When your Schlage Connect™ Smart Deadbolt blinks a red X, it is indicating that the battery is low and needs to be replaced. This is an important signal because if the battery dies completely, you may not be able to unlock your door using the keypad or the app.
To change the batteries, you will need four new AA alkaline batteries. These can be easily found at most stores that sell batteries. It’s a good idea to have some extras on hand, so you can quickly replace them when needed.
First, locate the interior side of the lock. This is the side of the lock that faces the inside of your home. You may need to remove the cover or keypad to access the battery compartment. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on how to remove the cover or keypad.
Once you have access to the battery compartment, you will see a slot where the batteries are inserted. Take out the old batteries and dispose of them properly. It is important to use new, high-quality AA alkaline batteries to ensure optimal performance.
Insert the new batteries into the slot, paying attention to the correct polarity. The positive (+) and negative (-) symbols on the battery compartment should align with the corresponding symbols on the batteries. Make sure the batteries are securely in place.
After replacing the batteries, close the battery compartment and reattach the cover or keypad. Ensure that everything is properly secured.
Once the new batteries are installed, the red X should stop flashing, indicating that the battery level is now sufficient. It’s a good idea to test the lock by entering a code or using the app to ensure that it is functioning properly.
Remember to keep an eye on the battery level and replace the batteries as soon as the red X starts flashing again. Regularly checking the battery level and replacing batteries when necessary will help ensure that your Schlage Connect™ Smart Deadbolt continues to function reliably.
