3. Setup
3.1 Installation Considerations
- Ensure the gate or door thickness is compatible with the lock's dimensions.
- For outdoor installations, consider additional weatherproofing measures like silicone sealant around the edges to prevent water ingress, especially for the internal components.
- If installing on a vinyl fence post, a wooden block may be required inside the post to provide a secure mounting surface and proper spacing for the lock components.
- Wiring may need to be extended to connect the outdoor and indoor units, especially if the gate post is wider than the standard wire length.

4.1 Unlocking Methods
- Fingerprint: Place a registered finger on the fingerprint sensor. The lock will emit an audible confirmation and unlock.
- Passcode: Enter your registered digital code on the keypad followed by the '#' key.
- RFID Card: Present a registered RFID card to the card reader area on the outdoor unit.
- Mechanical Key: Insert the physical key into the keyhole (located under a cover on the outdoor unit) and turn to unlock.
- App Unlock: Use the Tuya or TTLock App on your smartphone to remotely unlock the gate. Note: The Wi-Fi lock only supports remote unlocking, not remote closing.
4.2 Adding/Deleting Users
- User management (adding/deleting fingerprints, passcodes, or RFID cards) is typically performed through the connected Tuya or TTLock App.
- Refer to the specific app's instructions for detailed steps on user enrollment and removal.
- You can set up different access codes and fingerprints for various users (e.g., family members, mail delivery, guests).
4.3 Automatic Locking
- The lock is designed to automatically lock itself when the gate closes and the internal magnet makes contact with the receiver. This is a key safety feature.
5. Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: Replace all 4 AA Alkaline batteries when the low battery indicator appears or when performance degrades. Use quality name-brand batteries for optimal life.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.
- Weather Protection: Periodically inspect the silicone sealant (if applied) around the lock for cracks or deterioration and reapply as needed to maintain weather resistance. Keep the mechanical keyhole cover closed when not in use.
- USB Charging Port: The USB external power supply interface is for emergency power only if batteries are completely drained. Do not use for regular charging.
