    How to fix a Heath Zenith SL-6157 chime that doesn't work after installation?

      If your Heath Zenith Extender chime doesn't work after installation, even with a seemingly good battery, consider these points: 1. Avoid mounting the transmitter on metal or near metal studs, as this can reduce the transmitter range. If necessary, use 1/4" to 1/2" (6 to 13 mm) wood shims to move the transmitter away from the metal surface. 2. Attach the microphone directly to the existing chime case, close to the ringing part (but not on it). 3. Try moving the chime closer to the transmitter.
