Set up and use your Ring Alarm Keypad
Your Ring Alarm Keypad gives you hands-on control of Ring Alarm. It’s used to arm and disarm your Ring Alarm system when you’re inside your home or business.
Keypad features:
- Mounting: You can mount the Keypad on a wall or place it on a table near a door you use often.
- Power: It connects to power using the included USB power supply and cable, but you can use it plugged in or unplugged. It takes a few hours to charge the internal rechargeable battery, and it should last for about 7 months, depending on usage.
- Siren: The Ring Alarm Keypad acts as a second siren that sounds when your Ring Alarm is triggered.
- Chirps: Enable chirp tones in the app under the keypad device page to hear when a sensor is triggered

Where should I avoid using a Keypad?
- Don’t use it outdoors or in environments with extreme hot or cold temperatures.
- Don’t use inside detached garages, warehouses or sheds. Alarm devices should always be used in the same building as the Base Station.
