Download the Ring app. 2. Scan the QR code. 3. Remove protective film. 4. Fully charge the battery. 5. Choose a location for your doorbell. Install your doorbell without connecting to an existing chime: 6a. Install the mounting bracket. Then, attach your doorbell to the bracket. On stucco, brick, or concrete, use a ¼ in (6 mm) masonry bit to drill holes for the included wall anchors. 7a. Press until you hear a click to secure. Install your doorbell and connect to an existing chime 6b. Shut off power at the breaker. CAUTION! You’ll be working with electrical wires during the install process. If you are uncomfortable or inexperienced with doing so, consult with a licensed electrician. Do not wire your Ring Doorbell to a DC-powered intercom system. 7b. Install the mounting bracket.
