Do they still come with drill bits and levels? I dont see one in the box we got for Christmas.
Would be good if they showed how to test the voltage, amps etc with a multimeter.

How do you check for the right voltage specs of old doorbell

So I just got my gen2 Ring but didn’t get the provided drill bit. What it suppose to come with a drill bit?

[tkdman]

Those wires that you connect to the screws and then tighten to make sure it’s secure and anchored to the unit... when you press the button does that sound the doorbell in your home or...?

Are the hole location for bracket the same as the first generation? Just curious because I want to replace my first gen.

[robertforbes]

Do I have to charge the unit first if I'm going to use the doorbell wires?

[boider]

Once you install will i still need to recharge this ring again?

I installed a Ringdoorbell 2 about 2 years ago ... it is hardwired to my previous doorbell wires. It worked great for the first few months but then it just stops working. About every 3 months or so I have to check settings under device health, it says hardwired, it says status is at 100%, but nothing. I have not changed my password ... my modem and router are working fine ... but nothing since Thanksgiving day. I tried the hard reset ... the with light comes on then the blue lights flash ... still does not work. I have taken the battery out and connected to the orange wire provided ... it says it is charging ... so what is the point of having the thing hardwired if I have to continuously take the battery out and charge it. Kind of defeats the purpose of the hardwire. What is going wrong with this thing ... is it just a faulty system or am I doing something wrong.

My batter is at 3% and for days it hasn’t increased i turned off all features and still doesn’t increase shld I take it out the mount and wire and charge it?

[orlandojohnson]

I'm seeing some comments asking do u have to periodically USB charge after its hard wired!?

I'd imagine that's jus the initial start up process.

And once you (where the doorbell button was) wire into the existing door chime with transformer... it will also make the door chime sound when u push the ring button!

The 2 wires(usually red & white) will keep the ring powered up!
8-24 volts AC

Also ask yourself do you think they would design this product where you'd have to take off the wall again so you can recharge with USB!! Should be one & done....
Move to the APP process & try to enjoy.

I connected it with my existing doorbell hardwire. I don't hear the bell anymore. This was the same issue I had.

Is there a difference between the 2020 and the gen 2 ? Bought a gen 2 faceplate, will it fit on my 2020 release doorbell?

[brianhuynh]

If I hardwire the ring doorbell when the button gets pressed will the sound come from the same box as my old doorbell.

[Coolguy-nynl]

I did.not.get the drill bit with the package? Anyone

[bubbyradio]

My home has no doorbell.. What model do you recommend for me?

[riccilomeli]

do you have to charge it often or is that just a one time thing when you purchase it?

[thonchaiyangywjpheej]

Thanks! Now I know how to Wired my doorbell!

[ugcbriank]

Is a wirewound resistor needed if wiring through a mechanical chime?

[jacoblimon]

Question.. how do I get my doorbell inside the house to work with this? I set up my RING but now my doorbell inside doesn't work. Help!

[Shivams]

You forgot we have to change the settings to mechanical chime type before the in home door bell chime rings
