Bolt Direction Setup

After installing your lock, it’s crucial to determine the door’s orientation to ensure proper locking and unlocking functionality. This process teaches the lock whether your door opens to the right or left. Follow these precise steps:

• Insert three fresh batteries into the battery compartment; do not insert the fourth battery yet.
• Locate the reset pin or tool provided with your lock; typically, it’s a small pin-shaped object.
• Find the tiny pinhole labeled RES underneath the battery cover.
• Insert the pin into the hole, press and hold it firmly, then insert the fourth battery while still holding the pin.
• Continue to hold the pin until you hear a beep sound, indicating the latch bolt has extended and the orientation has been registered successfully. This completes the bolt direction setup.

How to Change the Default Master Code

Upon initial installation, the lock is set with a default master code 12345678. It is highly recommended to change this code to enhance security before proceeding with other configurations. Here are the detailed steps:

1. Press the TEEHO button twice in quick succession.
2. Enter the default master code: 12345678, then press the TEEHO button.
3. Press 1 to access the master code change menu.
4. Input your new master code, which should be between 4 and 10 digits, then press the TEEHO button.
5. Re-enter your new master code for confirmation and press the TEEHO button again.
6. If the lock flashes green, the new master code has been successfully set. If it flashes red, repeat the process, ensuring the new code is unique and properly entered.

Note: You can also update an existing master code by following the same procedure, starting with the double press of the TEEHO button and entering the current code first.

Adding User Codes for Multiple Users

Once your master code is configured, you can add multiple user access codes—up to 20 different entries. These codes are 4-10 digits long and allow family members or trusted individuals to unlock the door. Follow these instructions:

1. Press the TEEHO button twice to initiate programming mode.
2. Enter the master code, then press the TEEHO button.
3. Press 2 to add a user code.
4. Input the new user code, and press the TEEHO button.
5. Re-enter the same user code for confirmation and press the TEEHO button.
6. The lock flashes green, confirming the code has been stored successfully.
7. You may repeat these steps to add additional user codes as needed.

Removing a User Code

If you need to revoke access for a user, follow these steps:

1. Press the TEEHO button twice.
2. Enter the master code, then press the TEEHO button.
3. Press 3 to delete a user code.
4. Input the specific user code you wish to remove, then press the TEEHO button.
5. A green flash indicates the code has been successfully deleted.

Adding and Managing Fingerprints

To enroll a fingerprint, ensure your finger is clean and dry, then:

1. Press the TEEHO button twice.
2. Enter the master code, then press the TEEHO button.
3. Press 4 to add a fingerprint.
4. Scan your fingerprint eight times, lifting your finger between scans. Each accepted scan produces a beep.
5. Once completed, a green flash and a long beep confirm the fingerprint has been stored successfully.

To delete a fingerprint:

1. Press the TEEHO button twice.
2. Enter the master code, then press the TEEHO button.
3. Press 5 to delete a fingerprint.
4. Place the fingerprint you wish to remove on the scanner once.
5. A green flash and a long beep indicate successful removal.

Enabling and Disabling Auto-Lock

Auto-lock ensures your door secures itself automatically after a certain period. To activate this feature:

1. Press the TEEHO button twice.
2. Enter your master code, then press the TEEHO button.
3. Press 7 to access auto-lock settings.
4. To enable, press 1; to disable, press 2.
5. A green flash confirms the change.

Operational Lock and Unlock Procedures

Locking from Outside

• Press any key on the keypad for approximately three seconds to lock the door manually.
• If auto-lock is enabled, the lock will automatically engage after the preset delay (usually 30 seconds).
• Alternatively, use the physical key for manual locking.

Locking from Inside

• Rotate the interior turn handle or thumb turn to the lock position.
• If auto-relock is active, the lock will secure itself after a designated timeout period.

Unlocking from Outside

• Enter a registered user code or the master code on the keypad, then press the TEEHO button.
• Place your finger on the fingerprint scanner for biometric access.
• Optionally, unlock using the physical key if necessary.

Unlocking from Inside

• Rotate the interior turn handle or thumb turn to the unlocked position.

Vacation Mode Activation and Deactivation

When planning an extended absence, you can activate vacation mode to temporarily disable all user codes, preventing unauthorized access. To enable vacation mode:

1. Press the TEEHO button twice.
2. Enter your master code, then press the TEEHO button.
3. Press 8 to activate vacation mode.
4. A confirmation will indicate successful activation.

To deactivate vacation mode:

1. Enter your master code on the keypad.
2. Press the TEEHO button to exit vacation mode.

Resetting the Lock System

Perform a reset if your lock malfunctions or if the security codes are compromised. Keep in mind this process erases all user and master codes, requiring reprogramming from scratch:

1. Ensure the door is open and unlocked.
2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert the reset tool or a small pin into the reset button hole located beneath the battery area.
4. Press and hold the reset button, then remove one battery and reinsert it while still holding the button.
5. Release the reset button once you hear a long beep, indicating the reset is complete and the latch bolt extends to the lock position.
6. Replace the battery cover and reconfigure your lock from the beginning, starting with setting a new master code.

Final Recommendations and Troubleshooting

During programming, successful operations are indicated by green flashes, while errors or timeouts are signaled by red flashes. If you encounter issues, restart the process from the beginning and double-check your inputs.
