Schlage Connect Homeowner's Manual

1. Overview
Note: This Guide is based on the Schlage Connect™ Lock installed at the entry to the author's
unit in the Avery 4 building
The Schlage Connect™ Lock on your front door is a high security deadbolt lock. There are a
number of valuable features to increase your security, which you can program in. A few of
these are:
• Use of codes to lock and unlock. Multiple different codes can be entered by the owner:
for entry by the homeowner, other household members, cleaning staff, etc. Codes can
be changed by the owner.
• Alarms for when door is opened or closed (short beeps); when tampered with (loud 15
second alarm); and when forced entry is attempted (3 minute shrill and steady alarm)
• Auto-lock feature: when enabled, door will automatically lock 30 seconds after
unlocking
• Vacation mode: disables all user codes. This prevents all assigned user codes from
activating the lock (you can still enter using one of two default codes which are pre-
assigned).
2. Battery Replacement (annual replacement is recommended)
Refer to figure 1. 4 AA batteries are required. The manufacturer recommends high quality
alkaline batteries, not lithium batteries. Change yearly to ensure reliable operation.
not dispose of used batteries in the trash. Put them in a plastic Recology bag and, when full,
take to City Hall to recycle. You can get another bag at City Hall.
• From inside your unit, slide the black outer lock cover up, exposing the battery tray and
electronics
•
Remove the 'snap connector', remove old batteries, and install new batteries in the
tray. Note: that batteries must be installed with correct polarity (noted in the battery
tray)
• Snap the electrical connector back in place and slide the tray back into the unit.
• Replace the black outer lock cover by pushing down
• Note the date when changed and schedule replacement for the next year.
3. Other Maintenance
In general, no other periodic maintenance is needed. The manual mentions cleaning the
touchscreen occasionally, and the deadbolt. Refer to your manual for details.
