6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Unlocking Methods

Image: This graphic displays the four primary methods for unlocking the HEIXSMT HT196 door lock: fingerprint recognition, passcode entry, IC card access, and traditional mechanical keys.

Fingerprint Unlock

Place your registered finger firmly on the fingerprint sensor. The lock will unlock within approximately 1 second if the fingerprint is recognized. The recognition rate is up to 98% with 508 DPI resolution.

Passcode Unlock (Anti-Peeping Feature)

To unlock using a passcode, enter your registered passcode followed by the '#' key. For enhanced security, you can enter random digits before and after your actual passcode. This 'anti-peeping' feature prevents others from guessing your code by observing your input.

Mechanical Key Unlock

In case of emergency or battery depletion, insert the mechanical key into the keyhole and turn to unlock the door. Always keep a mechanical key accessible outside the property.

6.2 Automatic/Manual Locking

The lock supports both automatic and manual locking modes. You can configure the lock to automatically engage after a set period or require manual locking. Refer to the programming instructions for your specific model to switch between these modes.

6.3 Passage Mode

A passage mode can be activated to keep the door unlocked for continuous access, which is convenient for high-traffic periods or for children and the elderly. Deactivate this mode when normal security is required.

6.4 Emergency Power

If the batteries are completely depleted, the lock features an emergency USB interface. Connect a portable power bank to this interface to temporarily power the lock and gain access. This interface is for emergency power only and does not charge the internal AAA batteries.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Battery Replacement

The lock requires 4 AAA batteries (not included). Depending on usage, batteries can last 8 to 10 months. The lock will provide a low battery reminder (red light flashes three times upon unlocking) when batteries need replacement. Replace all four batteries simultaneously with new, high-quality alkaline batteries.

7.2 Cleaning

Clean the lock's surface and fingerprint sensor with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and electronic components.

8. Troubleshooting

• Lock not responding: Check battery levels. If batteries are low or dead, use the emergency USB power or mechanical key.
• Fingerprint not recognized: Ensure your finger is clean and dry. Try re-registering your fingerprint if the issue persists.
• Passcode not working: Verify the correct passcode is entered. Ensure the '#' key is pressed after the passcode.
• Lock is loose: Check all mounting screws and tighten them if necessary.
• Door not locking/unlocking smoothly: Ensure the latch is properly aligned with the strike plate on the door frame. Check for any obstructions.
