Step 3 - Wired Preparation
WARNING: TURN OFF THE POWER RUNNING TO YOUR EXISTING CIRCUIT AT THE BREAKER
- Test that power has been disconnected by pressing the button on your existing doorbell. There should be no sound.
- 8-24 VAC is required. If you do not have this voltage, you will need a 8-24 VAC doorbell transformer.
- Always be careful when handling electrical wiring. If you are not comfortable doing it yourself, consult a licensed electrician.
IMPORTANT: 8-24V AC transformer is required. If your house does not have a compatible transformer, you will need to purchase a 8-24V AC doorbell transformer. Refer to the article “What transformer should I use with the 2K Video Doorbell?” for details.
Step 4 - Wiring the Doorbell
If your existing doorbel wiring is too short, replace the Connecting Wire with the provided Extension Wire.
- Remove your existing doorbell and disconnect the wiring. Tip: Bend the power cables so they do not fall through the wall.
- Go to and complete Step 5 - Mounting Setup.
- Completely remove the Power Port Terminal screws completely with a Philips-head screwdriver.
- Thread the screws through the metal loops of the Connecting Wires, and then tighten the screws clockwise.
- Align the ends of your existing wiring and Connecting Wires, place the wire caps over the exposed wiring, and then twist the wire cap clockwise to tighten.
Step 5 - Mounting Setup
- Place the Mounting Bracket on the desired location with the arrow pointing up.
- Mark the holes for screws.
- Using a Phillips-head screwdriver and the provided screws, secure the Mounting Bracket to the surface.
Optional: Drill 1/4” (6mm) holes for the anchors.
Wedge Installation (Optional)
- Align and place either one of the horizontal or vertical wedges to the Mounting Bracket according to the direction you want the doorbell to face.
- To change the direction of the angle, flip the horizontal or vertical wedge upside down.
