Battery FAQ

How long will the lock operate on a set of 
batteries?

Based on 10 operations per day, a single, new set of Alkaline batteries 
will operate the lock for over a year.

What type of batteries do you recommend?

For best results, use new non-rechargeable Alkaline batteries only.

I am planning to be away for several months. 
Will my lock operate when I get back?

When the system is idling, it consumes minimum power (very close to 
battery shelf life.) With alkaline batteries, the lock should be operable 
after years of idle. 

I replaced my batteries less than a year ago 
and need to replace them again.

Check your door alignment. If the deadbolt makes several unsuccessful 
attempts to lock or unlock the door, it may mean that the door is warped 
and the latch does not line up correctly with the strike. Operating the 
lock excessively reduces battery life. Avoid turning on the keypad light 
unnecessarily.

What settings should I use to get the 
maximum battery life out of my lock?

Set switches #1, #2, and #3 to the OFF position.
