2. Check the device settings

• The security code prevents your guests from changing settings and permissions for your Smart Lock. Learn more about the security code.
  If you haven't set a Security Code during setup, do so now via the Nuki App.

• By disabling Bluetooth pairing you prevent guests from pairing the Smart Lock with another smartphone.
  Disable Bluetooth pairing under ”Features & Configuration” > ”Button & LED” > ”Bluetooth Pairing”.
• We recommend the Nuki Power Pack for optimal power supply for your Smart Lock.
