according to the usual steps.
Q: Can I add new user codes?
A: Make sure that the entire code input process is completed within 10

master code has been correctly entered. When the capacity is full, no new user

codes. User codes must be 4 to 10 digits.
Q: Why is my keypad not responding?
A: First, make sure that the battery is installed correctly. If the
battery indicator light continues to flash, it means that the battery is about
to run out and needs to be replaced (use alkaline batteries only). Check if
the cable is connected to the port and not damaged during installation. Also,
please ensure that the lock is set up correctly and the latch direction is
determined.
Q: Why does the latch retract in and out several times when I try to
lock/unlock the deadbolt?
A: This happens when the latch and the lock bolt are not aligned. Please
make sure that the strike hole on the door frame is at least 1 inch deep so
that the bolt can fully extend. Please check that the door can close
correctly, and the deadbolt should not affect the bolt or door frame, it
should go straight into the strike hole.
Q: Why does my lock only work properly when the spare key is inserted?
Why can’t I remove the spare key while in the unlocked state?
A: You may need to reinstall the entire lock. Please make sure that the
lock is in the unlocked state at the beginning of the installation; please
make sure that the thumb turn is vertical. Please do not insert the spare key
into the lock.
