I will be contacting Ring Technical support, but thought this might be faster.
I connected a Ring doorbell to my existing doorbell button with two wires, and it operates the existing doorbell when the Ring button is pressed. The low voltage current from the existing doorbell button also keeps the Ring doorbell battery charged, so you never need to remove and recharge the Ring battery. All of the other Ring functions seem to work as designed.
