3. Follow the in-app instructions to search for and pair with your Sonew Smart Lock. The lock will typically appear as a discoverable Bluetooth device.

5. Place your finger on the fingerprint sensor multiple times as prompted by the app to ensure accurate registration.

4. Adding Additional Fingerprints (Up to 15 Groups)

After setting up the administrator fingerprint, you can add up to 14 additional user fingerprints through the app. Navigate to the "Fingerprint Management" or "User Management" section within the app and follow the instructions to register new fingerprints. Each fingerprint can be assigned a name for easier identification.

Operating Instructions

To lock the padlock, simply push the shackle down into the lock body until it clicks into place. The lock will automatically secure itself.
