Testing Your Ring Doorbell 3

If you notice a diode when you
remove your wired doorbell, take
note of this, as it means you will need
to use the included diode.
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.

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’ll be installing
your Ring Doorbell.
Snap the provided level onto the
mounting bracket and use it to
help position the bracket.
Then remove the orange tape, and
use the mounting bracket as a
template to mark the four
corner holes.
Installation 5

On wood or siding, you can skip this
step, and screw the bracket directly
into your wall.
Installation 6
On stucco, brick, or concrete install
the anchors using the provided drill bit
and a power drill before installing the
mounting bracket.
Use the phillips head side of the Ring
screwdriver for screwing in your
mounting bracket.

Installation 7
Use the phillips head side of the Ring
screwdriver for screwing in your
mounting bracket.

Installation 8
Drive the screws into the anchors, or
directly into your wall until they are
flush with the mounting
bracket, and the bracket
is flat
against your
wall.
If your wall is even slightly
uneven, be careful not to
screw the bracket in so tightly that
it bends.
