This customer used the ERA-UTDCR long-range wireless doorbell kit, with the DH920 buzzer wired into the ‘C’ relays on the back of the receiver. The push-button was mounted outside the cage. The buzzer receiver was placed inside the cage. When pushed, the push button triggered a wireless signal sent to the receiver, activating the buzzer sound.

Dad had walked miles to a train station and was trying to go somewhere.

If you home was wired for a wired doorbell, you went that route because wireless doorbells and chimes were, frankly, ugle things.

    In smaller homes, range may not have been an issue, you may have wanted features only contained with wireless devices, and therefore, wireless was your choice. Today, the lines have blurred. Wireless devices now have strong reliable signalling capability and in many cases are as pretty as their wired counterparts. Many wired doorbells are packed with features historically seen in wireless chimes. That makes your decision tougher.
