The mobile application provides extensive control over password management:

3.3 Virtual Password Feature

To enhance security, the padlock supports a virtual password feature. You can enter random digits before and after your actual code. This makes it difficult for onlookers to discern your real password.

• Flexible Input: Allows input of up to 40 digits, with your correct password embedded within.

The padlock is powered by a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery. When the battery level is low, the app will provide a notification. Connect the padlock to a standard USB power source using the provided charging cable to recharge it.

4.2 Cleaning

Wipe the padlock's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or internal components. Ensure the charging port is dry before charging.

4.3 Environmental Considerations

While the padlock has an IP65 waterproof rating, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy rain, direct sunlight for extended periods, extreme cold) may affect its performance and lifespan. Ensure the padlock is installed in a location that offers some protection from the elements if possible.

  • Verify the numeric code.
  • Ensure you are pressing the "ON" button or equivalent to confirm the code.

  • Ensure the padlock is within Bluetooth range of your device.
  • Confirm Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.
  • Press any button on the padlock to wake it up and activate Bluetooth.
  • If issues persist, try removing the device from the app and re-pairing it.
