Unlocking Methods:
- Palm Vein Recognition:
To unlock using palm recognition, simply wave your hand in front of the sensor. The lock will scan your unique palm vein pattern. The recognition range is approximately 120mm-250mm from the sensor. This method is contactless and highly accurate, functioning reliably even with wet, dusty, or aged hands. It is suitable for users of all ages.

- Passcode Unlocking:
Enter your pre-programmed passcode on the digital keypad. Press the checkmark button after entering the code to confirm and unlock the door.
- Remote Unlocking (via App):
If the smart lock is connected to your home Wi-Fi network and paired with the compatible mobile application, you can unlock the door remotely using your smartphone. Refer to the "Programming Instructions" for app setup and usage.
- Key Unlocking:
For traditional access or in case of power failure, use one of the provided physical keys to manually unlock the deadbolt.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Darawf K9-001 Smart Lock, regular maintenance is recommended.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the keypad and palm recognition sensor with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or electronic components.
- Battery Replacement: The lock operates on batteries (not included). Monitor the battery level indicator (if available via app or on the lock itself) and replace batteries promptly when low to prevent loss of function. Always use high-quality alkaline batteries.
- Mechanical Check: Periodically check that the deadbolt operates smoothly and that all screws are securely fastened.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your smart lock.
Issue: Rapid Battery Drain due to Infrared Sensing
The door lock camera has an infrared sensing function. If there is another door or object blocking the sensor within a 30-centimeter range for an extended period, the infrared sensing may remain active, leading to rapid battery consumption.
- Solution:
- Ensure no permanent obstructions are within 30cm of the camera sensor.
- If an external door or obstruction is unavoidable, refer to the product's video instructions (if provided with the product) for guidance on upgrading the product's settings to a keyboard-style wake-up mode via the mobile app. In this mode, the infrared light activates only after a key on the keypad is pressed, reducing continuous sensing.

Image: Two scenarios illustrating the infrared sensor's operation. Scenario 1 shows no obstruction, allowing default installation. Scenario 2 shows an obstruction within 50cm, requiring an upgrade to keyboard-style wake-up via the mobile app to prevent continuous infrared activation.
General Troubleshooting Tips:
- Lock Not Responding: Check battery levels and replace if necessary. Ensure the lock is properly installed and all connections are secure.
- Palm Recognition Failure: Ensure your hand is clean and positioned correctly within the recognition range (120mm-250mm). Re-register your palm if issues persist.
- Passcode Not Working: Verify the correct passcode is being entered. Ensure the keypad is clean and responsive.
- App Connectivity Issues: Check your Wi-Fi connection and ensure the lock is within range of your router. Restart the app and the lock if necessary.
