Wireless doorbells are available that allow you to install a doorbell and button without running wires. Many doorbells offer you the opportunity to change the chime tones. Currently, the chime tone on your wireless doorbell might only ding a one-note tune, or it might produce a ding-dong two-note tune. It could be capable of much more, though. Your doorbell might have other chime tones, such as an eight-note Westminster, or odd noises, such as a foghorn or gong. If your doorbell has this option, you can change the tones to something more entertaining.

Remove the decorative cover from your wireless chime by unsnapping it from the doorbell base. Some wireless doorbell brands are single-piece units that mount on the wall. If you have a single-piece wireless doorbell, remove it from the wall and turn it face down on your work surface.
Look for the pin-setting jumpers on the front of the door bell base, or look for a small door covering the jumpers on the back of the doorbell base you removed from the wall. The pin-setting jumpers are eight double pins, numbered one through eight, surrounded by jumpers that look like two U-shaped pieces of black plastic connected with a piece of metal. When you install a jumper around both pins, it creates an electrical connection. After you locate the pin-setting jumpers on the doorbell base, locate the pin-setting jumpers on the doorbell push button.
Push a small, slotted screwdriver into the small opening in the bottom of the doorbell push button. Push the screwdriver against the tab inside the opening. Lift the cover from the doorbell push button. Remove the battery from the doorbell push button to access the pin-setting jumpers.
Find the jumper pins numbered as seven, eight and nine. Note how the jumpers fit over both pins. Use needle-nose pliers to slide the jumpers off these pins on both the doorbell push button and the doorbell base. Slide one jumper back onto pin number eight, making sure the jumper slides over both of the number eight pins on the doorbell base. Slide one jumper onto pin number eight on the push button. Do not replace the jumpers on pins seven or nine. This will change the chime tone. Be aware, not all wireless doorbell brands will have the same jumper pin configuration to create different chime tones.
Experiment with different configurations of the three jumpers on both the doorbell button and the doorbell base until you are satisfied with the chime tone. For example, you can leave the jumpers off pins seven and eight, only placing a jumper onto pin nine to create a different tone. Make sure the jumper pins on the doorbell base and button match.
Snap the decorative cover over the wireless doorbell base or hang the single piece unit on the wall. Replace the battery in the doorbell button and snap on the cover.

Tip

Some wireless doorbells have a chime-tones select button on the face of the doorbell base. Push the button, and the chime tones sounds. Continue to push the button until you hear your desired chime tone, replace the cover and your chime tone is changed.
