Maintenance Features:

Battery Replacement: The device uses 4 AA Alkaline batteries. When batteries are low, a warning (5 red blinks and 5 beeps) will be issued. It is crucial to replace batteries immediately upon warning.
Emergency Power: If batteries die due to long idle time, a USB-C cable can be used with a power bank to provide temporary power for unlocking. After unlocking, new batteries should be installed immediately.
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.
Backup Keys: The Vaulta K1 comes with physical backup keys, which are essential for unlocking the door if passcodes are forgotten or in case of electronic malfunction. Users are advised to always have access to their standard key.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides guidance for common issues such as no indicator/sound response (check cable, battery polarity, power, silent mode) and latch/bolt issues (check hole size, latch installation, knob alignment, strike plate alignment/depth).
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.
