3.3 Infrared Sensing Considerations

The door lock's camera includes an infrared sensing function. To ensure optimal performance and battery life, avoid placing obstructions within 30 centimeters of the camera for extended periods. Such obstructions can cause continuous infrared sensing, leading to rapid battery depletion.

If an external door or object is present within 50cm of the camera, refer to the application scenarios below:

Application scenarios for infrared sensing with obstructions

Figure 3.3: Application Scenario 1: No obstruction within 50cm, direct installation. Application Scenario 2: Obstruction within 50cm, requiring a keyboard style wake-up door lock upgrade via the mobile app to prevent continuous infrared activation.

If an obstruction is present, activate the infrared light by pressing any key on the keypad to wake up the door lock before using palm recognition.

4. Operation

The Darawf K6-2 offers multiple convenient ways to unlock your door.

4.1 Unlocking Methods

  • Palm Recognition:

    To unlock using palm recognition, simply present your palm to the sensor. The lock identifies your unique vein patterns for quick and secure access. Ensure your palm is within the recognition range (approximately 120mm-250mm from the sensor).

  • Digital Code:

    Enter your pre-set digital code on the keypad, then press the '#' or 'Enter' key to unlock the door.

  • Bluetooth APP Control:

    Download the dedicated mobile application (refer to the quick start guide for app details). Pair your smartphone with the lock via Bluetooth to unlock remotely or manage settings.

  • Mechanical Key:

    In case of battery depletion or electronic malfunction, use one of the provided mechanical keys to unlock the door manually.

4.2 Auto-Lock Function

The lock is equipped with an auto-lock feature that automatically secures the door after a customizable delay. Refer to the mobile application or programming instructions for adjusting auto-lock settings.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your smart door lock.

5.1 Cleaning

  • Wipe the lock's exterior surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish and electronic components.
  • Keep the palm recognition sensor clean and free of debris for accurate scanning.

5.2 Battery Replacement

The Darawf K6-2 lock operates on AA batteries (not included). When the battery level is low, the lock will provide an audible or visual alert. Replace all batteries simultaneously with new, high-quality AA alkaline or lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are recommended for better performance in extreme temperatures and to prevent leakage.

  • Locate the battery compartment on the interior assembly of the lock.
  • Open the compartment cover.
  • Remove old batteries and dispose of them properly.
  • Insert new AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  • Close the battery compartment cover.

Note: If the lock continuously reports "low battery" even after replacing with new batteries, this may indicate a malfunction. Refer to the Troubleshooting section or contact customer support.
