hello 

I have the above alarm all working fine except for the doorbell which is the Exit Terminate button in day mode. it’s says in the user manual, quote:

Turning the Chime On/Off
Your system may be programmed so that a chime tone sounds whenever certain doors are opened while the system is unset. If your system has an Exit Terminate button, then it will act as a door bell while Chime is on. To turn Chime on or off:
1. Key in your access code. The display shows "_ _ "
2. Press 7 followed by y (Clear).

I have tried this and it doesn’t work, is there a programming feature in E mode that I’m missing?...

I’ve just re set the whole system in E mode and added the chime function to zone 1 (final exit zone) and have a brand new battery and all is working perfectly except for this one feature.. plz Help 
Many thanks 
Clare
 

Is the exit terminate button actually wired in? They havent been a requirement for some time now, and if the monitoring was removed at any time the ET button was possibly disconnected at the same time.

Try setting the alarm without using the ET if it sets then you have your answer

Button broke its probably been passed 1000s of times, try shorting the wires on the button together to see if it chimes.

I agree it's most likely the button not the controls. ET on a 9800 would be wired to the keypad IIRC
