Operating Instructions
Setting Passwords:
The lock supports 1 administrator password, up to 20 user passwords, and 1 virtual code.
Refer to the detailed programming guide (usually found in a separate quick start guide or the full PDF manual) for specific steps on how to set and manage these codes.
Unlocking the Door:
- Using a Password: Enter your valid PIN code on the backlit keypad. The lock will disengage.
- Anti-Peeking Password: To enhance security, you can enter random digits before and after your actual PIN code. For example, if your PIN is 159357, you can enter "1479 + 159357 + 3697". The lock will recognize the correct PIN within the sequence.
Demonstration of the anti-peeking password feature for enhanced security. - Using Mechanical Keys: In case of battery failure or forgotten codes, use one of the two provided backup mechanical keys to unlock the door.
Locking the Door:
- Auto-Lock: The lock can be programmed to automatically lock after a set period (10-99 seconds, customizable) once the door is closed.
Configure the auto-lock feature to secure your door automatically after a set time. - One-Touch Locking: The lock also supports one-touch locking, allowing you to quickly secure the door from the outside. (Specific button or action for one-touch locking would be in the full manual).
Special Modes:
- Away Mode: This mode can be activated for extended periods of absence, potentially disabling certain user codes or triggering alarms if tampered with. (Consult the full manual for activation details).
- Mute Function: The lock's beeping sounds can be muted for quiet operation.
Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: The lock features a low battery indicator (red light on the keypad). Replace all four AA batteries promptly when this indicator appears to ensure continuous operation.
The lock indicates low battery with a red light and offers an emergency USB-C power option. - Emergency Power: In case of complete battery depletion, a USB-C port is available for emergency power to temporarily operate the lock and gain entry.
- Cleaning: Clean the keypad and lock body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.
- Mechanical Keys: Store the backup mechanical keys in a safe, accessible location outside the property, but not directly on the door or in an obvious spot.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lock does not respond to keypad entry. | Dead batteries. Incorrect code entered. | Replace batteries. Re-enter code carefully. Use mechanical key for emergency access. |
| Low battery indicator (red light) is on. | Batteries are low. | Replace all four AA batteries immediately. |
| Lock makes repeated beeping sounds. | Wrong entry limits reached. Low battery. | Wait for the lockout period to end. Replace batteries. |
| Auto-lock feature not working. | Feature not enabled or incorrectly configured. | Check programming settings for auto-lock delay (10-99s). Ensure the door sensor is aligned. |
| Keypad is not backlit. | Backlight feature may be disabled or a fault. | Check programming settings for keypad backlight. If issue persists, contact support. |

User Tips
- Regular Battery Checks: Even without the low battery indicator, it's good practice to check and replace batteries every 6-12 months, especially in high-traffic doors.
- Code Security: Change your administrator and user codes periodically for enhanced security. Avoid using easily guessable sequences like birthdays or sequential numbers.
- Emergency Key Location: Always keep your backup mechanical keys in a secure, yet easily accessible location outside your home, such as with a trusted neighbor or in a secure lockbox.
- Door Alignment: Ensure your door is properly aligned and closes smoothly. Misalignment can cause the deadbolt to bind, leading to operational issues and premature wear.
- Test After Programming: After changing any settings or codes, always test the lock's functionality with the door open first to avoid accidental lockout.
