5.Fail to recognize my fingerprint

Possible causes:

  • The battery is discharged
  • the finger has dirt or liquid
  • the fingerprint scanner is not sensitive
Solutions:
  • Change the batteries and try again

  • Clean your finger to ensure you’ll be able to unlock your door using the fingerprint scanner without issues.
  • There're various ways to enhance the sensitivity of fingerprint recognition in smart locks:

Clean and Maintain the Sensor:

         The fingerprint sensor is the heart of the recognition system, and its cleanliness and condition directly impact its performance. Regularly clean the sensor with a soft, lint-free cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface. Ensure that the sensor is free from dirt, oil, and other contaminants that can interfere with the scanning process.

Proper Finger Placement:

         The way you place your finger on the sensor can significantly affect its ability to accurately recognize your print. Make sure to place your finger flat and evenly on the sensor, pressing firmly but not excessively. Avoid using the side of your finger or touching the sensor with multiple fingers simultaneously, as this can confuse the recognition system.
Enroll Multiple Fingerprints:

         Most smart locks allow you to enroll multiple fingerprints for each user. By enrolling multiple prints (ideally from different fingers), you increase the chances of successful recognition, even if one or two prints are not fully recognizable due to factors like skin moisture or minor injuries.

Update Firmware and Software:

         Manufacturers continuously improve their fingerprint recognition algorithms through firmware and software updates. Keep your smart lock up-to-date with the latest updates to benefit from these improvements. Updated software can enhance sensitivity, accuracy, and overall performance.5.Consider Environmental Factors:

         Environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, and even the presence of certain chemicals can affect the quality of fingerprint scans. If you live in an area with extreme weather conditions or are frequently exposed to certain chemicals, consider taking extra precautions to protect your fingers and the sensor from these factors.

B200 Troubleshooting

1.Fail to connect to Bluetooth

         If your smart lock isn't connecting to your phone's Bluetooth, follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  • Check battery level:Make sure that your lock has enough battery power. A low battery level can hinder the Bluetooth connection. Also, ensure that you are close enough to the lock. Bluetooth connections work best when the devices are within a close range (within one meter).
  • Check Bluetooth Settings:Ensure that Bluetooth is turned on in your phone's settings and verify that the smart lock app has permission to access Bluetooth.
  • Restart Your Devices:Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.pls consult your smart lock's manual for instructions on how to perform a reset.

2.Fail to connect  2.4 Ghz network

         Before connect to 2.4 Ghz ,pls check if the frequence band of router is 2.4 Ghz:

  • Check the Router's Model and Specifications

         The most straightforward way is to read your router's manual or check its specifications online. Most router manufacturers list the supported frequency bands prominently on their product pages or in the documentation. By typing your router's model number into a search engine, you can often find detailed information about its features, including the frequency bands it supports.

  • Look for Physical Indicators

         While not all routers have explicit indicators for their frequency bands, some models might have Check the router's body or the LED lights on the front for any mention of 2.4GHz, 5GHz, or a combined label indicating dual-band support. Keep in mind that the absence of such indicators doesn't necessarily mean your router doesn't support a particular frequency band.

  • Log into Your Router's Admin Panel

         Almost every router comes with a web-based administrative interface where you can manage your network settings. To access there, you'll typically need to type the router's IP address into a web browser and log in using the default username and password (these can often be found in the router's manual or on the manufacturer's website).Once inside, navigate to the settings related to wireless networks. Here, you should be able to see the list of available networks (also known as SSIDs) configured on your router. Each network will typically indicate its frequency band (e.g., "MyHome-2.4G" and "MyHome-5G" for dual-band routers).

  • Use a Wireless Scanner or Network Analyzer

         If you prefer a more automated way, you can use a wireless scanner or network analyzer tool on your computer or smartphone. These tools can scan the local area for available wireless networks and display information about each network, including its frequency band.For example, on Windows, you can use the built-in Network and Sharing Center to view available networks, although it might not always show the frequency band. For more detailed information, consider downloading a third-party tool like inSSIDer or WiFi Analyzer (available for Android and iOS).

         After connecting, it's important to verify that your device is indeed connected to the 2.4GHz network. Depending on your device's operating system, there are several ways to do this:

  • Android and iOS: Go to the Wi-Fi settings and look for the connected network. Tap on the network name to view more details, including the frequency band.
  • Windows: Open the Command Prompt and type netsh WLAN show interfaces to see a list of wireless interfaces and their properties. Alternatively, you can use third-party software like WiFiInfoView to get detailed information about your Wi-Fi connection.
  • MacOS: Open the Network preferences and click on the Wi-Fi service. Look for the Advanced button and select the Wi-Fi tab. Here, you can see the channel number, which can give you an indication of the frequency band.

3.The G2 Gateway cannot connect to my lock

         Actually,the connection between G2 Gateway and lock is established automatically,when you pair the G2 Gateway successfully,it will starts to search the locks already connected ,If not,try to unlock and lock once via Bluetooth,the connection will be established in general.
