I am getting false chimes, no doorbell press and the unit plays random chimes. Any ideas? It's the only one in the home.

Sounds like the receiver is picking up some RF signal. But I have not had that problem.

I have had 2 of these without a problem. Could it be a garage door clicker in the neighbor hood?

If you didn't have a door bell working prior to buying this extender, then it won't work. It is meant to attach to the old unit and when the door bell is pressed, it sends a signal to the remote unit. If you had a working unit prior to buying the extender, then check your wiring.Mine works fine except the original unit plays at a volume lower than before and the extender is quite loud, which is fine for my use.

Maybe is defective cuz all you have to do is set the button on alarm, if the chime work, that means is installed in the rigth way. Make sure the alarm isnt on away mode

I don't think there is any chime or buzzer in it. Mine just shuts off Works great!

No issue for me. I get Jingle Bells all year long. Perhaps yours is defective.

Hi, It sounds like you had a power failure or lighting strike to the system. This happened to me and the alarm continued to sound-off. The only way to stop the alarm from ringing is to disconnect it from the main power source. Rotate the entire alarm counter-clockwise until it is unsecured from the base. There is a socket plug connector to the power source. Unplug. If this the only unit in the house that is sounding, it is defective and needs to be replaced.

Haven't had that issue. Sounds like a defective remote or something wrong with the unit itself which may not be receiving the signal from the remote because of some internal problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Sounds like you might have a bad one. I have 6 of these....no chirping since I installed them 6 months ago.

I never had that problem. Is the unit in the mail box set up right? It should beep when the door is open. the arrow should point up. there is also a reset button on the house unit. Sorry that all I can tell you.

Mine was the same way. I found a different solution by using a wireless chime. It was a lot of work. I rigged the button to connect to the wired chime. It only worked for one door. Not 2 doors like the extend a chime. But at least it could be heard. Sometimes this stuff doesn't work. What are you going to do?

Mine works but not very well - it dings with the door bell. I have it in my basement when someone goes to the front door it seems to work ok. Don't believe I could recommend it though.

Sounds a little like a standard doorbell "ding-dong" chime, but more electronicky(if that's a word lol). I've found that any direct sunlight causes false alarms.....finding the right spot/positioning is key to this product operating correctly.

Those are my sentiments exactly. I installed the alarm a little over a year ago and have looked around for something with a louder audible but have been unsuccessful in finding anything that will resolve the weak electronic chime that comes with the system. Maybe if the manufacturer gets enough requests for a louder more distinctive sound they will provide a replacement or at least market a chime that's louder

I have two, purchased at different times. I have had no problem hearing the chime with either one.

Mine responds from the next room only if there is little or no background noise. Even though it responds, it rarely gets the command I give it correctly. I hope it will learn over time. if not, it is just a gimmick.

K. I got this for a second house. I haven't been there since installed, but my nephew is saying that it is loud. Reach out 2/1, and I will give you an update.

I haven't tried it yet as I just got it today, but when i was setting the alarm there was a bell symbol and it was either normal or with a slash through it. my assumption is that when you select the slash though, the sounds will be muted.

Sorry I can't help you with your problem, but I bought the same one and most of the time I can't get it to ring at all! I've tried replacing the battery, several times and it doesn't help. I am very disappointed with this item. Maybe someone out there has a few answers for my problem?? I would not recommend this item to anyone. I was really looking forward to having the "Christmas chime" during the holidays too - what a disappointment! I've since taken it down. Plus the blue light is so dim you can hardly see it, and I live in an area that is pitch black at night which makes it even that much harder to see!
