7.2 Cleaning
Wipe the lock's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.
7.3 Environmental Considerations
This lock is rated as 'No Waterproof'. Avoid installing it in locations directly exposed to rain, heavy moisture, or extreme weather conditions to prevent damage to internal electronics.
8. Troubleshooting
- Lock not responding: Check battery level. Recharge if necessary using the USB port.
- Camera/Intercom not working: Ensure the lock is properly connected to your WiFi network and the Tuya Smart Life app. Check app permissions for camera and microphone access.
- Automatic locking behavior: If the door locks automatically and you wish to disable this temporarily, check the settings within the Tuya Smart Life app. There should be an option to adjust or disable the auto-lock function.
- Reversed open/close commands: If the lock's open/close commands appear reversed in the app or during operation, this might be related to the initial installation and handle direction setting. Consult the installation manual or app settings for recalibration or adjustment.
- Alarms: The lock features anti-pry, false alarm, and low battery alarms. Address the cause of the alarm (e.g., recharge battery, check for tampering).
- Weather exposure: As the lock is not waterproof, if it has been exposed to rain or excessive moisture, dry it thoroughly and check for any signs of damage. Avoid further exposure.
