- Resetting the Door Knob: The door knob can be reset by removing the interior cover, pressing and holding the Reset Button until a long beep and green light are heard/seen. The knob will then reboot, and another long beep with green light will confirm a successful reset. This action will restore the default administrator passcode and clear all user settings.

- Important Safeguards:
- Set a user code for daily use to limit exposure of the administrator code.
- Double-check recipient when sending user codes.
- Dispose of used batteries according to local laws.
- Prevent water and liquids from entering electrical components.
- Routinely check the administrator code to ensure it hasn't been altered by unauthorized access to the interior assembly, as a factory reset can be performed from there.
- The manufacturer advises that no lock provides complete security by itself and recommends consulting a qualified locksmith for enhanced security.
