If your doorbell is wired to your compatible chime wiring and you lose power to the chime system, a doorbell press plays sound from the doorbell, but not from your in-home chime. When power to the chime system is restored, a doorbell press plays sound from the doorbell and your in-home chime.

• If you wire your doorbell to compatible chime wiring, your in-home chime will sound for doorbell button presses.
• When wired, doorbell battery life is extended up to two years. Even when wired, the doorbell is always powered by size AA, 1.5 volt, lithium non-rechargeable batteries.
• Mechanical or digital chime systems must provide 16 - 24 volts AC at 50 - 60Hz, and 40VA maximum to the doorbell. If your chime system provides less than 16 volts AC, the doorbell enters Event Response‍ mode.
