Install the ADC-VDB755P

1. If replacing existing doorbell hardware, turn off power to the doorbell circuit (transformer). 2. If installing with an existing chime, remove any existing power modules from the chime. Verify that the chime wire terminals are connected to one wire run from the transformer and one wire run from the doorbell. 3. If replacing an existing doorbell, remove the doorbell from the wall and disconnect the wires.

Note: If you are using the chime, secure the wires so they can be connected in a later step. If you are not using the chime, cap the wires to safely seal and tuck away.

  1. Separate the main assembly from the wall mount assembly.
