How Do I Know If the Battery Is Low on My Schlage Encode Lock?

Monitoring the battery status of your Schlage Encode lock (models BE489, BE499, FE789) is easy with the Schlage Home app and the lock’s built-in alerts. Here’s how you can stay informed and take action before the battery runs out:

Battery Status Notifications

Low Battery Alert:

• The Schlage Home app will notify you in the history log when the battery level drops to 20% or lower, giving you ample time to replace the batteries.

Critically Low Battery Alert:

• When the battery level reaches 8% or lower, the app will send a critical battery alert to the history log, prompting immediate action to prevent losing functionality.

Red Battery Icon for Critically Low Battery:

• When the batteries are critically low, the lock will flash a red battery icon before unlocking (after entering a code) or before locking (using the lock icon), indicating the need for immediate battery replacement to avoid losing functionality.
