Step Six - Specify Your Location

If this is your first time setting up a Ring device, you will receive a request from your phone informing you that the Ring app wishes to use your phone’s location services to pinpoint your location. Allowing the app to do so will assist with inputting your address.

Enter your address information into the app, then confirm it.

If you have established a location previously, you can select it from the list of your locations.

Step Seven - Choose Where Your Stick Up Cam Will Be Installed

Select either “Indoors” or “Outdoors” based on where you plan to install your Stick Up Cam.

If you chose “Indoors,” select whether or not your Stick Up Cam will be facing a window.

Note: By facing your Stick Up Cam towards a window you can block night vision and significantly reduce Motion Detection reliability.

Step Eight - Name Your Device

Select a specific name for your Stick Up Cam Battery/Solar to distinguish it from other Ring devices on your account. You can choose one of the default names that are suggested, or you can enter your own by selecting “Custom…” at the bottom of the list.

Step Nine - Insert the Battery

Insert the battery with the flat metal catch facing the back of your Stick Up Cam. The largest portion of this catch should be on the bottom.

When you have inserted the battery properly, you should hear a ‘click'. This means the battery is properly secured.

Wait 30 seconds for your Stick Up Cam to power on.

Step Ten - Wait for Your Stick Up Cam to Enter Setup Mode

Your Stick Up Cam will enter Setup Mode after inserting the battery. When the light on the front of your Stick Up Cam begins flashing blue, tap “The Light is Flashing” in your Ring app to continue to the next step.

If your Stick Up Cam does not go into Setup Mode automatically after powering on, press and release the small orange button under the battery cover.

Step Eleven - Connect to Your Ring Device
