5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Unlocking Methods

The visiPower Z17 offers multiple ways to unlock your door:

• Fingerprint Unlocking: Place your registered fingerprint on the sensor located on the handle. The lock will unlock in approximately 0.3 seconds. The lock utilizes a highly sensitive semiconductor 3D fingerprint sensor for efficient and accurate biometric identification.

• Passcode Unlocking: Enter your 6-12 digit passcode on the touchscreen keypad. The lock supports a 'void bit password' feature, allowing you to enter random digits before or after your actual code to prevent others from observing your password.

• IC Card Unlocking: Present a registered IC card to the designated sensor area on the lock.
• Mechanical Key Unlocking: In case of emergency or battery failure, use the provided mechanical keys to unlock the door.

• App Unlocking: Use the Tuya Smart app on your smartphone to remotely unlock the door. Note: Remote unlocking via the app is typically initiated when a visitor rings the doorbell. Active remote unlocking without a doorbell trigger may not be supported.

5.2 Automatic Locking

The lock can be configured to automatically secure itself after a set period, ranging from 3 to 900 seconds, once the door is closed.

5.3 User Management and Dual Verification

• Administrator Access: The local administrator has the highest authority, capable of editing and setting lock parameters. Up to 9 administrators (fingerprints, passwords, or cards) can be registered.
• User Capacity: The lock supports a total capacity of 300 users.
• Dual Verification Mode: For enhanced security, you can set up a dual verification mode requiring two users (e.g., two fingerprints, or a fingerprint and a password) to verify simultaneously before the door opens. This mode is suitable for special access requirements.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Power Supply

The lock is powered by 4 AA batteries (not included). Under normal usage, these batteries can last for approximately six months. When the battery level is low, the lock will issue a low-voltage alarm.

6.2 Emergency Power

If the batteries are completely depleted, you can provide emergency power to the lock using a 5V mobile power bank connected via the Type-C interface located at the bottom of the lock.

6.3 Cleaning

Wipe the lock's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.

7. Troubleshooting

• Lock Not Responding: Check battery levels. If low, replace batteries or use emergency Type-C power.
• Incorrect Input Alarm: After multiple incorrect fingerprint or passcode attempts, the lock will trigger an alarm and push a notification to your phone. The lock will be temporarily locked for 90 seconds before another attempt can be made.
• Anti-Lifting Alarm: The lock is equipped with an anti-lifting alarm that will activate if tampering is detected.
• Fingerprint Recognition Issues: Ensure your finger is clean and dry. Re-register your fingerprint if issues persist.
• App Connectivity Issues: Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is enabled and the lock is within range. Check your Wi-Fi connection for remote access.
