Troubleshooting A. Chime does not sound: • Red light on the sensor does not light. Check battery polarity. Replace the sensor battery. • Red light on the sensor does light. Make sure sensor and chime codes are the same (see Code Setting below). Make sure the plug-in chime has power going to it. B. Chime sounds when not intended (false triggers): Chime is receiving interference from another wireless device; change the code setting (see Code Setting below). C. Battery seems OK, but the chime does not work when installed: • Do not mount the sensor on metal or near metal studs. This reduces the sensor range. Use 1/4" to 1/2" (6 to 13 mm) wood shims to move the sensor off the metal surface. • Concrete floors may reduce range. Move chime away from floor. • Try different locations for the chime closer to the sensor. D. Code Setting: It is recommended to only change one code position at a time and then check to see if system is functioning properly. 1. Unplug chime from power source. 2. Open the cases and locate the jumpers on both the sensor and chime. 3. The sensor and chime both have eight different jumper locations. Jumper positions 1 through 7 are used for setting the code. 595-5724-04 -- Continued

B. Chime sounds when not intended (false triggers):
Chime is receiving
interference from another wireless device; change the code setting (see
