I’m a Ring expert and there are three important signs you must not ignore – or your doorbell may stop working

RING doorbell owners have been warned to watch out for extreme temperatures that can stop your device from working.

Fortunately the cold is less likely to affect your Ring doorbell at this time of year but it’s important to be aware of the limits yours can take when winter returns.

All it takes is for temperatures to drop to 3 degrees celsius and your Ring’s battery will start to feel the affects.

At this low, the Amazon-owned company warns the battery “may not hold a charge as effectively”.

This may mean you’ll have to charge it more often.

But if things get even colder it could spell more trouble.

At zero degrees celsius, the firm says the battery may not charge at all.

And even hardwired configurations may not charge the battery.

Now if things get seriously cold, the battery may stop working entirely – until things warm up anyway.

We’re talking -20.5 degrees celsius.

When it’s cold, Ring advises you to bring your doorbell device inside.

You should make sure your battery is charged to 100 per cent – although it still won’t be as effective in extreme colds, it’ll still give you the longest possible chance of continued functionality.

But importantly, keep an eye on the temperature if you want your Ring device to work properly.

And note that the battery may not recharge straight away if it’s too cold.

That’s because the on-board software prevents it to avoid damage.

You’ll need to allow the battery to warm to room temperature before it’ll recharge again as normal.
