KEVO OVERVIEW
The Kevo lock communicates via Bluetooth wireless technology with your
smart device (phone, tablet or other mobile internet-connected device) or Kevo
fob, which can stay in your pocket or purse during lock operation. When you
touch the Kevo lock from the outside of the door, it recognizes your Kevo
enabled smart device or Kevo fob and locks or unlocks the door.
You may choose to use only Kevo fobs, only smart devices, or a mix of both in
your Kevo system. In order for your smart device to connect to the lock, you will
need to download the Kevo mobile app. The app acts as your virtual key and
runs in the background without you even having to remove it from your pocket
or purse to unlock the door. You can grant family and friends access to your Kevo
lock by giving them Kevo fobs or sending eKeys to their smart devices. Kevo
eKeys can be sent or disabled at any time through the Kevo app or web portal.
The Kevo lock can always be locked and unlocked with a standard key as needed.
You can use the SmartKey tool to rekey your lock so it works with your existing
Kwikset key. See the SmartKey rekey instructions for more information.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Smart Devices
All smartphones will be configured through the Kevo app. The first phone you
setup with the lock will become the Owner of the lock. You can send eKeys to
friends and family with compatible smartphones and use the app to decide who
receives Admin rights in your system.
Like an Owner, an Admin user can send, disable and delete eKeys and enroll
Kevo fobs. An Admin user can delete other Admins, but they cannot delete
the Owner or the lock from the system. All other users can lock and unlock
the Kevo lock, but they cannot manage eKeys.
Configuring the Kevo Lock’s First Smartphone
Once the Kevo app is installed on your phone, follow the instructions inside the
app to create an account and set up your phone to work with the lock. Your
phone will become the Owner of the lock.
Calibrating Your Phone
When you set up your lock’s first phone, the app will prompt you to calibrate your
phone. The calibration process will help the Kevo lock learn where you normally
carry your phone while locking and unlocking the door. If you experience
any issues while trying to lock or unlock the door in the future, perform the
calibration process again from within the app.
When the light ring flashes magenta while you’re trying to lock or unlock the door, the
Kevo lock senses your phone is out of activation range. If this happens frequently, this
is an indication that you should perform the calibration process again.
Note: Activation range refers to the area close to the Kevo lock in which the lock
can detect your device and respond to touch. The calibration process can help
fine tune this range.
Note: The calibration process must be performed while you are standing next to
the Kevo lock.
WARNING: Fine tuning your Kevo lock’s activation range is an important
security measure, especially if part of your home extends into the activation
range. If you keep your phone near the Kevo lock, test to ensure your device
is not being detected within activation range, and perform the calibration
process to shorten this range.
Note: Throughout this manual, smart devices (phones, tablets and mobile
internet-connected devices) will be referred to as “smartphones” or “phones.”

Disabling Your Lost or Stolen Smartphone
If your phone is lost or stolen, use the Kevo web portal to delete or disable your
old phone: www.kwiksetkevo.com
Transferring Your Information to a New Phone
When you get a new phone, download the Kevo app and sign in. All of
your settings will be transferred to your new phone and deleted from
your former phone.
eKeys
When you set up your phone to work with the lock, an eKey is automatically
added to your account so you can send it to a friend or family member with a
compatible smartphone. Owners and Admin users can purchase additional eKeys
as needed through the app.
Sending an eKey
To send an eKey, navigate to the “Send eKey” section of the app and follow
the prompts.
Once someone receives an eKey, they will see the eKey listed as Pending in the
Kevo app. The eKey receiver must Accept the eKey inside the app.
Calibrating an eKey Receiver’s Smartphone
If an eKey receiver is a frequent user of your lock, it is recommended
that they run the app’s calibration process to help the Kevo lock better
communicate with their phone. This will not affect the calibration settings of
other users in the system.
When the light ring flashes magenta while an eKey user is trying to lock or
unlock the door, the Kevo lock senses their phone is out of activation range.
If this happens frequently, this is an indication that they should perform the
calibration process again from within the Kevo app.
Disabling an eKey
You can disable an eKey from an individual user within the app. Disabling an
eKey will temporarily disallow access to the Kevo lock until you re-enable it.
Deleting an eKey
Deleting a user’s eKey will permanently remove that eKey from your Kevo system.
Note: If you wish to add a user back after you delete their eKey, you will need to
purchase a new eKey inside the app.

Fobs
The Kevo fob that came with your Kevo lock is already enrolled in the lock, but it
is recommended that you perform the calibration process below.
Note: You can purchase additional Kevo fobs as needed.
Note: In order to have a mix of smartphones and fobs in your Kevo system, a
Kevo compatible smartphone must be designated as the Owner of the lock.
See page 7.
Kevo Fob Calibration
The calibration process will help the Kevo lock learn where you normally
carry your fob while locking and unlocking the door. If you experience any
issues while trying to lock or unlock the door in the future, perform this
calibration process again.
WARNING: Fine tuning your Kevo lock’s activation range is an important
security measure, especially if part of your home extends into the activation
range. If you keep your fob near the Kevo lock, test to ensure your device
is not being detected within activation range, and perform the calibration
process to shorten this range.
Tip: It is recommended that this procedure is performed with each fob in your
system. This will not affect the calibration settings of other users in the system.
1. To put the lock in calibration mode, take the battery cover off the lock. Press
the Calibrate button once, then hold your fob close against the back panel
until you hear one beep.
2. Close the door, stand outside in front of the Kevo lock, and place your fob
where you would normally keep it (pocket, purse, bag, etc.).
The light ring will spin green. When it turns solid green, touch the deadbolt
rose. Repeat this touch sequence two more times.
After the third touch, the light ring will flash green. Your fob is now calibrated.
Perform touch sequence three times. flashing green:
