5.1. Access Methods

• Password Entry: Touch the keypad to activate, then enter your registered 4-12 digit password followed by the '*' key.
• Fingerprint Recognition: Place your registered finger on the biometric sensor. The lock will unlock upon successful recognition.
• RFID Card/Tag: Place your registered RFID card or tag on the designated card reader area.

5.2. Dual Authentication Mode

To enhance security, you can enable Dual Authentication Mode. When active, both a password and a fingerprint (or RFID tag) are required to unlock the door. This feature significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

5.3. Welcome Feature

The built-in IR sensor detects movement within 70cm of the lock. Upon detection, the keypad illuminates, and the lock prepares for user input, providing a welcoming and convenient experience.

5.4. Manner Mode

Activate Manner Mode by pressing the '*' key before entering your password. This temporarily mutes all digital sounds, including keypad tones and voice prompts, allowing for quiet entry or exit without disturbing others.

5.5. Intruder Prevention Feature

When leaving your home, activate the Intruder Prevention Feature. If an attempt is made to enter through other means (e.g., windows, balconies) and then operate the lock from inside, an alarm will sound, deterring intruders.

5.6. In-Home Security Feature

For maximum security when you are inside, activate the In-Home Security Feature. This disables all external access methods (passwords, RFID tags) from the outside, preventing anyone from unlocking the door digitally.

6.1. Battery Replacement

The Samsung SHS-P718 Digital Lock is powered by 8 AA alkaline batteries. The expected battery life is up to 12 months, though with average use (10 times per day), it may last approximately 1 month.

• Low Battery Indicator: The lock provides an audible low battery warning for approximately 30 days before the batteries are completely depleted. Replace all 8 batteries promptly when this warning occurs.

• Battery Type: Always use new, high-quality AA alkaline batteries for optimal performance and longevity.
