6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Battery Installation

The lock requires 4 AAA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment on the lock base and insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.

6.2 Programming Keys (Master Card/User Cards)

The lock supports one Master Card and up to 10 User Cards/Fobs. The first card/fob programmed after initialization becomes the Master Card.

  1. Initialization (Reset): After installing the batteries, use a small, hard object (like a pin or a thin screwdriver) to press and hold the RESET button located through the small hole on the front of the lock cylinder. Hold until you hear a long beep, then release. This clears all previously programmed cards.
  2. Set Master Card: Immediately after initialization, swipe the first RFID card or fob over the induction area of the lock base. You will hear a short beep, indicating it has been set as the Master Card.
  3. Set User Cards: After setting the Master Card, swipe the Master Card over the induction area. The lock will beep once. Then, swipe each additional RFID card or fob you wish to program as a User Card. Each successful programming will be confirmed with a short beep. Repeat for all desired User Cards (up to 10).
  4. Exit Programming Mode: Swipe the Master Card again to exit programming mode. The lock will beep twice.

7. Maintenance

  • Battery Replacement: The lock will emit a long beep when the battery is low. You will have approximately 15 uses remaining after this alert. Replace all 4 AAA batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation.
