3.1. Unboxing and Component Check
Carefully unpack all components from the box. Verify that all parts listed in the packing list are present and undamaged. This typically includes the front and rear lock assemblies, mortise, strike plate, screws, batteries, and installation template.
3.2. Battery Installation
Locate the battery compartment on the rear lock assembly. Insert the required number of batteries (typically AA) according to the polarity indicators (+/-). Ensure the battery cover is securely closed.
3.3. Door Preparation
Use the provided installation template to mark and drill holes on your door. Ensure the door thickness and backset are compatible with the lock's specifications. If replacing an existing lock, ensure the existing holes align or can be adapted.
3.4. Physical Installation
Install the mortise into the door edge. Connect the front and rear lock assemblies, feeding the necessary cables through the door. Secure the assemblies with screws, ensuring they are level and aligned. Install the strike plate on the door frame.
3.5. Initial Setup and App Pairing
Follow the on-screen prompts on the lock's display (if available) or refer to the quick start guide for initial setup. Download the Philips Easy Key app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to pair your smart lock with your Wi-Fi network and register your administrator account. This will allow you to add users, set up face recognition, fingerprints, and PIN codes.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Unlocking Methods
- 3D Face Recognition: Approach the lock. The ultrasonic sensor will detect your presence, and the face recognition module will activate. Position your face within the designated area until recognition is successful. The lock will then unlock automatically.
- Fingerprint: Grasp the handle. Your fingertip will naturally rest on the hidden fingerprint sensor. Hold your finger on the sensor until authentication is successful, then push or pull the handle to open.
- PIN Code: Touch the keypad to activate it. Enter your registered PIN code followed by the '#' key. If correct, the lock will unlock.
- Dual Verification Mode: If enabled, you will need to provide two forms of authentication (e.g., face + fingerprint, or PIN + fingerprint) to unlock the door. Follow the prompts on the lock's display.
- Temporary PIN Codes: Generate temporary PIN codes via the Philips Easy Key app for guests or service providers. These codes can be set with specific validity periods.
4.2. Locking the Door
The Philips DDL702-8HWS features fully automatic locking. Simply close the door, and the lock will automatically engage the deadbolt after a few seconds. You can verify the lock status via the mobile app.

The lock will provide a low battery alert when power is running low. Replace all batteries simultaneously with new, high-quality alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types.
5.2. Cleaning
Clean the lock's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and electronic components. Regularly wipe the face recognition lens and fingerprint sensor to ensure optimal performance.
