How Does Ring Doorbell Connect to Existing Doorbell?

To connect your Ring Doorbell to an existing doorbell:
1. Remove the faceplate from your current doorbell and note which wires are connected to which terminals. You’ll need this information when reconnecting the wires to your Ring Doorbell.
2. Unscrew the two screws that hold your current doorbell in place and remove it from the wall.
3. Connect the appropriate wires from your current doorbell to the matching terminals on yourRing Doorbell according to the wiring diagram included in the instructions manual.
4. Screw your Ring Doorbell into place and reattach the faceplate (if applicable).
5 That’s it!
Your Ring Doorbell is now connected and ready to use!
Why is My Ring Doorbell Not Ringing Inside My House?
There are a few reasons your Ring Doorbell might not be ringing inside your house when someone presses the button. The most likely reason is that the volume on your doorbell is turned all the way down. To check the volume, open the Ring app and go to Devices > Doorbells.
Then, select your doorbell and scroll down to Volume. If the slider is all the way to the left, that means it’s off and you’ll need to turn it up in order to hear it inside your home.
Another possibility is that your chime box, which is what actually makes the ringing noise, isn’t properly connected to your doorbell.
This could be because of loose wires or because the power supply isn’t plugged in correctly. To check this, open up your chime box (it should be located near where your front door is) and make sure everything looks secure and plugged in correctly.
If neither of these solutions solves the problem, then there may be something wrong with either your Doorbell or Chime unit itself and you’ll need to contact customer support for further assistance.
