7. Maintenance

7.1 Battery Replacement

The lock is powered by 4 AA batteries, which can last up to 6 months under normal usage. The Smart Life APP will notify you when the battery level is low, prompting you to replace them. Always replace all four batteries simultaneously with new, high-quality alkaline AA batteries.

7.2 Cleaning and Care

Clean the lock's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or electronic components. Ensure the fingerprint sensor and keypad are kept clean for optimal performance.

8. Troubleshooting

  • Lock not responding: Check battery level in the Smart Life APP or replace batteries. If still unresponsive, use the mechanical key.
  • Incorrect passcode lockout: If an incorrect passcode is entered 5 times consecutively, the keypad will lock for 3 minutes as a security measure. Wait for the lockout period to expire before attempting again.
  • Remote control issues: Ensure the WiFi gateway is properly connected to your home network and within range of the smart lock. If the lock is installed on a metal door, signal interference may occur, affecting remote functionality.
  • Fingerprint not recognized: Ensure your finger is clean and dry. Re-register your fingerprint if issues persist.
