and doorbell, follow step
2 under Installation - Wireless Doorbell.
