Wired ring camera with Friedland Chime E831

I recently got a Ring wired doorbell and I'm trying to power it up with my chime. I have a Friedland E381 chime which doesn't have the Trans and Front terminals. It has 5 numbered 0-4. It looks like 3-4 is hooked up to the transformer and 0-2 are bells for the front and back. It did work as is when I had the original doorbell. I tried adding a jumper to 0-3 and 2-3 but it's not powering up my ring doorbell. Do I have to remove the existing wires? Am I even able to use it to power my doorbell? We had a battery operated one but wanted it to be wired to not have to keep recharging it. Here's an image of my chime: ![20231115_145327|500x500](upload://tXwXKy3JAIC5ZywpUxYrHXC3075.jpeg)

    Hi @blacksun5. We have this Help Center [page](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054984332-Installing-your-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Wired) with instructions on installing the Doorbell Wired. It does say to install the Jumper Cable on the front and trans terminals. Since your chime terminals are labeled a different way, I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer of your chime to find out what terminals represent front and trans. If you are not able to do so, I would recommend reaching out to a qualified electrician for help.
