        "content": "Here\u2019s how to remove your old Ring Video Doorbell from the Ring app, and then set up a new one\u2014including linking it with an Echo Show 8\u2014all while using VoiceOver on your iPhone. If your phone is Android, I can provide those steps too.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0e Before You Begin with VoiceOver  \nMake sure VoiceOver is enabled (Settings \u2192 Accessibility \u2192 VoiceOver). Use one finger to explore the screen; double-tap to activate the selected item; drag three fingers to scroll; two-finger swipe up to speak all, etc.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Removing the Old Doorbell from the Ring App\n\nThese steps are for removing a device (you're the account owner).\n\n1. Open the **Ring** app. Use one finger to locate and double-tap the menu icon. Usually labeled **\u2630** or \u201cMore.\u201d  \n2. In the menu, navigate to **Devices**, then find the old doorbell in the device list.  \n3. Activate it (double-tap), then swipe right until you hear \u201cDevice Settings,\u201d then double-tap.  \n4. In Settings, find **General Settings**, double-tap.  \n5. Scroll down to **Remove Device** (or \u201cRemove This Device\u201d)\u2014this is usually at the bottom. Double-tap.  \n   \u2022 You\u2019ll be asked whether to **Keep Events** (keeps past recordings) or **Delete Events**. Choose accordingly. ([partners.ring.com](https://partners.ring.com/support/articles/26il9/Deactivating-a-Ring-Doorbell-or-Security-Camera?utm_source=openai))  \n6. Confirm the removal when prompted. Once removed, the doorbell is no longer linked to your Ring account. ([community.ring.com](https://community.ring.com/conversations/ring-video-doorbells/removing-an-old-devise-from-app/65801a1051f6e6fe78e5aadc?utm_source=openai))\n\nIf ownership needs transferring to someone else, the Ring app has a feature called **Transfer Ownership**. ([partners.ring.com](https://partners.ring.com/au/en/support/articles/h4t3a/take-over-account?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 2. Setting Up the New Ring Video Doorbell\n\nAfter removing the old one, here\u2019s how to set up the new one:\n\n1. Charge the device first if it\u2019s battery\u2010powered, or ensure wired models are powered off properly before wiring. ([aboutamazon.com](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/how-to-set-up-ring-doorbell/?utm_source=openai))  \n2. Open the **Ring** app; with VoiceOver, swipe until you find \u201cSet Up a Device,\u201d double-tap it. ([ring.com](https://ring.com/support/articles/4wx6b/Ring-Video-Doorbell-1st-Gen-Setup-Mode?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Select the type of device (e.g. \u201cVideo Doorbell (2nd Gen)\u201d etc.). Double-tap.  \n4. You\u2019ll be prompted to scan the QR code on the doorbell (on its back or under faceplate). If scanning isn\u2019t possible, choose \u201cSet up without QR code\u201d or similar. VoiceOver will read these options aloud. ([ring.com](https://ring.com/support/articles/4wx6b/Ring-Video-Doorbell-1st-Gen-Setup-Mode?utm_source=openai))  \n5. Enter your Wi-Fi password when asked, choosing your home network. Keep your phone close to the doorbell during setup. ([ring.com](https://ring.com/support/articles/4wx6b/Ring-Video-Doorbell-1st-Gen-Setup-Mode?utm_source=openai))  \n6. Name the doorbell (e.g. \u201cFront Door\u201d). VoiceOver should guide you to edit the name field.  \n7. Complete any motion settings, alerts, or preferences in the app. VoiceOver will help with toggles and sliders.  \n8. Physical mounting:  \n   \u2022 For *battery models*, charge, mount, replace faceplate, tighten security screw. ([aboutamazon.com](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/how-to-set-up-ring-doorbell/?utm_source=openai))  \n   \u2022 For *wired models*, power must be off, deal with wires and chime kit if applicable, mount securely, restore power. Use provided tools. ([aboutamazon.com](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/how-to-set-up-ring-doorbell/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 3. Linking Your New Doorbell with Echo Show 8 via Alexa\n\nOnce the Ring doorbell is active in the Ring app, you can integrate it with your Echo Show 8 so you can view live feed, get announcements, and use voice commands.\n\n1. On your iPhone, open the **Alexa** app. Ensure it\u2019s signed into the same Amazon account you will use on your Echo Show.  \n2. In Alexa, go to **Skills & Games**, search for \u201cRing\u201d, and enable the **Ring Skill**. Sign in with your Ring account when prompted. ([pa.ring.com](https://pa.ring.com/support/articles/tu12s/Arming-and-Disarming-Your-Ring-Devices-with-Alexa?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Next, go to **Devices** in Alexa, tap **Discover Devices** to allow Alexa to recognize your newly added Ring doorbell. VoiceOver will announce devices found. ([acciyo.com](https://www.acciyo.com/is-echo-show-8-compatible-with-ring/?utm_source=openai))  \n4. To set up announcements (doorbell presses, motion):  \n   \u2022 In the Alexa app, go to your Ring doorbell under Devices.  \n   \u2022 Find *Doorbell Press Announcements* (and optionally *Motion Announcements*). Toggle on, and select which Echo devices (including your Echo Show 8) should make the announcements. ([co.ring.com](https://co.ring.com/au/en/support/articles/ms6ai/Connecting-Amazon-Alexa-Enabled-Devices-Ring-Devices?utm_source=openai))  \n5. To view the doorbell feed on your Echo Show 8, say:  \n   \u2022 \u201cAlexa, show front door\u201d (or whatever name you assigned).  \n   \u2022 To close the view, \u201cAlexa, hide front door\u201d or \u201cAlexa, stop.\u201d ([co.ring.com](https://co.ring.com/au/en/support/articles/ms6ai/Connecting-Amazon-Alexa-Enabled-Devices-Ring-Devices?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you run into VoiceOver-specific issues (e.g., labels not read, gestures not working), I can walk through those details too. Would you like Android instructions also or anything specific to your model?"
