Install your doorbell with a Plug-In Adapter
The Plug-In Adapter can be used when there is no existing doorbell wiring or the existing system is unusable.
Purchase a Plug-In Adapter for your doorbell.
1. Choose a socket
Select a power outlet near the door where you plan to install your doorbell.
Don't plug the Plug-In Adapter in yet.
2. Run the cable
Run the cable down from the outlet to your molding and then choose a path to your doorbell.
Secure the cable to the wall with the provided cable clips.
The cable can be run through your walls, or through a door or window if desired.
Always be careful of existing electrical wiring and pipes when drilling through walls.
3. Attach the wires
Attach the power cables to the terminals on the rear of your doorbell.
4. Install and set up your doorbell
Set "Doorbell Type" to "None" in the Ring app.
In the Ring app, select your doorbell, then tap the gear icon and select "Doorbell Kit Settings."
Select "None" and save your settings.
Do not skip this step or your doorbell might get damaged.
5. Plug in the Plug-In Adapter
The front light on your doorbell should illuminate to indicate that it's powered properly.
If your doorbell has never been set up, the front light will sin, indicating that your doorbell has entered setup mode.
6. Test your doorbell
7. Connect a Ring Chime or Ring Chime Pro (optional)
You can connect an Alexa-enabled device, Ring Chime or Ring Chime Pro to your doorbell, if you'd still like an internal chime as well as notifications through your phone.
The Ring Chime plugs into any standard power socket and works with your doorbell to let you know when you have a visitor even if your phone is in the other room.
