Battery Replacement
Power source: 4 × AAA batteries.

Door will not open by handle: Confirm the clutch is engaged (successful fingerprint verification) and the door is not thumb-turn locked from inside.
Lock is unresponsive due to low battery: Connect 5V power to the Type-C port to power up, then replace batteries.
Locked out after multiple failed attempts: Wait 3 minutes for automatic release, then try again with a correct fingerprint.
