way to provide secure and convenient control of your deadbolt

allows you to grant or revoke access to a third party’s smartphone
by secure QR Code or email. This virtual key cannot be
duplicated or transferred to other devices. With GPS function and
correctly calibrating the EZSmart App, the App can identify indoor
and outdoor areas. This will prevent accidentally unlock from
"Touch unlock function".

guest to visit your house without giving them a physical key.

(member) virtual keys and 24 sets of Guest (temporary) virtual
keys.

Guest virtual keys can be assigned / withdraw by weeks,
hours and minutes by the Owner.

email (long distance) or QR Code (face-to-face). Each virtual

key will be deleted automatically from the FTBTLD lock when
it has expired.

an expiry date and a working distance of around 5 meters.

12
seconds to complete this task (the ‘>’ will appear as shown on
Fig-4).
Tip 1: If you have done the “FTBTLD soft reset / hardware reset”,
you have to delete lock from App first for all known devices, and this
will prevent previous devices try to pair with FTBTLD by using the
old encrypted virtual key. This can lockup the system from
Registration.
Tip 2: In order to get the correct Battery level, you have to perform
‘Unlock/Lock’ at least four times (only for registration mode).
Hint:
FTBTLD lock uses battery to drive the motor, it requires calibration
against each motor.
◢ Use passcode registration steps to complete the FTBTLD lock
registration. If Owner registration is successful within 10 seconds;
FTBTLD Lock will beep once to complete registration.
Tip:
If registration fails the first time, please use Hardware Reset
procedure and start over again. Or use correct passcode to register
again as shown on "Soft Reset with New Passcode" steps.
Caution
note: Incomplete hardware reset will go to "Auto Testing Mode",
which will indicate by continuously beeping sound. Please try it
again.
