Quick guide from the manual

The Yale 1153MHK is an advanced smart door lock featuring multiple unlocking methods, including facial recognition, palm vein, fingerprint, key card, password, and app remote access. Before using the device, ensure the door is not deformed, as this can cause friction with the latch. At least one administrator must be registered before adding regular users. The lock requires a 2.4G Wi-Fi network for app integration.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Maintenance: Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, alcohol, or acidic chemicals. Regularly apply lubricant to moving parts.

Emergency Power: If the battery is too low to unlock, use an external DC5V (Type-C) power supply to provide emergency power.

Troubleshooting: If the door latch does not extend fully, check for door deformation and adjust the strike plate position. If the system encounters errors three times, it triggers an alarm; five errors will lock the device for 90 seconds.
