3.2. Installing the Bolt and Strike

3.3. Installing the Exterior Assembly
If your door has a 1 1/2" bore hole, remove the spacer from the exterior assembly. Keep the tailpiece horizontal and pass it through the middle hole of the deadbolt. Route the cable through the gap below the bolt.
3.4. Installing the Mounting Plate
Pass the cable through the bottom hole of the mounting plate. Align the tailpiece with the middle hole. Secure the mounting plate to the exterior assembly using Screws D. Tighten screws evenly.
3.5. Installing the Interior Assembly
Remove the battery cover from the interior assembly. Connect the cable from the exterior assembly to the socket on the interior assembly, ensuring the small teeth face up. Align the tailpiece with the hole in the interior assembly. Rotate the knob to a vertical position (unlocked). Attach the interior assembly to the mounting plate using Screws E.
3.6. Testing the Deadbolt
Rotate the knob a few times to ensure the bolt extends and retracts smoothly. Close the door and test again. The bolt should match the strike plate in the door frame without resistance.
3.7. Installing the Batteries and Performing Door Handing
This is a crucial step for the lock's operation. First, rotate the knob to a horizontal position (locked), which will extend the bolt. Insert the four AA batteries. The red LED light will turn on, and you will hear a beep. Then, install the battery cover.

3.8. Installing the Door Sensor
The door sensor should be mounted as close as possible to the edge of your door frame and to the bottom of the extended deadbolt. You can install it using the included sticker or Screw F. Ensure it is firmly pressed against the door frame.

4. Setup
4.1. U-tec App Setup
Download the U-tec App from your smartphone's app store. Follow the on-screen prompts to allow Bluetooth and notification access. Log in to your existing U-tec account or create a new one. The app will detect nearby ULTRALOQ devices. Select your ULTRALOQ Bolt Pro Z-Wave to begin the setup process.
Video: Step-by-step guide for setting up the U-tec App with your ULTRALOQ device.
4.2. Adding Admin, User Codes, and Fingerprints
Follow the app's instructions to set up an Admin Code (4-8 digits). This code is required for managing other users and settings. You can then add User Codes and Fingerprints for regular access. The app will guide you through the process of enrolling fingerprints by placing your finger on the reader from different angles.

4.3. Z-Wave Hub Connection
The ULTRALOQ Bolt Pro Z-Wave is compatible with Z-Wave Plus hubs such as Samsung SmartThings, Hubitat, and Ezlo (Vera). Ensure your Z-Wave hub is online and within communication range (100 feet) of the lock. Follow your hub's instructions to put it into pairing mode, then initiate pairing from the U-tec App. If your hub requires a QR code or 5-digit pin code, find it on the back of the battery cover of your smart lock.
