Yale Z-Wave Deadbolt Plays a Song

[Dan-O]

Weird thing has been happening every once in a while when locking my Yale Deadbolt via Z-Wave - It plays a little song for 3-4 seconds.
I looked in my documentation and I don't find anything.
The batteries are showing at 58% so I'm wondering if this is a friendly warning that my batteries are getting low?

Has anyone else experienced this song?

I've had mine for about 3 years now, I believe that sound is when the deadbolt cannot extend all the way.

Thanks for the reply.
When I say song, I mean a melody not the beep-boop beep-boop-beep-boop it does when the deadbolt is restricted.

So as an update, I replaced the batteries for piece of mind since they are over a year old. Wow, I forgot how fast the deadbolt closes!
I'm guessing now that the melody is a reminder to install fresh batteries.

I've never heard that and had my batteries below 10% before. I only get tones when restricted. I have audio off, do you have it on?

[Dan-O]

Audio is turned on.

If the bolt is jamming it will play a tune. Have a look at the attached link item 4

No really, it plays a tune. I mean literally a 5 second melody.
The video shows the deadbolt not moving and I've heard that before when I had to make some adjustments - I have heard that beep-boop beep-boop-beep-boop before.

I haven't heard the song since I swapped in new batteries so I bet it was a 'friendly' warning.
