Doorbell Elite

Welcome
Congratulations on your new Ring Video 
Doorbell Elite.
Ring Doorbell is the foundation of the Ring of 
Security around your home. 
We hope your Ring Doorbell brings you an 
increased sense of security and convenience, 
as well as the joy that comes from being 
able to connect with visitors when you’re not 
home.
Hi,
I’m Rochelle, a Ring Community Support Agent in 
Arizona. I’ve set up so many Ring Doorbells, I can 
probably do it in my sleep!
We’ve included all the tools you need, so setting it up by 
yourself should be a breeze. If you run into any problems, 
my colleagues and I can help. Just give us a call.
Don’t feel like calling? Check out our online Help 
Center at ring.com/help.

where you’re installing your Ring Elite, skip the 
next couple of steps and screw it directly into that 
junction box.
If you don’t have a junction box, trace the outline of 
the supplied template, then cut a rectangular hole 
in your wall to make room for the Elite Mounting 
Bracket.

The wing clamps will rotate as the screws turn and 
lock the bracket into your wall.

be set up in the Ring app.

Left Flashing White indicates a 
possible issue with your internet 
connection. Unplug your modem/
router for 40 seconds, plug it back 
in and then repeat setup. 
Spinning White indicates that 
your Ring Doorbell is in setup 
mode. You’ll need to follow the 
instructions in the Ring app. When 
prompted,  connect to the Wi-Fi 
network being broadcast by your 
Ring Doorbell.
Nothing If the front light is not 
illuminated at all, check the 
connections to your Elite Power Kit, 
since it is likely that a cable is not 
connected.
Why can’t I find the temporary Ring network 
on my phone?
Sometimes your phone fails to pick up the 
temporary Ring network. If this happens, go 
to your phone settings, turn off your Wi-Fi 
connection, wait 30 seconds and turn it back 
on. If the Ring network still fails to appear, check 
the connections to your Elite Power Kit, and 
ensure your Ring Doorbell is in setup mode.
If none of the above 
helped…
Perform a hard reset on your Ring Doorbell by 
holding down the setup button for 15 seconds, 
waiting 30 seconds and repeating the setup 
process.
Turn off cellular data and bluetooth on your 
mobile device and try again. 
Try performing setup on a different mobile 
device.

I’m having trouble 
completing the in-app setup
Ethernet Setup
If you selected Ethernet Setup during the in-
app setup, see the following tips.
Why did my ethernet setup fail? 
Check to see that all your wires are securely 
connected and try again. Check to see that your 
Ring Doorbell has power by making sure that 
the light on the front is glowing. Make sure that 
your Elite Power Kit is connected correctly - with 
the ethernet cable plugged into the proper In 
and Out ports, and the power adapter plugged 
in and connected to a power outlet.
Wi-Fi Setup
I still can’t set setup to complete. What now?
When prompted to choose your connection 
type in the app during setup, select Wi-Fi, and 
see if that works.
I’m having trouble with Wi-Fi setup
When Wi-Fi setup fails, look at the front of your 
Ring Doorbell. The light indicates the issue. 
Top Flashing White means your 
Wi-Fi password was entered 
incorrectly. Select your Wi-Fi 
network in your phone settings, 
select the option to forget it, 
then reconnect to it again to 
confirm that you’re using the 
correct password during setup.
Right Flashing White means 
your Ring Doorbell may be 
too far from your router to 
get a decent signal. If you are 
unable to connect Ring Elite via 
ethernet, then you may need to 
get a Chime Pro to boost the Wi-
Fi signal to your Ring Doorbell.
