If your print is not accepted:
you will see 1 light flash with 1
sound. This means the scanner

8. PROGRAMMING ADDITIONAL FINGERPRINTS
INDICATOR RING
INDIVIDUALLY MAPPING ALL
ZONES OF YOUR FINGERPRINT
WILL ENSURE A RELIABLE
READING BY THE SCANNER.
To ensure each programming
sequence is properly captured, it
needs to read the exact same place
on your finger four mes in a row,
once successful you can move onto
the next zone of your fingerprint.
This counts as one programmed
fingerprint of 100 fingerprints this
unit can keep in memory.
Once programming sequence has
been successfully completed, you
can move onto the next zone of your
fingerprint.
TIP

When accessing your vault quickly, there is a chance you may touch
the scanner with a part of your finger that you have not registered before.
For this reason, we recommend programming addional areas of your
fingerprint to ensure fast and reliable entry to your vault.

Step 6 instrucons again, for each
fingerprint zone you would like to
program.
If you experience any problems
reading your fingerprint, including
inconsistent readings, note the area
of your fingerprint that doesn’t
work properly, and specifically
re-program that area.
This scanner will hold up to 100
different fingerprints.
In the event that you run into issues with programming and accessing your
vault, please read through this secon for answers to your quesons.

8. RECORDING ADDITIONAL FINGERPRINTS (Continued)
Placing a poron of a fingerprint on the scanner that
has not been programmed can result in an error. We
recommend programming mulple areas of each
fingerprint.
Make sure baeries are fresh. We suggest high grade
alkaline. Do not mix old and new baeries. No not use
rechargeable baeries.
Make sure you are placing the same part of your finger
print on the scanner that was used for programming. If
not, make note of the area that is not scanning and
program that area specifically.

Locked Out Of Your Vault
In the event you are locked out your vault, use your backup keys to gain access and

If you have lost your backup keys, or are sll having any difficules, contact customer
service at the number below. Proof of purchase is required to obtain keys.
9. TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued)
Contact Customer Service at [phone] or [email protected]
Low Battery Indicator
If you noce your indicator light is not
remaining on for a few seconds upon entering,
replace baeries immediately to avoid being
locked out of your vault.
Make sure to hold down your finger on the scanner
instead of tapping, as the scanner needs me to
complete the scanning process.
Fingerprints may lack definion due to excessive dryness.
We recommend applying moisturizer or slide your finger
print against your forehead before scanning process.
Pressing and releasing the reset buon will not erase
fingerprints already recorded. It simply places the
scanner in programming mode to allow for addional
fingerprints to be programmed. This unit will hold up
to 100 unique fingerprints.
