Troubleshooting: Battery

The lock must be replaced. Contact Technical Support.

Latch and strike alignment

Make sure the correct deadbolt latch is installed, the latches and strikes 
on your door are aligned, and the hole in your door frame is drilled deep 
enough. See page 8 and page 9.

The Wireless Card LEDs are staying on.

Remove the battery pack, press and hold the program button for 10 
seconds. Replace the battery pack. If the Wireless Card LEDs continue 
to stay on, contact Technical Support.

The smart home system’s user interface falsely 

reports a low battery.

If you receive an alert from your smart home system indicating that 
the battery is low, confirm this is true at the lock. Turn on switch #1 so 
that the status LED flashes every six seconds. If the LEDs turn amber 
or green, followed by a red flash, the battery is low. If the red flash is 
not seen, the battery is not low. This is an error on the smart home 
system side that will often be fixed when the lock is manually locked or 
unlocked.

Latch/strike/binding

Make sure the correct deadbolt latch is installed, the latches and strikes 
on your door are aligned, and the hole in your door frame is drilled deep 
enough. See page 8 and page 9.

The smart home system controller’s 

communication with the lock is draining the 

battery.

Remove the lock from your system. Put a new set of batteries in the 
lock. Operate the lock in stand-alone mode for a week. If the batteries 
drain within the week, the problem resides in the lock. If the batteries do 
not drain, the problem may be the smart home controller. Call Technical 
Support.

The smart home system controller’s ping 

frequency is too high.

Decrease the ping frequency from the controller to the lock to the lowest 
possible setting.
