The TurboLock TL113 is a Bluetooth-enabled bike lock designed to provide smart security for bicycles. It offers multiple methods for unlocking, including an Admin password, keypad passcodes, and control via the TurboLock Plus smartphone app.
Function Description:
The primary function of the TL113 is to secure a bicycle using a chain plug mechanism. Users can unlock the device by entering an Admin password or a user-defined keypad passcode directly on the lock's keypad. For enhanced control and convenience, the lock can be managed through the TurboLock Plus app, which allows for unlocking, creating and sending passcodes (E-Keys), and tracking unlocking records. The lock features a low-battery notification system, alerting users with three beeps when the battery is low, providing approximately 50 uses before full depletion. It also includes a "Passcode Disguise" security feature, allowing users to enter up to 12 digits, as long as the correct 6-digit password sequence is present within the entry, to prevent password theft. A "Mute Function" is available to disable all notifications except the low-battery warning, which should be used with caution and deactivated when no longer needed. The lock can be reset via the keypad, which reverts the Admin password to default, erases all keypad and user passcodes, and requires re-pairing with the app.
