Step 3: Prepare the Installation Area
If you’re mounting the doorbell on a wall, make sure the area is clean and free of any obstructions. If the surface is painted or wallpapered, consider removing the doorbell cover to avoid damaging the wall.

If your Ring battery doorbell comes with a chime, connect the doorbell to the chime using the included wire. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper wiring and connection.
Step 7: Power on the Doorbell
Press the “Power” button on the doorbell to turn it on. The doorbell should now be functioning. Test the doorbell by pressing the button on the doorbell or using your smartphone app to ensure it’s working correctly.
Step 8: Position the Doorbell
Adjust the position of the doorbell to ensure it is centered and properly aligned with the mounting bracket. If necessary, use the included screws to tighten the doorbell and secure it in place.
Step 9: Install the Chime (if applicable)
If you’re using a chime, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install and position it in a suitable location. Ensure the chime is powered on and functioning correctly.
Step 10: Test the Doorbell Again
Once you’ve completed the installation, test the doorbell one more time to ensure it’s working as expected. Press the button on the doorbell or use your smartphone app to confirm that the doorbell and chime are functioning correctly.
