Reply to comment by DotAccomplished5484 in Help. Ring doorbell and existing chime by xrr88x

What do you mean by jump across the 2 wires? And is this at the chime or the actual ring unit?

There should be two very thin wires attached to the doorbell that make a connection when the door bell is pushed. That is what activates the doorbell. They should be approx. 20v. Connect the two wires by touching with a piece of wire that still has the sheathing everywhere but the ends.

Thanks for the help I’m going to get the jumper and the chime just in case the jump doesn’t work and return the unused stuff.
