Smoke and CO notifications for
Ring Alarm.
Ring Smoke/CO Listener is a smart sound
sensor for Ring Alarm. It does not sense
smoke or CO directly. Instead, it adds
smart features to your UL listed smoke,
CO, or smoke & CO alarm.
When your smoke or CO alarm begins
to sound, the Listener activates and Ring
Alarm notifies you of the issue. If your
system is professionally monitored, our
monitoring center is also notified.
Is your smoke or CO alarm ready?
Your new Listener depends on the
proper functioning of your smoke or
CO alarm. Smoke and CO alarms have
finite lifespans and some require regular
battery changes. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines.

When prompted, press the test button
on your smoke or CO alarm. If you’re not
sure where it is, check the instructions.
The Ring app will tell you when your
Listener has detected the smoke or CO
signal from your alarm. If your alarm is a
smoke/CO combo, both smoke and CO
signals should be detected.
If your Listener is unable to
detect the signal, your
Ring Alarm cannot
monitor your
smoke or CO alarm.
This may mean your
alarm is too old and
must be replaced.
Line up the mounting bracket.
Find a place for the bracket within six
inches (15.25 cm) of your smoke or CO
alarm. You can use the ruler below to
make sure.
Position the mounting bracket so that
the arrow marked Smoke/CO Alarm This
Side points directly at your smoke or CO
alarm.
Secure the mounting bracket
and mount the Listener.
Once you’ve decided on a location,
secure the bracket to your ceiling or wall
with the included screws.
Place the Listener on the bracket posts,
then slide to lock it in place.
How to replace the battery:
Twist the lid on your Listener counter-
clockwise and lift to remove. Replace
the battery with a fresh CR123A cell. The
Listener then reconnects to your Alarm
Base Station automatically.
Place the lid back on the Listener, 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 Ring Smoke/CO
Listener from your system:
Open the side menu in the Ring app and
tap Devices, then Base Station. Next,
select your Listener and tap the gear-
shaped icon. Then tap Remove Device.
When prompted, open the Listener
and remove and reinstall the battery to
complete the removal.
Having trouble with your Listener?
If your Listener 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 Listener has reset.
During the setup process, the Ring app
prompts you to press the “Test” button on
your smoke or CO alarm. Mount the Listener
on its bracket before testing your alarm.
When mounting on drywall, pre-drill the
holes and insert the included anchors.
This process disconnects the Listener from
Ring Alarm. To begin using the Listener again,
repeat the setup process in the Ring app.
Install your Listener first.
Then, test it.
During the setup process, the Ring app
will prompt you to test your new Smoke/

So, be sure to install your Listener before
you proceed with the testing step.

Having trouble with your Listener?
If your Listener 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 Listener has reset.
During the setup process, the Ring app
prompts you to press the “Test” button on
your smoke or CO alarm. Mount the Listener
on its bracket before testing your alarm.
When mounting on drywall, pre-drill the
holes and insert the included anchors.
This process disconnects the Listener from
Ring Alarm. To begin using the Listener again,
repeat the setup process in the Ring app.
Install your Listener first.
Then, test it.
During the setup process, the Ring app
will prompt you to test your new Smoke/
CO Listener.
This test depends on the Listener being
installed next to your smoke or CO alarm,
so it can reliably hear its alarm signals.
So, be sure to install your Listener before
you proceed with the testing step.

Do not paint this device!
Painting your Listener can prevent it from
functioning correctly.
Painting smoke or CO alarms can
degrade their performance as well,
and is strongly discouraged.

Test your Listener.
Now, it’s time to head back to the Ring
app and go through the testing process.
When prompted, press the test button
on your smoke or CO alarm. If you’re not
sure where it is, check the instructions.
The Ring app will tell you when your
Listener has detected the smoke or CO
signal from your alarm. If your alarm is a
smoke/CO combo, both smoke and CO
signals should be detected.
If your Listener is unable to
detect the signal, your
Ring Alarm cannot
monitor your
smoke or CO alarm.
This may mean your
alarm is too old and
must be replaced.
Line up the mounting bracket.
Find a place for the bracket within six
inches (15.25 cm) of your smoke or CO
alarm. You can use the ruler below to
make sure.
Position the mounting bracket so that
the arrow marked Smoke/CO Alarm This
Side points directly at your smoke or CO
alarm.
Secure the mounting bracket
and mount the Listener.
Once you’ve decided on a location,
secure the bracket to your ceiling or wall
with the included screws.
Place the Listener on the bracket posts,
then slide to lock it in place.
How to replace the battery:
Twist the lid on your Listener counter-
clockwise and lift to remove. Replace
the battery with a fresh CR123A cell. The
Listener then reconnects to your Alarm
Base Station automatically.
Place the lid back on the Listener, 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 Ring Smoke/CO
Listener from your system:
Open the side menu in the Ring app and
tap Devices, then Base Station. Next,
select your Listener and tap the gear-
shaped icon. Then tap Remove Device.
