Chime Selection - Two banks of DIP switches (Chime Selection 1 and Chime selection 2) provide in¬
dependent selection of all the available chimes. The lowest number DIP switch takes priority if more
than one switch is selected. The table below identifies the selectable chime for each DIP switch.

Standard Chime Recommended for a Front Door
2 Westminster Chime Recommended for a Front Door
3 Standard Chime Recommended for a Rear Door

None Recorded Custom Chime
Recording a Custom Chime - A mono analog audio signal can be recorded by the DBI-1 to create a
Custom Chime. Analog audio signals to be recorded connect to the Audio Input. Stereo audio signals
can be adapted to mono using an RCA “Y” Adapter Cable.
The DBI-1 was designed to record a Custom Chime at the same volume as the selectable chimes
when recording the output of a typical CD player (@ 2V RMS). The record level for a Custom Chime
must be adjusted externally at the audio source. Some trial and error will be required to obtain an
exact volume match between a recordable Custom Chime and a selectable chime.

RECORDING AN ACTIVE AUDIO SIGNAL
1. Press the record button to begin recording the audio signal (the recording starts
immediately and the record LED flashes red).
2. The recording process will end after 12 seconds (when it is complete, the record LED
turns off). Pressing the record button anytime before the 12 seconds have elapsed
also ends the recording (the record LED turns off).
RECORDING A PAUSED AUDIO SIGNAL
1. Press the record button while there is no audio signal present at the audio input. This
causes the DBI-1 to go into a record standby mode (the record LED lights solid red).
2. Activate the audio input signal. The recording will begin the moment an audio signal is
sensed (the record LED flashes red).
3. The recording process will end after 12 seconds (when it is complete, the record LED
turns off). Pressing the record button anytime before the 12 seconds have elapsed
also ends the recording (the record LED turns off).
