Installation: what UK buyers need to know
Powered by a removable Quick Release Battery Pack (recharged by Micro-USB), so you can take the battery inside to charge while the doorbell stays on the wall. It can also be wired to an 8–24 V AC doorbell transformer (40 VA max) for trickle charging and to ring an existing chime. A corner kit is included for awkward door frames. If the installation needs new mains wiring or a new transformer, use a qualified electrician.
