You have purchased a Universal Door Chime that serves all residential applications. It can be installed
as a Wired chime, where the power is supplied by a transformer with wires, or it can be a Wireless
chime powered by 3 C cell batteries. Use the following guidelines to assist you in deciding the mode
that best serves your application:
If your home does not have a wired doorbell, you should use the Wireless Mode.
If you have a wired doorbell, but it doesn’t work:
• First install this chime in the Wired mode. Connect the wires as explained in the section
“Replacing a Wired Doorbell”. If the chime works, this is the best option.
• If the chime does not work, purchase either 1 or 2 IQ America Wireless Pushbuttons and follow the
instructions for the Wireless mode.
If you are replacing a working Wired Doorbell:
• The Wired mode would be the best option.
If you are building a new house:
• The Wired mode would be best if you are having an electrician install the door chime.
The electrician will install a transformer and run the wires for the door chime as well as pushbuttons.
• You can also elect to use the Wireless mode. However, the batteries in the chime and
pushbuttons will need to be replaced periodically.
New installations will require a 16V 10W transformer. It is suggested that this be installed by
a licensed electrician.
6. A small electrical component called a ‘diode’ is supplied with the chime. Install the diode
across the terminal screws of the Front Doorbell pushbutton as shown in Figure 2 & 3.
Without this diode the chime will not work. Connect the wires to the Front Doorbell Pushbutton.
Install the Front Doorbell Pushbutton in the desire location using the screws provided.
7. Turn the power on.
