DS5i Smart Station

This safe needs to be plugged in continuously for normal function and two AAA batteries need to be installed.

1. Use the power kit provided to plug the safe into a wall outlet.

These batteries provide backup power in the event of a power outage and will provide power for about 15 hours to access to the safe.

If the power goes out or the safe is unplugged, the charging capabilities and the front LED screen will turn off to preserve battery life and the backup batteries will provide backup power.

1. Purchase two brand new AAA batteries. We recommend using brand name batteries from Duracell/Energizer or other reputable brands.

2. Open the safe.

3. Locate the battery compartment at the back of the safe drawer.

4. Install two AAA batteries.

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. Each fingerprint requires 3 registration scans to be enrolled into the safe.

Fingerprint TIPS!

• 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.
• Rotate your finger slightly between registration scans to store print variations for increased accuracy. 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.
• To increase success rate register the same finger multiple times. Note, that adding more than two fingerprints requires authorization from the two administrative prints.

Important! DS5i Smart Station has two separate program buttons inside. One on the left, and one on the right. To program fingerprints, you will be using the Right Program Button.

STEP 1 : Programming Admin Print 1 of 2

1. Open the safe. Program 1st fingerprint by tapping the “Right Program Button”. The LED ring around the scanner will start flashing RED and the ‘1’ key will start blinking RED.

2. Place your finger on the fingerprint scanner for the 1st of 3 scans. When the safe beeps and the ‘1’ key lights up GREEN remove your finger.

3. Rotate your finger position and place your finger on the scanner again. You will repeat this process until all keys are solid GREEN.

4. Close the safe drawer and test to see if the safe will opens using your fingerprint.

Repeat these steps to enroll the second admin print.

STEP 2 : Programming Admin Print 2 of 2

1. Tap the “Right Program Button” button. The LED ring around the scanner will start flashing RED and the ‘1’ key will start blinking RED.

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

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”.

Programming Additional Fingerprints

1. Open the safe. Program additional fingerprints by taping the “Right Program Button”. The LED around the scanner will be solid YELLOW prompting you to scan one of the administrative fingerprints.

2. Place either of the first two programmed administrative fingerprints on the scanner and remove when the safe beeps and the scanner blinks GREEN. When the ‘1’ key starts blinking RED you can enroll a NEW fingerprint.

Tip! If the administrative print is left on the scanner too long the safe will begin to program that fingerprint into the safe again and not the NEW fingerprint. If this happens start over with step one.

3. Place the NEW finger on the scanner. When the safe beeps and the ‘1’ key lights up GREEN, remove your finger.

4. Place finger again over the scanner until the safe beeps and the ‘2’ key lights up GREEN and lift. You will repeat this process until all keys are solid GREEN.

Tip! Repeat steps 1-4 to continue adding additional prints.

Troubleshooting! If you are having difficulty with your print, program the same fingerprint 4 or 5 times. You have 20 slots available for programming and you can also try your thumb as it has more surface area to read.

Before programming the fingerprints to Nano Key 2.0 Biometric lets cover a few tips.

Tip! The first print is the admin print which is used to authorize the programming of additional prints.

Tip! When programming you will scan your fingerprint 3 times.

Fingerprint TIPS!

• 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.
• Rotate your finger slightly between registration scans to store print variations for increased accuracy.
• 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.
• To increase success rate register the same finger multiple times. Note, that adding more than two fingerprints requires authorization from the two administrative prints.

Important! You need to have at least one fingerprint programmed in Nano Key 2.0 Biometric for it to pair with DS2i Smart Station.

Use the top mounted wireless charging pad to quickly and efficiently charge your phone as needed.

Important! Smart Station has to be plugged in before charging a device on the charging pad.

Place your smartphone device flat and centered on the charging pad. Your phone will start charging and the safe will beep and display a charging icon on the front screen to indicate it’s charging.

Troubleshooting! If the smartphone and charging pad are not aligned properly the wireless charging will not work. Try moving your phone around the charging pad to align it with the center of the charging pad. Ensure that the center of your smartphone’s back lines up close to the center of the charging pad. The safe will beep and display a charging icon on the front screen to indicate charging.

Not all phones are compatible with wireless charging. However, there are ports on the back of the safe to charge your device using standard cables.

Make sure you are using the Vaultek Bluetooth 2.0 app and not the Vaultek WiFi app. The device name you may be seeing in the “Select Your Safe” is the default name assigned to the safe. Example: “VAULTEK-1B7A”. Select that and once you successfully pair you can change the name.

If you are having difficulty with your print, program the same fingerprint 4 or 5 times. You have 20 slots available for programming and you can also try your thumb as it has more surface area to read.

STEP 1 : Let’s delete the fingerprints and start over.

1) Press and hold the “Right Program Button” and ‘1’ key until all the keys (1-4) light up RED and enter your master code. If the code is correct, all the numbers on the keypad will blink GREEN and beep indicating deletion of all the fingerprints.

STEP 2 : Program the First Print

Now let’s try reprogramming your fingerprint using the helpful tips below.

Fingerprint TIPS!

• 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.
• Rotate your finger slightly between registration scans to store print variations for increased accuracy.
• 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.
• To increase success rate register the same finger multiple times. Note, that adding more than two fingerprints requires authorization from the two administrative prints.

Program Admin Print 1 and 2

1) Open the safe. Program 1st fingerprint by tapping the “Right Program Button” and the ‘1’ key will start flashing RED.

2) When the ‘1’ key start blinking place your finger on the fingerprint scanner for the 1st of three scans. When the safe beeps and the ‘1’ keys lights up GREEN remove your finger.

3) Rotate your finger position and place your finger on the scanner again. You will repeat this process until all keys are solid GREEN.

4) Close the safe drawer and test to see if the safe will opens using your fingerprint.

Tip! Program the same fingerprint 4 or 5 times. You have 20 slots available for programming.

Tip! Repeat these steps to enroll the second admin print.
