Use the in-app graphic to determine if your setup would work best with or without a wedge.
- If a flat/straight view would work best, select Wall Plate and tap Next.

-
Place the wall plate at your desired mounting location and mark the screw holes. Remove the wall plate then drill the screw holes and insert the wall anchors.
- Tip: We recommend installing 4.3 feet (1.2 meters) from the ground.
- Pass the wires from the wall through the middle of the wall plate. Then screw the wall plate to the wall.
- Use the screwdriver to loosen the screws on the back of your doorbell and attach the forked end of the extension wires to the screws. Then tighten the screws.
-
Pair the loose wire ends, cover them with the provided wire caps, and twist the caps to fasten them securely. Tap Next.
- Note: If you can’t use the extension wires due to space limitations, connect the wires from the wall directly to the screw terminals on the doorbell.
-
Press the doorbell against the wall plate and slide down to secure in place.
- To remove the doorbell, press the doorbell and slide it up before pulling away from the wall plate.
- Turn on the power to your new doorbell and wait for it to flash orange before continuing.
