In case of emergency, Panic Button can be used
to signal your Ring Alarm Base Station to sound its
siren. If you’re subscribed to Ring Protect Plus, our
24/7 professional monitoring center is notified and
emergency responders can be dispatched.*
Before you proceed...
The Panic Button can trigger an alarm as soon as you
add it to your system. To prevent false alarms, continue
with setup only when ready.
* For more info on Ring Protect Plus and 24/7 professional monitoring, visit
ring.com/protect-plans.
If you’ve recently set up a Ring Alarm, professional monitoring won’t be
available until after the seven-day Practice Mode runs out.

Say hello to your
Ring Panic Button.
How it looks... How it works...
To signal your Ring Alarm, press and hold the
Panic Button for 3 seconds. The LED ring will
turn blue.

As the Panic Button signals your Base Station, the LED
ring will rapidly pulse blue.
Once your Panic Button successfully signals
your Alarm, the LED will alternate between red
and blue five times.
The siren will sound and, if subscribed to Ring Protect
Plus, we will notify the monitoring center and
emergency responders may be dispatched.
2.
Set up your
Panic Button
in the Ring app.
Begin the setup process near your
Ring Alarm Base Station.
In the Ring app, tap Set Up a Device.
Choose Security Devices, then Base Station,
then Ring Panic Button, and tap Add Device.
To complete the setup process, follow the
in-app instructions.
When prompted, scan the QR Code
or enter the PIN.
This begins the pairing process.
The QR Code and PIN are on the back of your
Panic Button and in the product packaging.

When prompted, pull out the clear tab.
Choose a location.
3.
This turns the Panic Button on. Your Base Station then
finds it automatically.
The Panic Button can trigger an alarm as soon
as you add it to your system. If pressed, it will
immediately trigger your Alarm.
As the Panic Button pairs to your Base Station, its LED
ring will blink. Once it pairs, the LED glows blue for
three seconds.
If the Panic Button does not pair successfully, the LED
ring glows red. To try the pairing process again, remove
and reinstall the battery inside the Panic Button.

Install your
Panic Button.
You can place your Panic Button just about anywhere
inside your home. You may want to put it on a desk in
your office, or mount it on a wall in your bedroom. You
can even put it in the bathroom, but be sure not to get
it wet.
Also, verify it’s close enough to connect with your Base
Station. (We’ll explain how to test your connection on
the next page.)
Preventing false alarms.
Wherever you put your Panic Button, just be sure
to place it somewhere that it won’t be triggered
accidentally, especially out of reach of small
children and pets. And don’t put it in a drawer - it’s
more likely to get pressed and trigger a false alarm.
Test your Panic Button’s connection.
Now that you’ve picked a spot, you should test your
Panic Button’s connection with the Base Station.
To do so, simply press the Setup button located on the
side of the device. Don’t worry, the test will not set off
your Alarm.
When Base Station has detected the signal from Panic
Button, the LED will blink blue. If it blinks red, your Panic
Button cannot signal your Base Station. Try the test
again. You may find that repositioning the Panic Button
(even just a few inches) can improve reception.
If it still cannot connect, try installing
a Ring Range Extender between the
Panic Button and your Base Station.
Setup button
Secure the mounting bracket and mount
Panic Button.
Once you’ve decided on a location, secure the
mounting bracket with either the included screws
or the double-sided tape.
Place Panic Button on the bracket posts, then slide
to lock it in place.
When mounting on drywall, pre-drill the
holes and insert the included anchors.

Additional
information.
How to replace the battery:
If you get a “Low Battery” notification in the app, it’s
time to replace the battery. Twist the lid on your Panic
Button counter-clockwise and lift to remove. Replace
the battery with a new CR123A cell. The Panic Button
then reconnects to your Base Station automatically.
Place the lid back on the Panic Button, taking care to
line up the semi-circle on the rim of the lid with the
“open” semi-circle on the base. Twist the lid clockwise
to lock it in.
How to remove Panic Button from your
system:
Open the side menu in the Ring app and tap Devices,
then Base Station. Select your Panic Button and tap the
gear-shaped icon. Then tap Remove Device.
When prompted, open the Panic Button and remove
and reinstall the battery to complete the removal.
Having trouble with your Panic Button?
If your Panic Button stops working or will not connect
(even with a good battery), try a factory reset.
To do this, press and hold the Setup button for 10
seconds. When the LED ring stops blinking, your Panic
Button has reset.
A factory reset disconnects the Panic Button
from your Ring Alarm. To begin using the Panic
Button again, repeat the setup process in the
Ring app.

Failed to

Because the signal failed, the siren will not sound. Even if
you’ve subscribed to Ring Protect Plus, the monitoring center
and emergency responders will not be notified. Remember, in
an emergency, calling 9-1-1 is a safe option.
