Product Overview

Preparation

Before beginning setup, there are some essential preparations to make.

To prepare for installation:

• TURN OFF THE POWER RUNNING TO YOUR EXISTING DOORBELL AT THE BREAKER.
• Remove your existing doorbell and disconnect wiring.
  
  TIP: Bend the power cables so they do not fall through the hole in the wall.
• Remove the metal mounting plate from the back of the doorbell by removing the pre-inserted security screw on the bottom using the start end of the included screwdriver.

Secure the mounting bracket

Next, choose one of the following bracket installations based on where you are mounting the doorbell:

For installing on brick, stucco, or siding:

Use the included mounting screws and plastic anchors to secure the mounting bracket to the wall.

For installing on a metal door frame:

Use the included door frame screws to secure the mounting bracket to the door frame.

NOTE
For both installations, ensure the power cables from the wall fit comfortably through the hole in the mounting bracket.

Wiring the doorbell

Next, you will complete the wiring for your new doorbell.

1. Loop the power cables around the power ports of the doorbell.
   
2. Use the included screws (×2) secure the power cables.
   
3. Push the wiring through the hole in the wall or door frame. Slide the doorbell down so the plastic tab on the doorbell locks into the notch on the mounting bracket.
   

NOTE
If the power cables in the wall are not long enough, use the optional power cable connectors and wire

Wiring the chime

You must determine the type of doorbell chime you have in your home: electronic or mechanical.

Not sure? If your doorbell chime is a classic *ding-dong* sound, chances are your chime is mechanical. If you are still not sure, remove the cover panel of your chime box - if you find springloaded levers and a physical metal chime, you have a mechanical chime.

For users with a mechanical chime, follow the extra steps below to complete the installation.

For mechanical chime owners:

1. Remove the cover panel of your doorbell chime box.
2. Loosen the screws labeled FRONT and TRANS using the Phillips end of the included screwdriver. Do not remove the screws, and be sure not to detach any connected wiring.
   
3. Connect the included chime kit to the green terminal on the end of the included wiring as shown below.
   
4. Connect the wiring from the chime kit to the FRONT and TRANS connectors in the chime box. Ensure that the existing wiring stays connected as well.
   NOTE: You may connect either wire to either connector.
   
5. Mount the chime kit to the inside of your chime box, or along the cover plate, using the included double-sided tape.
   
   Ensure the chime kit and wires are not touching the chimes or any moving components inside the chime box, or the doorbell chime will not sound correctly.
