Low Success Rate
First, delete the prints you have programmed in so far, and try again with the tips below:
TIP: 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.
TIP: During the 5 scan programming process for each finger, slightly repositioning your finger after each scan will store more information and increase your success rate.
TIP: To increase success rate register the same finger multiple times. Note, that adding more than two fingerprints requires authorization from the two administrative prints.

Why do I have to re-pair my app?
A) In the event an authorized user paired another phone to your safe you will be prompted to re-pair. The safe is designed to pair with one phone at a time.
B) In the event an authorized user changed the safe’s master code after pairing, the safe will no longer connect to your app, and you will be prompted to enter the new code when needed.
