1.3 Initial Configuration and Pairing
After physical installation, the deadbolt requires initial configuration and pairing with your home's Wi-Fi network and the Schlage Home app (or compatible smart home platform). This process typically involves:
- Downloading the Schlage Home app.
- Creating an account or logging in.
- Following the in-app instructions to add your new deadbolt. This usually involves scanning a QR code or entering a pairing code found on the deadbolt or in the packaging.
- Connecting the deadbolt to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
Once paired, you can manage settings, create access codes, and monitor lock activity remotely.
2. Operating the Deadbolt
2.1 Locking and Unlocking
From the Exterior:
- To Lock: Press the Schlage button (top button on the touchscreen) or enter a valid access code and then press the Schlage button.
- To Unlock: Enter a valid 4-8 digit access code on the fingerprint-resistant, capacitive touchscreen. The deadbolt will retract.
From the Interior:
- To Lock/Unlock: Rotate the thumbturn.
2.2 Access Code Management
You can create and manage up to 100 unique access codes for family, friends, or service providers. This is done through the Schlage Home app. Refer to the app's help section for detailed instructions on adding, deleting, or modifying access codes.
2.3 Voice Control Integration
The Schlage Century Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt supports voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Ensure your deadbolt is linked to your Alexa or Google Home account through the respective apps. Once linked, you can use commands such as:
- "Alexa, lock the front door."
- "Hey Google, is the back door locked?"
Voice unlocking may require a spoken PIN for security purposes, which can be set up in the Alexa or Google Home app.
2.4 Built-in Alarm Technology
The deadbolt features built-in alarm technology that senses potential security breaches. This includes detecting forced entry attempts or tampering. Alarm sensitivity and notification settings can typically be adjusted within the Schlage Home app.
3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your deadbolt's touchscreen, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and electronic components.
3.2 Battery Replacement
The deadbolt requires batteries for operation. When the batteries are low, the lock will typically provide an audible and/or visual alert, and you will receive a notification via the Schlage Home app. To replace the batteries:
- Remove the interior cover of the deadbolt.
- Locate the battery pack.
- Remove the old batteries and dispose of them properly.
- Insert new, high-quality alkaline batteries (typically 4 AA batteries, though specific type should be confirmed in the printed guide).
- Replace the battery pack and interior cover.
It is recommended to replace all batteries at the same time to ensure consistent performance.
4. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Schlage BE489WBCCEN625 deadbolt, try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Lock not responding: Check the batteries. Replace them if they are low or depleted.
- Access code not working: Ensure you are entering the correct code. Verify the code's status in the Schlage Home app. The code might be expired or temporarily disabled.
- Deadbolt not connecting to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi router is on and within range. Check your network settings in the Schlage Home app. You may need to restart your router or the deadbolt.
- Alarm sounding unexpectedly: Check the alarm sensitivity settings in the Schlage Home app. Ensure the door is fully closed and secured.
- Mechanical issues: Ensure the deadbolt is properly aligned with the strike plate. Lubricate the latch and bolt with a silicone-based lubricant if movement is stiff.
For more complex issues, consult the comprehensive troubleshooting section in the Schlage Home app or on the official Schlage support website.
