Operating Instructions
1. Initial Setup and User Management
Upon first power-up, the lock will be in factory default mode. You will need to set an administrator fingerprint or code first.
- Adding Administrator Fingerprint: Press the 'Setting Button' (usually located on the inside handle). Follow the voice prompts to register your fingerprint multiple times until confirmed. This fingerprint will have administrative privileges.
- Adding User Fingerprints: Once an administrator is set, the administrator can add up to 100 user fingerprints. Access the setting menu via the administrator fingerprint and follow prompts to add new users.
- Adding User Codes: The lock supports up to 50 customizable digit codes. Access the setting menu via the administrator fingerprint/code and follow prompts to create new user codes (6-8 digits recommended).

- Mechanical Key Unlock: Insert the mechanical key into the keyhole located on the front handle and turn to unlock. This is a backup method for emergencies.

- Auto-Lock: The lock features an auto-lock function that engages after a set period (configurable in settings) once the door is closed.
- Passage Mode: This mode allows the door to remain unlocked for continuous access, useful for high-traffic periods. It can be activated and deactivated via the administrator settings.

- Keypad not working: Ensure the keypad is clean. If the lock is completely unresponsive, check batteries.
- Lock does not engage/disengage properly: Verify that the latch is installed correctly and moves freely. Check for any obstructions in the door frame or strike plate.
