We had a similar problem with a wired doorbell. There is a diode in the doorbell itself that causes the chime to ring fully. If the diode is backwards, you get just a small tone and can only hear the full chime if you hold the button down. If this sounds like your problem, open up the doorbell at the button end (or have an electrician do it) and reverse the diode.

SOURCE: my pushbutton doorbell activates my neighbor's chime

in the chime box and remote you can change the setting for the remote signal that is picked up( refer to your manual for the correct settings) these will be a set of pin connections in the chime box and in the remote switch that will have to be set to another selection

SOURCE: 'Doorman' chimes keep chiming, without bell being pushed

I had the same problem - turned out to be a cordless phone nearby. If you have one, try moving the bell away from the phone or vice-versa. Another possibility is a neighbour with the same code. There are some jumpers you can move around to change this.

SOURCE: why does chimes sound when no one as pressed bell...

water can get into the button on door inside is a spring that pushes a part of the switch away from the other and when someone presses it they join together and bell sounds but if the rain gets inside it can make an electrical connection between the two points open it up and see if there is any trace of water the just put a bit of pva glue over the top join on the switch it will water proof it and will also be easy to remove or it could be a low battery or if mains anything can set them off mobile phones tv any thing that sends a rf signal its best to have as small a gap as possible between the two units

My Blyss doorbell won't stop ringing. I have changed the batteries in the chime and tried various suggestions., cleaned the terminals in the bell push.Help please

If your Blyss doorbell won't stop ringing, there are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem. Here are some possible solutions:
  1. Check the wiring: The first thing to check is the wiring of your doorbell system. Make sure that all the wires are securely connected and that there are no loose or damaged wires. You can also try disconnecting the wires and then reconnecting them to see if that fixes the problem.
  2. Check the chime: If the wiring is fine, the next thing to check is the chime. Make sure that the chime is properly installed and that it is not damaged or loose. You can also try removing the chime and then reinstalling it to see if that fixes the problem.
  3. Check the bell push: If the chime is working properly, the next thing to check is the bell push. Make sure that the bell push is securely installed and that it is not damaged or loose. You can also try cleaning the terminals on the bell push to remove any dirt or debris that may be preventing it from working properly.
  4. Check the transformer: If the bell push is working properly, the next thing to check is the transformer. The transformer is a device that supplies power to your doorbell system, and if it is not working properly, it can cause your doorbell to ring continuously. Make sure that the transformer is securely installed and that it is not damaged or loose. You can also try disconnecting the transformer and then reconnecting it to see if that fixes the problem.
If none of these steps help, you may need to contact Blyss customer support for further assistance. They will be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps based on your particular doorbell model and setup.

My IQ America Doorbell has "none" RF Transmission Condition and cannot hear the doorbell when LCD Display Unit put inside the house, but when it is put close to Camera Door Unit, everything works fine....

This is caused by either the distance between the doorbell and display unit being too great or the construction of your property like brick walls absorbing the radio signal. To overcome these issues you can add a WiFi booster that you can help increase the RF signal (radio Frequency). You will need to consult the instructions to allow you to setup the doorbell to booster.

I have just purchased a wireless doorbell but it does not explain how to change the tune, please help.

Most wireless Door bells go ding-dong! Does your doorbell play Greensleves, or Home on the Range?

Did you get 2 buttons with it?
One is for the front, which makes the bell chime one way and the other is for the rear and it makes it chime differently.
