Ring blue light is flashing slowly after reset

Start here

A slowly flashing blue ring is a factory-reset state on supported Ring doorbells. Let the reset finish before interrupting power or starting setup again.

Check these first

• Confirm the exact flash pattern.
• Wait for reset completion.
• Then look for the model’s setup-mode indication.

Fix it in this order

1. Let reset complete.
2. Open Ring app setup.
3. Follow the exact model onboarding flow.

Evidence to keep

• Light pattern/video
• Model
• Duration

Do not make it harder

• Power interruption during factory reset

How you know it is fixed

• Reset completes and the doorbell enters setup/normal idle state.

If the obvious fix does not work

1. If the light never transitions out of reset state after the documented period, power-cycle and contact support.

If this still isn't resolved

1. Ring Support
