When the illuminated bell push is operated, very dim / no light appears on the push.

Check the power supply. You should use a 16V 10VA transformer connection for an illuminated push.

R26; Check that the wiring is done correctly according to step 4, using minimum 20AWG wire.

If using batteries:

R26; Check that the batteries are the correct type, LR14 'C' cells. Only use alkaline batteries.

R26; Check that the batteries are fitted correctly (with correct polarity).

R26; Check that batteries are not too low.

The chime does not sound...

R26; Check that the volume control is not at the minimum setting.
