I hate to admit it, but I get distracted easily. With two kids running around at home, my door chimes don’t get much rest - and that can mean a lot of distraction for Dad!
So you can probably imagine how happy I was to discover that I can easily adjust door chime volume - and tons of other Base Station settings - using my keychain remote.
