Your safe can store up to 20 unique fingerprints. The 1st and 2nd fingerprints will be recognized as administrative fingerprints and will be used to authorize additional users 3 to 20. Let’s enroll the first two admin prints in the safe. Before programming lets cover a few tips.

Fingerprint TIPS!

1) Place the core of the fingerprint flat over the center of the scanner. This allows the scanner to read where most of the fingerprint detail is located.

2) Rotate your finger slightly between registration scans to store print variations for increased accuracy.

3) Biometric technology is dependent on our anatomical information, and in some cases different fingers may program better than others. For example, your index finger may not register very well, but your thumb may contain higher detail levels and have a much higher success rate. We suggest to try different fingers including your thumb and see if you have better results.

4) To increase success rate register the same finger multiple times. Note, that adding more than two fingerprints requires authorization from the two administrative prints.

STEP 1 : Programming Admin Print 1 of 2

1) Tap the “PROGRAM” button. The ring around the scanner will turn RED and the ‘1’ key on the keypad will blink RED.

2) When the 1 keys starts blinking place your finger for scan, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

3) This completes enrollment for the first admin print.

Repeat these steps to enroll the second admin print.

STEP 2 : Programming Admin Print 2 of 2

1) Tap the “PROGRAM” button. The ring around the scanner will turn RED and the ‘1’ key on the keypad will blink RED.

2) When the 1 keys starts blinking place your finger for scan, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

3) This completes enrollment for the second admin print.

Once both admin prints are enrolled you can program additional prints. Your safe can store up to 20 unique fingerprints. To program addition prints refer to “Programming Additional Prints”.
