Maintenance
Battery Replacement:
The Nest x Yale Lock is powered by 4 AA batteries. The Nest app will provide alerts when battery levels are low, allowing ample time for replacement. To replace batteries, remove the interior cover of the deadbolt unit and insert new AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
Cleaning:
Clean the keypad and lock surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Nest x Yale Lock.
Lock Not Responding / Offline:
- Check Nest Connect: Ensure the Nest Connect is plugged in and within range of both your Wi-Fi router and the lock.
- Wi-Fi Connection: Verify your home Wi-Fi network is active and stable.
- Restart Devices: Try unplugging and replugging the Nest Connect. If the issue persists, restart your Wi-Fi router.
Keypad Not Accepting Passcodes:
- Privacy Mode: Check if Privacy Mode is active (disables keypad entry).
- Battery Level: Low batteries can affect keypad functionality. Replace batteries if indicated by the Nest app or if the keypad is unresponsive.
- Incorrect Passcode: Ensure the correct passcode is being entered. Passcodes can be managed via the Nest app.
Lock Mechanism Malfunction:
- Door Alignment: Ensure the door and strike plate are properly aligned. Misalignment can cause the deadbolt to bind. Adjust the strike plate if necessary.
- Obstructions: Check for any physical obstructions preventing the deadbolt from extending or retracting fully.
