Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Avia Smart SolarPro, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|

| Smart Lock battery not charging or draining quickly. | Dirty solar panel surface. | Clean the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. |
| Smart Lock battery not charging or draining quickly. | Loose or damaged connector cable. | Check the connection between the solar panel and the Deadbolt+ Smart Lock. Ensure the cable is securely plugged in and inspect for any visible damage. Replace if damaged. |
| Smart Lock battery not charging or draining quickly. | Prolonged periods of low light (e.g., cloudy weather, winter). | During extended periods of low light, the solar panel's charging capacity may be reduced.
