Your LifePod is equipped with an anti-hacking feature for enhanced security. Using the Anti-Picking feature, you can disable the from key access. This prevents the front keyway from being picked open, but also prevents the lock from being opened with the manual key.

Important! The manual key can not lock LifePod with either setting.

Backup keys are provided in case of battery failure, allowing you to unlock LifePod. The key hole is located beneath the front protective rubber cover.

To unlock LifePod, simply open the protective cover, insert one of the backup keys, and turn the key clockwise 90 degrees. If the Anti-Picking feature is enabled, the backup keys can not open LifePod.

TIP! The app will not send alerts to your phone, but allows you to make convenient maintenance checks when in range. The app dashboard will provide graphical indication of the values and highlight any values out of range.

Status LED
The status LED will provide feedback on various commands. It will light GREEN when correct codes are entered and RED when an incorrect code is entered.

Tamper Indication
If the status LED is solid RED when awake, this means the unit has detected that an incorrect code has been entered. You can clear the tamper indicator by entering the correct master code.

Battery Indicator
When the unit is awake, the battery indicator will light either GREEN or RED. Green indicates the battery has sufficient power, and Red indicates the battery is in need of replacement.

Lock Pad
The lock pad illuminates RED only when the unit has been locked using the keypad, and requires the use of the master code to unlock it. When locked, and the unit is awake, the lock icon will be solid RED.

TIP: If the lock icon is solid RED, do not undo the side compression latches to open the unit. This means the internal lock is engaged and should not be opened. Enter the master code to unlock the unit, as indicated by the lock icon light going OFF. It is now safe to undo the side latches and open the unit.

Toggle Sound: By default, the sound is ON. To toggle the sound ON/OFF you need to wake up LifePod® by tapping the center Lock Pad (Fig T) then press and hold keys ‘2’ and ‘3’ together. The status LED (Fig R) will flash RED indicating OFF or GREEN indicating ON.

A micro-USB port is built into LifePod behind the front protective rubber cover.

In the event the battery dies while traveling, and you do not have access to the backup keys, you can power on the unit using the backup micro-USB port.

Simply open the rubber cover and plug in a micro-USB cable (not included) into the port. While the cable is plugged into
an external power source, LifePod will function normally allowing you to enter the code and open the unit.

Included is a steel security cable that can be used to secure the LifePod to a fixed object.

1) First wrap the looped end of the cable around an object of your choice, such as a seat bracket under your vehicle’s seat.

2) Pull the adapter piece through the loop, and cinch tight.

3) Place the adapter piece in its slot in the LifePod, and close the lid.

The battery is likely bad. Test the normal function by removing the battery and plugging in a micro-USB cable to the micro-USB port. If the unit resumes normal function then the installed battery is bad. We recommend a brand name battery like Duracell or Energizer.

LifePod’s backup keys are designed to unlock LifePod in the event the battery dies, but they can not lock LifePod. NOTE: Enabling the Anti-picking feature ON, will prevent the keys from being able to unlock LifePod as this feature disables the front keyway altogether.
