2. Important Safety Information

WARNING: Before First Use – Register Your Administrator Fingerprint! It is critical to set up an Administrator fingerprint immediately after unboxing the lock. Until an Administrator fingerprint is registered, the lock will accept ANY fingerprint to open the door. This is a security measure to ensure initial setup. Failure to register an administrator fingerprint will leave your lock vulnerable.

Always ensure the door is properly closed and locked after entry or exit. Regularly check battery levels to avoid unexpected lockouts.
