Will I need to change my original chime or is the one shown likely to be fine?I can’t find the maker of my doorbell, inside it says 8v 1.0 A. Is this ok for my ring 4?Cheers in anticipation.![image|375x500](upload://f2wu9f53rrqsLjAMM43bKiIvaUX.jpeg)

    Hi @Mo.Orr. If this is a Mechanical Chime, it should work without issue. [Here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/209028546-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Pro-Chime-Kit-Compatibility-List) is a list of compatible chime kits. I would make sure that your transformer is adequate for the Doorbell 4. This Help Center article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059528911-How-to-Physically-Install-Your-Ring-Video-Doorbell-4-With-an-Existing-Doorbell) will have instructions on how to hardwire this. I hope this helps!

      Thanks for that Tom, I don’t know how to check the transformer: my mains go straight into the top of the doorbell box that’s shown in the picture. I presume if the transformer isn’t up to it, it will just give up without harming the Ring4. Fingers crossed Cheers
