DETERMINE USABLE LOCATIONS
Do not plan to mount pushbutton directly on metal or concrete
surfaces; install a 1/8-1/4” wood spacer between pushbutton and
metal or concrete mounting surface.
Some stucco houses have metal mesh in the wall structure, which
will affect the wireless chime performance.
Experiment with various pushbutton and chime locations to
determine location that gives best performance before mounting
permanently.
Chime must not be located within 1-foot of any metal.
Pushbutton and chime should be located within 300-feet of each
other.

2. Select a level location and hold pushbutton in desired mounting
location.

4. Confirm chime-tone sounded.
5. If chime-tone does not sound, temporarily affix pushbutton to
mounting surface with double-stick or folded-over tape; repeat Steps 3
and 4.
6. If chime-tone still does not sound, move location of chime closer to
pushbutton; repeat Steps 3 and 4.
