Installation Instructions

Test your Panic Button’s connection.
Now that you’ve picked a spot, you should test your
Panic Button’s connection with the Base Station.
To do so, simply press the Setup button located on the
side of the device. Don’t worry, the test will not set off
your Alarm.
When Base Station has detected the signal from Panic
Button, the LED will blink blue. If it blinks red, your Panic
Button cannot signal your Base Station. Try the test
again. You may find that repositioning the Panic Button
(even just a few inches) can improve reception.
Choose a location.
You can place your Panic Button just about anywhere
inside your home. You may want to put it on a desk in
your office, or mount it on a wall in your bedroom. You
can even put it in the bathroom, but be sure not to get
it wet.
Also, verify it’s close enough to connect with your Base
Station. (We’ll explain how to test your connection on
the next page.)
Preventing false alarms.
Wherever you put your Panic Button, just be sure
to place it somewhere that it won’t be triggered
accidentally, especially out of reach of small
children and pets. And don’t put it in a drawer - it’s
more likely to get pressed and trigger a false alarm.
Secure the mounting bracket and mount
Panic Button.
Once you’ve decided on a location, secure the
mounting bracket with either the included screws
or the double-sided tape.
Place Panic Button on the bracket posts, then slide
to lock it in place.
How to replace the battery:
If you get a “Low Battery” notification in the app, it’s
time to replace the battery. Twist the lid on your Panic
Button counter-clockwise and lift to remove. Replace
the battery with a new CR123A cell. The Panic Button
then reconnects to your Base Station automatically.
Place the lid back on the Panic Button, taking care to
line up the semi-circle on the rim of the lid with the
“open” semi-circle on the base. Twist the lid clockwise
to lock it in.
How to remove Panic Button from your
system:
Open the side menu in the Ring app and tap Devices,
then Base Station. Select your Panic Button and tap the
gear-shaped icon. Then tap Remove Device.
When prompted, open the Panic Button and remove
and reinstall the battery to complete the removal.
Having trouble with your Panic Button?
If your Panic Button stops working or will not connect
(even with a good battery), try a factory reset.
To do this, press and hold the Setup button for 10
seconds. When the LED ring stops blinking, your Panic
Button has reset.
When mounting on drywall, pre-drill the
holes and insert the included anchors.
A factory reset disconnects the Panic Button
from your Ring Alarm. To begin using the Panic
Button again, repeat the setup process in the
Ring app.
This turns the Panic Button on. Your Base Station then
finds it automatically.
The Panic Button can trigger an alarm as soon
as you add it to your system. If pressed, it will
immediately trigger your Alarm.
As the Panic Button pairs to your Base Station, its LED
ring will blink. Once it pairs, the LED glows blue for
three seconds.
If the Panic Button does not pair successfully, the LED
ring glows red. To try the pairing process again, remove
and reinstall the battery inside the Panic Button.
When prompted, pull out the clear tab.
Setup button
If it still cannot connect, try installing
a Ring Range Extender between the
Panic Button and your Base Station.
Because the signal failed, the siren will not sound. Even if
you’ve subscribed to Ring Protect Plus, the monitoring center
and emergency responders will not be notified. Remember, in
an emergency, calling 9-1-1 is a safe option.
