5. Operating Instructions
The Catchface C001C Smart Cylinder Lock offers multiple convenient ways to unlock your door.
5.1. Mobile Phone Access (TT Lock App)
The TT Lock App provides comprehensive control over your smart lock. It allows you to:
- Send temporary passcodes or eKeys remotely to guests or service providers.
- Manage existing passcodes and eKeys.
- View access logs to monitor who entered and when.
- Unlock the door via the app when you are nearby (Bluetooth) or remotely (with gateway).
5.2. Remote Control Access (with Gateway)
To enable remote unlocking and administrative changes from anywhere, you will need to connect your smart lock to a Wi-Fi gateway (sold separately). This allows the TT Lock App to communicate with the lock over the internet.
5.3. Password Access
The lock features an acrylic touch keypad for password entry. Passwords can be 4-8 digits long. For enhanced security, the Anti-Peeping Virtual Password feature allows you to input random numbers before or after your correct password, making it difficult for onlookers to discern your actual code.
5.4. RFID Card Access
Simply tap an authorized RFID card or keychain to the card area on the lock's front panel to unlock the door.
5.5. Mechanical Key Access
For traditional access or in case of battery depletion, mechanical keys are provided as a reliable backup.
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Catchface C001C Smart Cylinder Lock, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Battery Replacement: The lock uses AAA batteries. When the low battery reminder function activates, replace the batteries promptly to avoid being locked out.
- Emergency Power: In case batteries die before replacement, use the external USB charging port for temporary power to unlock the door.
- Cleaning: Wipe the keypad and lock body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.
- Water Protection: The lock has an IP44 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against splashing water. For outdoor use or areas exposed to direct rain, consider using a waterproof cover for added protection.
7. Troubleshooting
- Lock Not Responding: Check battery levels. If low, replace AAA batteries or use the emergency USB charging port.
- Difficulty with Installation: Ensure your door cylinder is a Standard European Cylinder. Refer to the installation guide and video for correct orientation and steps. The lock can be installed from either the front or the back, but proper alignment is crucial.
- App Connectivity Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and you are within range. If using remote unlock, verify the gateway is properly connected to Wi-Fi and the lock.
- Password Entry Problems: Make sure you are entering the correct 4-8 digit password. If using the virtual password feature, ensure the correct sequence is embedded within the random numbers.
8. User Tips
- Customize Auto-Lock: Utilize the adjustable door lock time feature in the TT Lock App to set a delay that suits your needs, preventing the door from locking immediately after closing.
- Enhanced Security with Virtual Passwords: Always use the Anti-Peeping Virtual Password feature when entering your code in public or around others to prevent unauthorized observation.
- Regular Battery Checks: Although there's a low battery reminder, it's good practice to check battery levels periodically, especially before extended absences.
- Gateway for Remote Access: If you need to manage access or unlock the door when you're away from home, consider purchasing the optional Wi-Fi gateway for full remote functionality.
