Video Doorbell E340 Battery Setup and Chime 2 Pairing

Battery mode makes the E340 a true wireless doorbell

The eufy Video Doorbell E340 (Battery Powered) with Chime 2 is designed for flexible installation. In battery mode, you can mount it without any wiring, thanks to the quick-release battery pack. This guide walks you through the physical setup and the Chime 2 pairing so you can get alerts throughout your home.

Before you start, note that the E340 can also run in wired mode, but that requires the battery to remain installed and a power source connected with 8 to 24V and >10VA. For a purely wireless install, stick with battery mode.

Step-by-step: battery setup and Chime 2 pairing

Follow these steps in order. The exact in-app screens may vary, but the sequence reflects the supported setup for the E340 and Chime 2.

1. Charge the battery pack fully: Use the provided charging method to fully charge the quick-release battery pack before first use. A full charge ensures uninterrupted setup.
2. Insert the battery into the doorbell: Slide the charged battery pack into the doorbell until it clicks into place. The doorbell will power on.
3. Mount the doorbell (optional at this stage): You can mount the doorbell now or after pairing. For battery mode, no wiring is needed. Choose a location with a clear view of your doorstep.
4. Open the eufy Security app and add the doorbell: In the app, select 'Add Device' and choose the Video Doorbell E340. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect the doorbell to your Wi-Fi network.
5. Power on the Chime 2 and put it in pairing mode: Plug in the Chime 2 near your router or in a central location. Press and hold the pairing button until the LED flashes, indicating pairing mode.
6. Pair the Chime 2 in the app: Return to the eufy Security app and follow the prompts to pair the Chime 2 with your doorbell. The app will guide you through the process.
7. Test the doorbell and chime: Press the doorbell button. You should hear the Chime 2 ring and receive a notification on your phone. Adjust the chime volume and tone in the app settings.

What the dual cameras add to your setup

The E340's dual-camera design gives you two perspectives: a front-facing camera for people and a downward-facing camera that fills in the gaps with a view of the floor in front of your door. This can help you see packages or visitors more clearly. The 2K Full HD clarity reveals more details, and color night vision provides a clear view up to 16ft (5m) in low light.

Key specs for your E340 setup

• Video Doorbell E340 (Battery Powered) with Chime 2: Note: Not compatible with the original eufy Wi-Fi Chime (T8020) or eufy Chime (T8740/T8742). The included Chime 2 is the compatible chime; older eufy chimes won't work with the E340.
• Video Doorbell E340 (Battery Powered) with Chime 2: Pair with a Chime to Hear Alerts Throughout Your Home: Can connect with your existing chime, or pair with eufy HomeBase S280, eufy HomeBase S380, eufy Minibase Chime (T8023), Alexa devices, and Google Voice Assistant devices. You have options beyond the Chime 2 for extending alerts, but the Chime 2 is included and pairs directly.

Troubleshooting common pairing issues

If the Chime 2 doesn't pair, ensure it's within range of your Wi-Fi router and that the doorbell and chime are on the same network. Restart both devices and try again. If you have an older eufy chime, remember it's not compatible with the E340.
