Having issues entering Setup Mode?

First, try fully charging the battery prior to setup:

1. Plug the battery into a power source with the orange USB cable that came with your device.
2. Let the battery charge fully — until the orange light turns off and the green light remains on.
3. After it's fully charged, insert the battery and try pushing the black button in front of your doorbell again. Wait for the light to start spinning in front to indicate Setup Mode.

If you're still having issues, try performing a hard reset:

1. With the battery inserted, old down the black button on the front for

   15 seconds

   , then release it.
2. The light on the front will flash a few times. This means your doorbell is restarting.
3. Give it about a minute to complete this process.
4. Try putting it into Setup Mode again by pressing and releasing the black button on the front.
