Product Information
Full details
This Byron SX8i Wirefree vibrating chime kit is ideal for individuals seeking discreet or supplementary doorbell notifications, such as those with hearing impairments or in noisy environments. Its key benefit is the dual alert system combining audible chimes with vibration. A potential caveat is its reliance on battery power for both the push button and chime unit.

FAQs
How do I change the chime sound?
Press the sound selection button on the chime unit repeatedly until you hear the desired tone. Refer to the user manual for the exact location of this button.
What type of batteries does the SX8i use?
The chime unit typically uses AA or AAA batteries, and the push button uses a specific coin cell battery. Please consult your product manual for the exact battery types required.
How far can the wireless signal travel?
The wireless transmission range can vary depending on environmental factors. Typically, it is effective within a standard home, but thick walls or large metal objects can reduce the effective range. Consult the product manual for the specified range.
Can I add more push buttons to this chime unit?
This specific model (SX8i) is generally designed for one push button. Consult the product manual or Byron's support for information on expandability if available for this model.
Is the push button waterproof?
The push button is designed for outdoor use but may not be fully waterproof. It is generally weather-resistant. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or direct spraying.
How often should I replace the batteries?
Battery life varies based on usage and battery quality. The low battery indicator will alert you when replacement is needed. It's good practice to replace batteries annually or when the indicator lights up.
Troubleshooting
Chime does not sound or vibrate when the button is pressed
Check battery levels in both the push button and chime unit. Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with proper polarity. Re-pair the push button with the chime unit according to the setup instructions. Verify that the units are within the wireless transmission range.
Low battery indicator is constantly on
Replace the batteries in the chime unit and/or the push button immediately with fresh, high-quality batteries.
Intermittent signal or delayed chime
Check for potential sources of wireless interference (e.g., thick walls, metal objects, other wireless devices). Try repositioning the chime unit or push button. Ensure batteries are fresh.
Volume is too low or too high
Adjust the volume control on the chime unit to your desired level. Ensure the volume control is not set to the lowest setting.
