I bought a new Ring Alarm system about three months ago.
I have installed it now and the Range Extender event history shows “Battery drained” and “Battery is charging” alternatively every few minutes. It has been like this for over a day.
I have tried plugging it in and out. I have also tried Reconfigure Device in Advanced Settings.
Does this require a new Range Extender?
Hi @asalcedo. This is certainly unusual behavior for a Range Extender. I would suggest doing what we call a “remove, reset, readd”. First, remove the Range Extender by selecting- Menu > Devices > Alarm Base Station > Range Extender > (Gear Icon) > Remove. To perform a factory reset, plug the Range Extender in the outlet closest to the Base Station, press and hold the button on the side of the Range Extender for 20 seconds, then release. Once that is complete, just add the device by following the steps in the Ring App.

Thank you Tom for your inputs.
I will do as suggested and follow-up.

Hi Tom,
After doing what you suggested all is working fine now.
Many thanks for your help.
