3. Setup and Installation

- Prepare the door by drilling necessary holes according to the template.

3.3 Initial Configuration
After physical installation, the lock requires initial configuration:
- Set Administrator: The first user registered (fingerprint, password, or card) will typically be designated as the administrator. This user has privileges to add or delete other users.
- Add Users: Follow the on-screen prompts or voice guidance to add additional fingerprints, PIN codes, or RFID cards for other users.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Unlocking with Fingerprint
Place your registered finger flat on the fingerprint sensor. The lock will unlock if the fingerprint is recognized.

4.2 Unlocking with PIN Code (Virtual Password)
To use the virtual password function, enter any random digits before and after your actual PIN code. This prevents others from observing your correct code.
- Example: If your correct PIN is 123456, you can enter 0000 + 123456 + 0000 to unlock the door. The lock will identify the correct sequence within the longer input.

4.4 Unlocking with Mechanical Key
In case of electronic failure or battery depletion, insert the mechanical key into the hidden keyhole and turn to unlock the door manually.
4.5 Unlocking with WeChat Applet
Refer to the specific instructions for connecting and operating the lock via the WeChat applet, usually found within the app itself after pairing.
4.6 User Management
Access the administrator menu (typically by entering the administrator PIN or fingerprint) to add, modify, or delete user fingerprints, PIN codes, and RFID cards. Consult the full installation guide for specific menu navigation steps.
5. Maintenance
