Maintenance
Battery Care
The myQ Video Keypad is powered by a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. You will receive notifications via the myQ app when the battery level is low. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before initial use to maximize battery life. If you opt for the wired power adapter kit, battery maintenance is no longer required.
Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance and appearance, periodically wipe the keypad and camera lens with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Connectivity Issues
If the keypad is having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi or the myQ cloud, ensure your Wi-Fi signal is strong at the installation location. You may need to reset the Wi-Fi connection via the keypad's reset button and re-enter credentials in the app. Patience may be required as connection to the video cloud can sometimes take a few minutes.
Battery Draining Quickly
Frequent activity or live viewing can impact battery life. Consider adjusting motion detection sensitivity settings in the myQ app. For a permanent solution, install the optional wired Power Adapter Kit to provide continuous power.
App Functionality
For issues related to app features, such as video management or notifications, ensure your myQ app is updated to the latest version. If problems persist, consult the in-app help resources or contact myQ support.
