1. Shut off power at the breaker.

NOTE: If you are unsure which breaker to flip, turn off the master breaker or contact an electrician.

CAUTION! You’ll be working with electrical wires during the install process. If you encounter damaged or unsafe wiring, or if you are unsure, uncomfortable, or inexperienced, please consult with a licensed electrician.

WARNING! If your home has multiple chimes, you will need to ensure any additional chimes are bypassed by connecting the wires connected to Front and Trans together with a wire nut.

2. Remove your doorbell chime’s cover.

3. Loosen the Front and Trans terminal screws, and disconnect the attached wires.

NOTE: The included Chime Kit Mini must be fitted or the chime must be bypassed by connecting the Front and Trans wires together with an included wire nut. If your home has more than one chime, the additional chimes must be bypassed.
