5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Initial Setup and Administrator Registration

Upon first power-up, you will need to register an administrator fingerprint or password. Follow the voice prompts or app instructions to complete this process. The administrator has full control over user management and lock settings.

5.2 Unlocking Methods

• Fingerprint: Place your registered finger on the fingerprint sensor. The lock will unlock upon successful recognition.
• Password: Enter your registered password on the keypad, followed by the '#' key.
• IC Card: Present your registered IC card to the card reader area on the lock.
• APP Control (Tuya): Download the Tuya Smart app, pair your lock via Bluetooth, and use the app to unlock remotely (requires a Bluetooth gateway for remote access).
• Mechanical Key: In case of emergency or battery depletion, use the provided mechanical key to unlock the door.

5.3 Locking the Door

The lock will automatically engage after a short period once the door is closed. You can also manually lock it from the inside using the quick disengage anti-lock knob or by pressing a specific button on the keypad (refer to app or detailed manual for specific button). From the outside, simply close the door, and the lock will engage.

5.5 Battery Management

The lock operates on 4 AAA batteries, providing up to 6 months of battery life under normal usage. A low battery alarm will sound when the batteries need replacement. In case of complete battery depletion, use the mechanical key or connect a power bank via the Type-C emergency charging port for temporary power.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the lock surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and electronic components.
• Battery Replacement: Replace all 4 AAA batteries when the low battery alarm sounds. Use high-quality alkaline batteries for optimal performance.
• Fingerprint Sensor: Keep the fingerprint sensor clean and dry for accurate recognition.
• Mechanical Parts: Periodically check screws and connections to ensure they are secure. Do not lubricate the lock cylinder with oil-based lubricants; use graphite powder if necessary.
• Water Exposure: While the lock has an IPX5 waterproof rating, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or direct water jets to prevent potential damage.

7. Troubleshooting

• Lock not responding: Check battery levels. Replace batteries if low. If still unresponsive, use the Type-C emergency charging port with a power bank.

• Keypad not responding: Check for battery issues. Ensure no debris is obstructing the buttons.
• App connectivity issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Make sure the lock is within Bluetooth range. Restart the app and try re-pairing. If using Wi-Fi, ensure your Bluetooth gateway is properly configured and connected to your network.
• Lock does not engage/disengage properly: Check for any physical obstructions in the door frame or mortise. Ensure the lock body and strike plate are aligned correctly. Verify that the handle is installed correctly and not loose.
• Difficulty programming: Refer to the detailed programming instructions in the full user manual or the Tuya Smart app. Ensure you are following the steps precisely and that you are logged in as an administrator.
