RFID card or fingerprint not recognized	Card/fingerprint not registered, dirty sensor, incorrect placement.	Ensure the card/fingerprint is properly enrolled. Clean the fingerprint collector. Present the RFID card correctly within the reading range.
Keypad is unresponsive	No power, loose connection, internal fault.	Check the power supply unit and its connections. Ensure the DC12V output is correct. If the issue persists, contact technical support.
Door does not lock/unlock	Incorrect lock wiring, faulty lock, power supply issue.	Verify the electric lock wiring (NC/NO mode). Test the electric lock independently. Check the power supply output to the lock.
