Installation - Do's and Don'ts 

When installing the Clare Video Doorbell (CVD) v3, make sure you pay attention to the do's and don'ts. 

Don'ts 

  • Don't enable smart phone's "Do not disturb".  When enabled it will prevent the Stay Connected to network pop-up which prevents CVD v3 installation. 
  • Don't arbitrarily select a chime type.  Ensure that the chime type is consistent actual installed chime.  If you select the wrong chime type, the doorbell will not chime and may cause damage to the CVD v3.
  • Don't forget to enroll the doorbell. 
  • Don't connect more than 1 CVD v3  to a chime circuit. 

Do's

  • Do save the verification code for the homeowner. 
  • Do save the box and all contents, including tools and extra faceplace for the homeowner.
  • During doorbell installation, your phone connects to the doorbell's broadcasted network.
    That network does not have internet, so the smartphone may ask if you want to stay connected to that network. Tap Yes
  • Do make sure that your app and iOS/Android versions are up to date. 
  • Do verify that power is turned off before wiring the doorbell. 
  • Do verify the signal strength where the doorbell will be installed. 
  • Do always install the power kit.
  • Do wait 30 minutes for the doorbell chime to power up before thinking that there is a chime issue. 
  • Do install the fuse when no chime is installed. 
  • Do ensure that only one CVD v3 is connected to a chime. 

General Need to Know
