5.3 SecureScreen™ Technology
SecureScreen™ is a patented technology designed to prevent code detection from fingerprints on the touchscreen. Before entering your code, the system prompts you to touch random digits, smudging the screen and making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to guess your code based on fingerprint residue.
5.4 9V Backup Power
In the event that the 4 AA batteries run out, a 9V battery can be used as a temporary backup power source. Touch a 9V battery to the two terminals located below the keypad on the exterior assembly to provide temporary power and enter your code.
6. Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: The lock will provide a low battery warning (e.g., flashing light, audible beeps). Replace all four AA batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation. Use high-quality alkaline batteries.
- Cleaning: Clean the keypad and lock surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish or electronic components.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the deadbolt latch mechanism with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Do not lubricate the key cylinder unless specifically instructed by Weiser support.
7. Troubleshooting
