Yes — on many AUSLOCK models, the keypad backlight turns on after touch to save battery.
The keypad stays “asleep” until you tap or touch it. This reduces battery drain and improves overall runtime.
How to wake the keypad
- Tap the keypad once to wake it.
- Wait for the lights/sound, then enter your code or use your access method.
If the keypad still doesn’t light up
- Replace batteries with fresh, quality batteries.
- Check battery polarity (+/-).
- Make sure the internal cable/connectors are seated properly (if applicable).
Note: Some models use different wake methods depending on firmware/app settings.
