Oct. 09, 2024

Capture the essence of autumn with ease. Here’s an "Autumn Smart Lock Usage Guide" to ensure you enjoy your outings with peace of mind.


01. Smart Lock Tips for Autumn


— Regular Cleaning

As your home's security device, the smart lock may accumulate dirt over time. With autumn being a season of frequent wind and dust, it’s important to regularly wipe the front and rear panels with a soft, dry cloth. Pay special attention to the camera and fingerprint reader to avoid issues with face and fingerprint recognition, and ensure the peephole camera stays clear for sharp monitoring.


— Watch for Moisture

Autumn is also a rainy, humid season. To prevent issues like short circuits or electric leakage, regularly check for moisture in the battery and battery compartment, and ensure the charging port stays clean and dry.
