Does summer sweating leads to Fingerprint recognition insensitive? You need to do this.

Oct. 13, 2022

It is always rainy in June! The summer heating not only getting to us but also getting to our smart lock at home. Are your smart locks all right when facing the scorching sun and wet rainy days? What should we pay attention to when we use them in daily life?


In the sweaty summer

What we should do if fingerprint recognition is insensitive?


When we sweat profusely after walking under the hot sun, sometimes the fingerprint recognition is insensitive mainly because of the sweat stains on the fingerprint sensor. We can wipe the sensor with a soft dry cloth. Do not use the cleanser with corrosive material or steel wool, or will damage or scratch the fingerprint sensor, leading to low fingerprint recognition efficiency.

Of course, Philips EasyKey supports hidden PIN codes, CPU key tags, and other unlock methods. Among them, DDL702-8HW also supports facial recognition unlocking, allowing you to get home to rest faster on the blistering summer day.


Frequent thunderstorms in summer

What should we do to prevent battery leakage?


Thunderstorms are frequent this year, especially in the south. The smart lock batteries are easy to leakage affected by dampness, thus the battery compartments and battery panels are corroded, further leading to short-circuit, and abnormal power consumption.

Therefore, we need to check the service condition of the battery at regular intervals. Once the battery is affected by dampness needs to be taken out, and wipe with a dry soft cloth, keep it dry all the time. Once the battery is already soft needs to be replaced right away. Notice that do not mix the new and old batteries. Once the battery compartment is affected by dampness needs to be blown by the hair dryer for 2 minutes to 3 minutes. Notice that does not blow on with the hot wind.

The visual smart lock normally matches the lithium battery which supports cycle charging. However, it is too hot in summer, and lithium batteries should not charge in high-temperature conditions or for a long time. Furthermore, it needs to stay away from the cotton, and cut off power timely after it finishes charging.


Three-piece sets go out in summer

Keys deposits are necessary


Keys, mobile phones, and slippers have become the three-piece set for most people going out in summer. However, by replacing the smart lock early, you must have gotten rid of the keys. We still need to notice that Philips EasyKey equips the mechanical key mainly used for emergency unlock, which is rarely used, but necessary.

 

Therefore, we better place the mechanical key in a position outside our home, like the office, the car, or the family home, to cope with the situation when the smart lock is abnormal due to being locked outside.


In a word, we need to pay attention to routine maintenance and usage, rendering the smart lock more stable and durable to protect our security.
