7. Insert Batteries and Attach Cover: Insert 4 AA alkaline batteries into the interior body. Attach the battery cover. The keypad should light up.
8. Install Door Sensor: Attach the magnet bracket sensor to the door frame within 1" x 2" of the lock. Ensure the sensor is operational and secure with screws. (Note: Installation is not recommended on iron doors).
