5. The chime can be installed vertically or horizontally. Determine your
preferred orientation. Locate the arrows on the front of the chime
base. Make sure one of the arrows is pointing up. (Figure 4)
6. Bring wires through the circular wire hole (D) in chime base. (Figure 4)
7.
Mount chime base to wall using screws provided. Always use 2
screws for wall mounting. (Figure 4)

8. Connect wires to the screwless wiring connector as follows: Wire "F"
to connector terminal "F" , wire "T" to connector terminal "T" and wire
"R" to connector terminal "R" if installed. (Figure 3)
9. Proceed to section titled: "INSTALL WIRED PUSHBUTTON" .
EXISTING WIRED CHIME INSTALLATION
TURN OFF POWER AT SERVICE ENTRANCE.
1. Verify a 16-volt transformer with a minimum rating of 10 VA is in-
stalled.
2. Remove existing chime cover.
3. Label all wires in the following manner:
"F" – Front Pushbutton Wire
"T" – Transformer Wire
"R" – Rear Pushbutton Wire (if installed)
4. Disconnect all wires from existing chime base and remove from wall.
5. Follow Steps 6 through 9 under section titled: "NEW WIRED

INSTALL WIRED PUSHBUTTONS
Power to transformer should be disconnected during pushbutton
installation.
A diode must be added to the front door pushbutton so that power
will be supplied continuously to the chime.
Do not install a diode on the rear door pushbutton.
1.
Locate the envelope containing the front door pushbutton diode.

PUSHBUTTON
2. If using an existing pushbutton(s), remove existing pushbutton(s)
from wall. If installing new pushbutton(s), refer to installation
instructions provided with pushbutton(s).
3. Gently loosen pushbutton terminal screws and install diode from Step
1 on front door pushbutton only. (Figure 5) Wrap diode wires around
terminals and clip excess wires. (Figure 6)

4. Connect the chime wire to the front door pushbutton terminal closest to
the silver band on the diode. Connect the transformer wire to the other
terminal.
5. Restore power to transformer.
6. Press the pushbutton and listen for the chime to sound. If chime does
not operate, disconnect power to transformer and reverse orientation of
diode. Restore power to transformer.
7.
After confirming chime operates, follow steps under section titled
"Manage Chime Notification" to select a tune, set tune duration, and
set volume.
8. Install pushbutton(s) on wall.
NOTE: To prevent shorting on metal siding, place a piece of
insulating tape on the siding surface near the diode.
NOTE: Lighted pushbutton brightness will be reduced by 30%-40%.
This is normal and will increase the life of the bulb.
9. Place cover (B) over chime base (A) and press down to install.
A "click" will confirm that it is securely attached. (Figure 1)
