5. Operating Instructions
The Tenon A9pro offers various convenient and secure ways to unlock your door.
5.1 Unlocking Methods

5.1.1 3D Face Recognition
As you approach the door, the lock's AI 3D face recognition system will detect your presence and scan your face. Upon successful recognition, the lock will automatically unlock. Ensure your face is clearly visible to the sensor.

5.1.2 Palm Vein Recognition
For a non-touch unlock, place your palm within 0.15-0.35 meters of the sensor. The bank-level palm vein recognition will identify you in less than 1 second. The lock supports up to 50 palm vein user groups.

5.1.3 Fingerprint Recognition
Place your registered finger on the fingerprint sensor. The AI algorithm chip provides rapid recognition (<=0.5 seconds) and self-learning capabilities, improving accuracy over time. The lock has a capacity for 99 fingerprint sets.

5.1.4 Password Entry
Enter your registered password on the keypad. The lock supports a dummy password feature to prevent peeking, where you can enter random digits before or after your actual password.
5.1.5 IC Card / NFC
Tap your registered IC card or NFC-enabled device on the designated area of the lock for quick access.
5.1.6 Mechanical Key
In case of emergency or battery depletion, use the mechanical key to unlock the door. The lock features a hidden keyhole for added security.
5.1.7 Tuya App Control
Connect your Tenon A9pro to the Tuya App via WiFi for remote control and monitoring. You can unlock the door remotely, view real-time video from the cat eye, and receive notifications.
5.2 Automatic Locking
The Tenon A9pro features a fully automatic locking mechanism. After successful identification and entry, the door will automatically lock within seconds of closing, eliminating the need to manually lock it.

5.3 Video Intercom and Monitoring
The integrated visible cat eye provides 24/7 monitoring with ultra-clear wide-angle fill light night vision. When someone presses the doorbell, you will receive a video call on your smartphone via the Tuya App, allowing you to see and communicate with visitors remotely. The system also captures and sends images/alerts if strangers linger at your door.

- Software Updates: Ensure the Tuya App and lock firmware are updated regularly to benefit from the latest security enhancements and features.
8. Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and potential solutions:
- Lock not responding: Check the battery level. If low, recharge using the Type C port or replace the battery.
- Recognition failure (fingerprint, face, palm vein): Ensure sensors are clean and your registered biometric data is correctly enrolled. Try re-enrolling if issues persist.
- App connectivity issues: Ensure your home WiFi network is stable and the lock is within range. Restart the lock and your router if necessary. Verify the Tuya App is updated to the latest version.
- Automatic locking not engaging: Check for any obstructions preventing the door from closing fully. Ensure the lock's sensors are clean and unobstructed.
- Forgotten password: Use an alternative unlocking method (e.g., fingerprint, app, mechanical key) and reset the password via the lock's settings or the Tuya App.
- Emergency unlock: If all electronic methods fail, use the mechanical key via the hidden keyhole.
9. User Tips
- Regularly Update Biometrics: As fingerprints can change over time due to wear or injury, consider re-enrolling your fingerprints periodically for consistent recognition.
- Vary Passwords: Change your access passwords regularly for enhanced security. Utilize the dummy password feature to deter onlookers.
- Monitor App Notifications: Keep an eye on notifications from the Tuya App for alerts regarding unusual activity or low battery warnings.
