7. Maintenance

7.1. Battery Replacement

The smart lock is powered by 4 AAA alkaline batteries. We recommend replacing the batteries after 180 days of use or when the battery level, monitored via the Tuya app, falls below 30%. If the batteries are completely depleted, use a mechanical key to unlock the door and replace them.

In case of battery failure, a TYPE-C interface is available on the exterior assembly for emergency power supply. Connect a power bank or suitable TYPE-C power source to temporarily power the lock.

7.3. Cleaning

Keep the fingerprint sensor and keypad clean and dry to ensure optimal performance. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1. Fingerprint Recognition Not Working

• Ensure the smart lock has power.
• Try placing your finger on the sensor at a different angle.
• Ensure the fingerprint sensor is clean and dry.
• If there is no power, use a spare mechanical key to unlock the door and replace the batteries.
• If issues persist, contact customer support.

8.2. Muting "Beep Beep" Sounds

To mute the lock's sounds:

1. Open the Tuya Smart app.
2. Navigate to "More" (usually found by swiping or tapping an icon).
3. Select "Mute Settings" and toggle to "Open" or "Close" as desired.

8.3. Handle Feels Tight or Grindy

If the handle feels tight or makes a grinding noise, apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts of the latch mechanism before or after installation.

8.4. External Handle Rotates Loosely

Check the installation screws and ensure they are tightened securely. Re-verify that all components are properly seated according to the installation steps.

9. User Tips

• Lubrication: If the handle feels stiff or 'grindy' during operation, a small amount of lubricant on the internal mechanisms can improve smoothness.
• Battery Monitoring: Regularly check the battery level through the Tuya Smart app to avoid being locked out. Replace batteries promptly when the level drops below 30%.
• Fingerprint Placement: When adding fingerprints, try to register your finger from various angles to improve recognition accuracy.
• Easy Installation: Many users find the installation process straightforward, often described as 'plug and play'.
