LifePod XT

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.

Fingerprint TIPS!

1. Be sure your finger is flat against the scanner (parallel to safe) and your cuticle is over the center of the scanner (this allows the scanner to read where most of the fingerprint details are located).
2. Rotate your finger slightly during registration scans.

STEP 1 : Programming Admin Print 1 of 2

1) Tap the lock pad to wake the unit up.

2) Quickly tap the program button.

3) When the ‘1’ key starts blinking place your fingerprint on the scanner.

4) Place, lift, and rotate until all four keys light up.

This completes the enrollment for the first admin print.

Repeat these steps to program the second admin print.

STEP 2 : Programming Admin Print 2 of 2

1) Tap the lock pad to wake the unit up.

2) Quickly tap the program button.

3) When the ‘1’ key starts blinking place your fingerprint on the scanner.

4) Place, lift, and rotate until all four keys light up.

This completes the enrollment of 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 “Program Additional Prints”.

The first two fingerprints programmed into the safe are the administrative fingerprints. Any additional users programmed require authorization from one of these fingerprints. LifePod XT can store up to 20 fingerprints.

Fingerprint Tips!

• Be sure your finger is flat against the scanner (parallel to safe) and your cuticle is over the center of the scanner (this allows the scanner to read where most of the fingerprint details are located).
• Rotate your finger slightly during registration scans.

Programing Additional Fingerprints

1) Tap the lock pad to wake the unit up.

2) Quickly tap the program button.

3) When the keypad starts flashing RED, you need to scan an admin print.

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.

4) Now when the ‘1’ key starts blinking place your new fingerprint on the scanner.

5) Place, lift, and rotate until all four keys light up.

Repeat these steps to program additional prints.

You have 20 slots available for programming.

Try the following if you are experiencing a low success rate with the fingerprint scanner.

Let’s perform a soft reset of the scanner by deleting the fingerprints on the safe.

1) Wake the unit by tapping the lock pad so all the keys light up RED.

2) Immediately, press and hold keys ‘1’ and ‘3’ together for 3 seconds until all the keys turn RED then enter your master code to delete all fingerprint IDs.

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

Fingerprint Tips!

• Be sure your finger is flat against the scanner (parallel to safe) and your cuticle is over the center of the scanner (this allows the scanner to read where most of the fingerprint details are located).
• 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.
• 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 the First Print

1) Tap the lock pad to wake the unit up.

2) Quickly tap the program button.

3) When the ‘1’ key starts blinking place your fingerprint on the scanner. Place, lift, and rotate until all four keys light up.

4) Test to see if the safe will open using your fingerprint.

With a 9V battery installed, you can unlock your XT safe.

You have three ways of unlocking LifePod XT either a master code, biometric scanner, or the included keys.

Important! Do not undo the compression latches until the unit has been unlocked first. Undoing the compression latches first may cause binding on the lock mechanism and will not unlock.

Master Code: Touch activated 4-digit backlit LED capacitive keypad.

First tap the lock pad to wake the unit up. When the keypad lights up, your LifePod is awake and ready to accept the code. Enter the master code. (The default master code is 1-2-3-4). When the code is correct, the status LED will turn GREEN and the lock will disengage. Undo both side compression latches, and you can open the unit.

Biometric Scanner: Capable of storing up to 20 unique fingerprints.

Simply scan an authorized fingerprint to unlock LifePod XT. No need to wake up LifePod XT. When the scan is authorized, the Status LED will turn GREEN and lock will disengage. Your safe can store 20 unique fingerprint IDs. The 1st and 2nd fingerprints will be recognized as administrative fingerprints and will be used to authorize additional users (3-20).

Backup Keys: Included backup manual keys are provided to unlock the unit if the battery dies.

To unlock LifePod XT, simply open the protective cover at the front of LifePod XT. Insert one of the backup keys, and turn the key clockwise 90 degrees. Important! The manual key can not lock LifePod XT.

Tip! Your LifePod XT can protect your belongings against the elements using the side compression latches alone. For extra security, lock the unit with the lock pad as needed.

Troubleshooting! If the lid does not open when unlocked, close both compression latches and unlock the unit again to free the lock mechanism.

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.

Toggled the Interior LED Light: The interior LED light will come on when the lid is open and stays on for about 20 seconds by default. You have the option to disable the light, or extend the light to stay on longer. To toggle the interior LED light options you need to wake up LifePod XT by tapping the center Lock Pad then press and hold keys ‘1’ and ‘4’ together. The status LED will indicate the selected light setting per below:

Toggle Sound: By default, the sound is ON. To toggle the sound ON/OFF you need to wake up LifePod XT by tapping the center Lock Pad then press and hold keys ‘2’ and ‘3’ together. The status LED will flash RED indicating OFF or GREEN indicating ON.

Delete Fingerprints: To delete all the stored prints on the LifePod XT, wake the unit by tapping the lock pad so all the keys light up RED. Immediately, press and hold keys ‘1’ and ‘3’ together for 3 seconds (until the keys turn RED) then enter your master code to delete all fingerprint IDS.

A micro-USB port is built into LifePod XT 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 XT 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 XT 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 XT, and close the lid.

To order a set of keys, or steel cable, fill out our Spare Parts form.
