It is a guess, but wireless doorbells have adjustable frequencies so that your neighbors door bell button doesn't ring yours as well. My guess is that the bell push and the chime unit are mis-matched. Do you have a manual? I can't find one.
What do you want to know ?
The door bell button has 1 12V alkaline battery type A23
not sure on the door bell unit on what battery it uses might be the same type ?
Both units have factory set toggle switches that you should not need to change - however the 1st 7 toggle switches control the code and must match on the door bell button and on the doorbell unit.
The eighth toggle switch controls the chime used so on or off on door bell unit or off or on on door bell button. there are three choice of chime..
Do not install the door chime on metal or near metal like wall studs with metal in them.
Make sure batteries in both units make contact with the terminals may be plastic insulator in the units - like packing / shipping insulator to save the battery life.
here is a web site with the units manual

You may need to change the frequency of the chime. In this model, you need to remove the batteries from the receiver unit and wait for a while. Then replace the batteries. The doorbell unit should automatically set itself to a different frequency once you press the button, which will(hopefully) solve the problem.
It seems impossible to find the instruction manual for the doorbell. But see http://oddsnsods.net/blog/?p=68 who had a similar problem with a different Siemens model, which works on the same principles. (I can't seem to be able to remove the battery from the door bell unit on the jsjs204, but it reset itself after changing the batteries in the receiver).
To fix the issue you need to remove the batterys from both the bell push and the bell unit for 10 mins, then replace the batterys and then push the bell push so it can switch channels and be different from the house down the road
Sandra, the contacts in bell push may need cleaning, as well as some minor readjustment of the contacts. Insects love to get into the bell push and can clogged it up. If you find that this doesn't solve the problem, Contact the Zenith Company 800-858-8501 to purchase a replacement.
The contacts in the outside push button unit may need cleaning. They do get dirty over time. If that doesn't solve your problem you can contact the Zenith Company, who is now is the manufacturer for tech service issues. 800-858-8501.
The doorbell buttons and your receiver must be on the same channel. If you will get out the directions that came with your unit, they will describe the process to go through to reset the specific "codes" for your buttons and receiver.
From User Guide:
Interference from a similar unit operating nearby:
a) simply remove the batteries from the push button and door chime units and rest for 10 seconds, this will erase memory
b) Insert the batteries into the push button and door chime units, the door chime unit will give 2-beeps to indicate that it is ready for the new registration code. Press the Push Button once, it will generate a new operation code randomly and send a wireless ignal to the door chime unit and it will sound to indicate that new operation code is registered and memorised.
(Note with this unit SX85R the door chime is mains powered, not battery powered, but above instructions are the same)
You need to change the pin configuration in both the remote buttons to match each other, (as well as the bell unit) just make sure they match on both bell units. Also, since one works just use that configuration and change the button pin configuration that does not work to the button that does on the other button unit.
