Device Installation Guide

1. Measure the backset: Determine the distance from the door edge to the center of the deadbolt hole. It should be 2 3/8 inches (60 mm) or 2 3/4 inches (70 mm).
2. Adjust the latch: Based on the measurement, install the latch directly if it's 2 3/8 inches (60 mm). If it's 2 3/4 inches (70 mm), rotate the latch 180 degrees to extend its length.
3. Fix the latch: Ensure the "TOP" indicator on the latch is facing upwards.
4. Install the strike plate: Attach the strike plate to the door frame. Options for square or rounded faceplates and strike plates are available.
5. Mount the outer panel: Pass the outer panel connector cable through the deadbolt and secure the outer panel using the mounting plate and opposite-pull screw. After installation, rotate the tailpiece to ensure smooth locking/unlocking. If there's resistance, check the tailpiece alignment and for interference.
6. Prepare for inner panel: Remove the battery cover and then detach the knob cover using the removal tool.
7. Connect to inner panel: Secure the outer panel's connector cable to the inner panel.
8. Install the inner panel: Fix the inner panel to the mounting plate indoors and cover the knob.
9. Final Check: Once batteries are installed, a voice prompt will confirm the installation is complete.
