5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Initial Setup and Key Registration

1. Activate the Lock: Upon first use, present one of the two included master keycards to the lock's sensor area. This activates the lock and registers the master keycard.
2. Add User Keys: To register additional NFC/RFID compatible devices (e.g., smartphones, membership cards, public transport cards) as user keys, first present a master keycard to put the lock into programming mode. Then, present the desired NFC/RFID device to the sensor. The lock will indicate successful registration.

5.2 Locking and Unlocking

• Unlocking: Present a registered NFC/RFID user key or a master keycard to the lock's sensor. The lock mechanism will disengage, allowing the cabinet or drawer to be opened.
• Locking: The Rothult Smart Lock is designed to engage automatically when the cabinet or drawer is closed. Ensure the door/drawer is fully closed for the lock to secure properly.

5.3 Managing Lost Keycards

• Lost User Keycard: If a user keycard or NFC/RFID device is lost, use a master keycard to enter programming mode. Follow the specific instructions (refer to the full IKEA product documentation if available) to remove the lost key from the system.
• Lost Master Keycard: If one master keycard is lost, the remaining master keycard can still be used to manage the lock, including adding or removing other user keys. It is recommended to keep master keycards in a secure location.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Keep the smart lock clean and dry. Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
• Sensor Area: Ensure the NFC/RFID sensor area on the lock is kept clear of dust and debris to maintain optimal performance.
• Battery Information: The product specifications indicate that batteries are neither included nor required, suggesting it may be powered by other means or is a passive device. No battery replacement is necessary.

  • Verify that the keycard or device is properly registered with the lock.
