4.3 Lock Modes

The Lockin smart door knob supports three operational modes to suit different situations:

Figure 4.4: Explanation of the three lock modes: Passage mode (always unlocked), Normal mode (auto-lock), and Privacy mode (double-lock, administrator access only).

• Passage Mode: The door remains unlocked and can be opened without verification. Ideal for high-traffic areas or when you don't need security.
• Normal Mode (with auto-lock): After unlocking, the door will automatically re-lock within 5 seconds of detecting it is closed. This is the standard secure mode.
• Privacy Mode: Activated by turning the thumb turn to the lock icon on the interior side. In this mode, the lock is double-locked, and only the administrator's fingerprint or physical key can unlock it from the outside, providing enhanced privacy and security.

4.4 Emergency Charging

In case the battery runs low, the smart lock can be temporarily powered via a USB Type-C cable for emergency unlocking.

• Connect a USB Type-C cable to the charging port on the exterior assembly of the lock.
• Connect the other end of the cable to a power source (e.g., power bank, USB charger).
• The LED indicator will flash blue during charging. Once sufficient power is supplied, you can use a registered fingerprint or password to unlock the door.
• A full charge typically takes 3-5 hours, and the LED indicator turns green when fully charged.

5. Maintenance

• Battery Charging: Recharge the internal 400mAh lithium battery when the low battery indicator appears or approximately every 6 months with typical use. Use the provided USB Type-C cable.
• Cleaning: Wipe the lock's surface with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture.
• Fingerprint Sensor: Keep the fingerprint sensor clean and free of dirt or debris to ensure accurate recognition.
