Powering Your Ring

Charge your Ring Doorbell
before installation using the
supplied orange cable.

While charging, the circular
light on the front of your
Ring will let you know the
percentage it’s charged.

If you have an existing doorbell Ring

can run off its existing power supply
for a continuous charge (see step 6).

Step 2

Perform the in-app setup

The Ring app will walk you through
this process.

Download the Ring app by visiting

ring.com/app

Step 3

Push the front button to test video

While inside near your router, push
the button on the front of your
doorbell to see live video in the Ring
app. Then, perform this same test

while outside.

Step 4

Remove your existing
doorbell (optional)

If you’re replacing a wired doorbell,
first turn off the power at the breaker.
Then, remove your doorbell from the
wall, and disconnect the wires.

Step 5

Install the mounting bracket

Take everything that came in the
box (along with a power drill if
you’re installing on stucco, brick or

concrete), to the spot where you’re

installing your Ring Doorbell.

Installing the mounting bracket
(continued)

On stucco, brick or concrete, install
the anchors using the provided drill
bit and a power drill before installing
the mounting bracket.

Setup & Installation

NOTE: Ring is not compatible with
most intercom systems.

If you DON’T have an existing
doorbell Ring can run off its built

in battery and last 6-12 months
between charges.

If you receive frequent motion
events, you may need to charge
your Ring more frequently.

extra help

We also have an online guide with
videos and tutorials to help you set
up and use your Ring Video Doorbell.

Visit: ring.com/setup

Tap the plus sign in the Ring app to
set up a new device, and select Video

Doorbell when prompted.

Perform in-app setup near
your router. You’ll need your

network name and Wi-Fi password.

If video quality is not as good
outdoors as it was indoors, you

may need to move your router closer

to your door or invest in a Wi-Fi
extender.

If your existing doorbell has

a diode, you’ll need to use
the diode included with your Ring
Doorbell for installation.

Mounting
Bracket

Snap the provided level onto the
mounting bracket, and align the
bracket accordingly.

Then, remove the orange tape, and
use the mounting bracket as a
template to mark four corner holes
for your screws.

On wood or siding, you can skip this
part and screw the bracket directly
onto your wall.

If you have one, it may help to
use a smaller drill bit to drill

pilot holes first.

Installing the mounting bracket
(continued)

Drive the screws into the anchors
or directly into the wall until they’re
flush with the mounting
bracket and the bracket
is flat against the wall.

If the wall isn’t flat,

make sure you don’t
screw the bracket in so
tightly that it bends.

Step 6

Connect the wires (optional)

Connect the wires coming out of
your wall to the screws on the
bracket. Note that it doesn’t matter

which wire connects to which screw.

The wiring must be connected

to a transformer with a voltage
of 8VAC – 24VAC and an internal
doorbell or resistor.

DC transformers and (therefore)
most intercoms are not supported.

How and when to
use the diode

If your doorbell is digital (i.e. plays a
melody), attach the included diode to
the two screws on your bracket.

If it’s mechanical (i.e. goes “ding­dong”), DO NOT use the diode.

If you have a digital doorbell,
connecting the diode the wrong way
won’t do any harm. If your doorbell
doesn’t ring, just reverse the diode.

Step 7

Attach Ring Doorbell to the bracket

Line up the holes in your Ring
Doorbell with the slots on the
bracket. Push firmly towards the wall

and then down until you feel a click.

First, make sure the

security screws are

loose.

Step 8

Secure your Ring Doorbell

Use the star-shaped end of your Ring
screwdriver to tighten the security

screws on the bottom of

your Ring Doorbell.

Then, restore
power at the
breaker.
