I have the same problem with my Pro 2 doorbell. There is no bypass button under the orange label on the v3 Power kit.

I have a Pro 2 and use my existing mechanical chime so this suggestion may be of no use. Could you connect the v3 power kit as instructed and through the app, under Doorbell chime type, disable the in home doorbell and/or select the Digital Chime option under Doorbell type?

I'm also curious about this. My doorbell is saying it is not getting a full 16v, one suggestion for previous kit versions was bypass mode to get more voltage to the doorbell.

Hi neighbors! I looked into this and can confirm that the Pro Power Kit v3, which comes with the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2, does not have a bypass option on it. However, you can still bypass your internal chime kit by connecting your Doorbell Pro 2 directly to a compatible low-voltage transformer (16-24 VAC, 50 or 60Hz, 40VA max) or by using the Ring Plug-In Adapter (2nd Gen). You would need to twist the two wires together that are connected to the house chime terminals (front or back door and trans) to complete the circuit to your transformer. When bypassing the chime kit, you do not need to install the Pro Power Kit v3. In the Ring app, you will choose **I don't need it** when asked **Did you install the included Pro Power Kit?** during the setup process. As for the [plug-in-adapter](https://ring.com/products/video-doorbell-plugin-adapter-gen-2), set the adapter down near an outlet that is close to your door but do not plug it in yet. Run the cable to your Doorbell Pro 2 and use the included cable clips to secure it to your wall. Attach the wires to the terminals on the rear of your Doorbell Pro 2, then plug in the plug-in adapter. Your Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 should light up. I hope you find this information helpful. If you have any concerns with wiring your Doorbell Pro 2 directly to a low-voltage transformer, we recommend contacting a qualified electrician for assistance. :)

For anyone who is curious—there is lots of information on the ring website stating that for earlier models if bypassing the chime you *must* connect a resistor in series. This does not appear to be the case with the Pro 2. I tested this setup with and without a resistor (the one ring itself sells), and with the resistor, according to device settings the voltage was ‘poor’ and the power output ‘level 3’. (without the resistor, the voltage was ‘good’ and the power output ‘level 1’, which you need for the advanced features to work. This was with Ring’s own transformer, and regular 18 gauge doorbell wire. The documentation on Ring’s site really needs to be updated.
