4.2. Attach the Mounting Plate

1. Place the new mounting plate on the interior of the door.
2. Insert the mounting screws that were previously removed from the thumb turn to secure the mounting plate. Ensure the tailpiece is horizontal and in the middle of the hole.

4.3. Choose and Attach Correct Mounting Adapter

1. There are four adapters provided. Check the shape of the tailpiece protruding through the latch and select the appropriate adapter.
2. Place the correct adapter into the tailpiece. One of the triangle shaped nubs should face up if you have the correct adapter. Keep the nub horizontal and in the middle of the hole.

4.4. Prepare Your Retrofit Lock

1. Remove the battery cover by pressing down on the dot on the battery cover, then grab the bottom of the battery cover to remove it.
2. While holding the batteries in place, remove the plastic battery isolation tab. Make sure that the batteries are properly seated in its compartment. Place the battery cover back onto the smart lock.
3. Press and hold the Reset Button for at least 5 seconds until you hear a voice prompt "Ready to install the lock."

4.5. Rotate the Outer Shell to the Correct Orientation

Ensure to stand in the room and face the door during installation. The batteries are kept perpendicular to the ground.

• When the Hinges are on the left side of the door, rotate the Thumb Turn towards the extreme left.
• When the Hinges are on the right side of the door, rotate the Thumb Turn towards the extreme right.

4.6. Open the Wing Latches

Keep your door in the unlocked position. Pull out both side wing latches to prepare for mounting.

4.7. Attach the Philips Wi-Fi Retrofit Lock

Align the lock with the mounting plate and push it firmly until it clicks into place.

4.8. Door Sensor Precautions

The door sensor, which includes a sensor and a magnet, detects if the door is open or closed and automatically locks it when shut.

• Ensure the center of the sensor aligns with the center of the magnet.
• The distance between the sensor and magnet should be less than 20mm.
• When installing on a metal door frame, it may impact the performance of the door sensor. Reduce the gap between the magnet and sensor accordingly for optimal results.
• The distance between the sensor and retrofit lock should be less than 1 meter.
