    Basic setup guide for the Ring Keypad — covers adding (inclusion) and removing (exclusion) the keypad from a Z-Wave network, lifeline association, and factory reset.

    Adding the Keypad to a Z-Wave Network (Inclusion)

    The Ring Keypad can be added via Smart Start or via Classic Inclusion mode.

    Smart Start Inclusion

    2. Scan the QR code found on the keypad's packaging or on the back of the keypad.
    3. Plug the keypad into line power.
    4. When inclusion is complete, the LED on the keypad will turn solid blue, then go out.
    5. Test the keypad — any button press should beep.

    Classic Inclusion

    1. Initiate the "add keypad" flow in the Ring Alarm mobile app and follow the guided instructions.
    2. Select "Add Manually" and enter the 5-digit DSK PIN found on the keypad's packaging or via the QR code on the back of the keypad.
    3. Plug the keypad into line power.
    4. Press and hold the "1" key for three seconds.
    5. When inclusion is complete, the LED on the keypad will turn solid blue, then go out.
    6. Test the keypad — any button press should beep.

    Removing the Keypad from a Z-Wave Network (Exclusion)

    2. Press and hold the "1" key for three seconds.
    3. When exclusion is complete, the LED on the keypad will turn solid blue, then go out.
    4. Test the keypad — button presses should no longer beep.

    Lifeline Association

    This keypad has one Association group with one node. Group 1 is a lifeline group that receives unsolicited messages relating to entry control notifications, notification reports, battery report notifications, and device-reset-locally notifications.

    Factory Reset

    Use this procedure only if the network's primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

    1. Press and hold the "5" key, and using the pointed end of a paperclip, gently press and release the reset button through the reset pin hole on the back of the keypad.
    2. The red network LED in the top left-hand corner will start blinking rapidly.
    3. Wait for the red LED to stop blinking, then release the "5" key.
