I’ve Installed my Ring, but it Won’t Turn On
Install the Pro Power Kit
If you have not yet installed the included Pro Power Kit on your internal bell, your Ring
Video Doorbell Pro will not function correctly. For more information, see section 1.
Installing the Pro Power Kit.
Let it Charge
Ring Video Doorbell Pro contains a power cell which may need to charge before the
first use. If you complete the install process and your Ring Doorbell does not appear to
function, give it up to 30 minutes to charge and then try again.
The internal power cell is only for memory protection in the event of a power
outage. Your Ring Doorbell requires AC power to function.
Voltage Too Low
Ring Video Doorbell Pro is designed to work with the majority of standard doorbell
systems in the USA, so it expects to receive at least 16 volts of AC power. If your doorbell
system runs at a lower voltage (or runs on DC, rather than AC), your Ring Doorbell will not
function.
In this case, you’ll need to have an electrician install a new transformer to bring the
output up to 16 volts.
We recommend installing a 16 volt AC transformer that delivers ~30
VA for the best performance. To purchase a recommended
transformer for your Ring Video Doorbell Pro,

5. Troubleshooting
Bypassing your Internal Doorbell
If you’ve verified that your doorbell transformer supplies 16 volts AC at 30 VA, but you’re
still not getting enough power for your Ring Doorbell to function, you may need to
bypass your internal doorbell.
To do this:
1. Turn power off at the breaker.
2. Remove the cover from your internal doorbell and loosen
the “Front” and “Trans” terminal screws.
3. Remove the Pro Power Kit, and detach its wire harness.
4. Remove the protective decal from the Pro Power Kit to
expose the Bypass Mode wire terminals.
5. Detach the doorbell wires from the doorbell and
straighten the ends.
6. Firmly insert the doorbell wires into the Bypass Mode
holes on the Pro Power Kit, until they lock into place.
7. Replace the cover on your doorbell.
8. Turn the power back on.
9. In the Ring app, select your Ring Doorbell Pro.
Then select the gear-shaped icon, and set
Doorbell Type to None.
If you’ve bypassed your internal doorbell and still
desire an audible indoor chime, consider adding
a Ring Chime or Chime Pro to your system.
