Bypassing your doorbell with a Pro Power Kit V2

The most common fix for power issues is to bypass your doorbell with a Pro Power Kit V2. If you do not have a Pro Power Kit V2 contact our Customer Support Team or get additional help bypassing your internal doorbell with the Pro Power Kit V2.

Upgrade your transformer

If the bypass method doesn't solve your power problems or you don't want to bypass your doorbell mechanism, consider upgrading your transformer. When purchasing and installing a new transformer, we recommend choosing one with at least 16 volts AC and at least 30 volt-amps (40 VA max) and 50/60Hz. Do not use a halogen or garden-lighting transformer or a DC transformer/power supply.

Use a Plug-in Adapter
