Program Fingerprints

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.

STEP 1 : Programming Admin Prints (1 and 2)

STEP 2 : Programming Additional Prints

Before programming lets cover a few tips.

Fingerprint TIPS!

Vaultek Safe | Support – NVTi

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.

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.

Troubleshooting! If you are experiencing a low success rate. Delete the fingerprints on safe and start over.

Having issues? Please email our support team at support@vaulteksafe.com. They would be more than happy to help you out!

Programming Admin Prints (1 and 2)

The 1st and 2nd fingerprints will be recognized as administrative fingerprints and will be used to authorize additional users 3 to 20. To program additional users please “Programming Additional Prints”.

Fingerprint TIPS!

Vaultek Safe | Support – NVTi

A) 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).

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

C) 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.

D) 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 : Program the 1st Admin Print

1) Open the safe.

2) Program the 1st fingerprint by pressing holding the ‘2’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together for 3 seconds until the first LED on the status bar located above the fingerprint sensor blinks RED.

2) Place your finger on the fingerprint scanner for the 1st of five scans. When the safe beeps and the first status bar lights up GREEN remove your finger.

Troubleshooting! If the status bar LED turns RED then remove your finger and reposition the finger on the fingerprint scanner.

3) Place finger again over the scanner until the safe beeps and the second status LED lights up GREEN and lift. You will repeat this process until all status bars (1-5) are solid GREEN.

4) Close the door and test to see if the safe will open using your fingerprint.

STEP 2 : Program the 2nd Admin Print

1) Program the 2nd fingerprint by pressing holding the ‘2’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together for 3 seconds until the first LED on the status bar located above the fingerprint sensor blinks RED.

2) Place your finger on the fingerprint scanner for the 1st of five scans. When the safe beeps and the first status bar lights up GREEN remove your finger.

3) Place finger again over the scanner until the safe beeps and the second status LED lights up GREEN and lift. You will repeat this process until all status bars (1-5) are solid GREEN.

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”.

Having issues? Please email our support team at support@vaulteksafe.com. They would be more than happy to help you out!

Programming Additional Fingerprints

The first two fingerprints programmed into the safe are the administrative fingerprints. Any additional users programmed require authorization from one of these fingerprints.

1) Open the safe. Program the additional fingerprints by pressing and holding the ‘2’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together (3 seconds). The entire status bar will blink RED prompting you to scan one of the administrative fingerprints.

2) Place one of the two programmed administrative fingerprints on the scanner and remove when the safe beeps and the entire status bar blinks GREEN. When the first status bar 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) Using the helpful fingerprint tips place the NEW finger on the scanner. When the safe beeps and the first LED in the status bar lights up GREEN remove your finger.

4) Place finger again over the scanner until the safe beeps and the second status LED lights up GREEN and lift. You will repeat this process until all status bar LEDs (1-5) are solid GREEN.

TIP! Repeat steps 1 through 4 to add additional fingerprints.

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.

Delete Fingerprints

Individual fingerprints cannot be deleted from the keypad on the safe. Following this procedure will erase all the fingerprints including both administrative fingerprints. Individual fingerprints can be deleted from the Vaultek® WiFi app.

1) Press and hold the ‘3’ key and “PROGRAM” button together until all the status bar LEDs light up RED and let go.

2) Enter your master code on the keypad. If the code is correct, all the status bar LEDs will blink GREEN and the safe will beep indicating deletion of all the fingerprints.

Having issues? Please email our support team at support@vaulteksafe.com. They would be more than happy to help you out!

Low Success Rate

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.

Programming Fingerprints

Nano Key Biometric is capable of storing 20 prints. The first print is the Admin print. This print is necessary to authorize additional prints and authorize the deletion of all prints.

Before programming the fingerprints to Nano Key Biometric 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 Fingerprints on Nano Key Biometric

The first print is the admin print. This print is necessary to authorize additional prints and authorize the deletion of all prints.

1) Quickly press the PROGRAM button. The LED ring will turn solid RED indication you can place your fingerprint on the scanner for the first of (3) registrations scans.

2) Place your thumb or finger on the scanner, when you hear a confirmation beep and the LED ring flashes GREEN, lift your finger and repeat two more registration scans to complete programming for the first user.

You can program additional users using the steps below.

You are now ready to pair Nano Key 2.0 Biometric to your safe.

Programming Additional Prints

1) Quickly press the PROGRAM button. The LED ring will turn solid YELLOW requesting you to place the Admin print on the scanner to authorize the request to add another user.

2) When successful, you will hear a confirmation beep and the LED ring will flash GREEN then back to RED indicating you to can proceed with the first of (3) registration scans for the new print.

Troubleshooting! If you hear two beeps and the LED ring stays RED, the scan was not accepted and you will need to start again.

Tip! A total of 19 fingerprints can be programmed outside the first Admin print.

Off – Keys Turn Solid RED

Progressive Entry Mode – Keys Blink Green
Safe goes into sleep mode and will require you to wake up the safe before using Nano Key. You can wake up the safe by pressing any key or brushing your hand across the keypad of the safe (backlit keys will turn RED).

On Demand Entry Mode – Keys Solid Green
This mode grants immediate access to your safe without having to wake it up.

Warning: On Demand Entry Mode can open a safe in another room and/or out of sight. To reduce the risk of an unattended open safe we recommend using Progressive Entry Mode.

On Demand Entry mode requires significant power usage and can greatly reduce operation time. We suggest setting the Nano Key to Progressive Entry Mode to conserve battery.

DMT Sensitivity (Impact Detection)

Your Vaultek safe has a built-in accelerometer and corresponding alarm that alerts of any attacking to your safe including bumps and impacts, DMT (Impact Detection).

DMT is enabled by default and its sensitivity has three settings; Low, Medium, and High.

You can toggle DMT Sensitivity from the keypad using the hot key shortcut or using the Vaultek® WiFi app.

You can toggle through these settings by pressing and holding the ‘7’ key then “PROGRAM” button together for 3 seconds. If all FIVE lights on the status bar glow solid GREEN, the High setting is enabled; If FOUR lights on the status bar glow solid GREEN, the Medium setting is enabled; if THREE lights on the status bar glow GREEN, the Low setting is enabled; if all lights on the status bar glow RED, DMT is disabled (OFF).

This mode requires that at least one fingerprint be programmed in the safe.

Troubleshooting

Lost My Keys

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

Low Success Rate (Only Biometric Models)

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.

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

STEP 1 : Delete Fingerprints

First, delete the prints you have programmed in so far, and try again with the tips below:

1) Press and hold keys ‘3’ and ‘5’ at same time until all keys light up red (takes about 3 seconds). Let go of keys ‘3’ and ‘5’ and enter the master pin code. You’ve cleared the prints and ready to start fresh!

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.

STEP 2 : Program the 1st Admin Print

1) Open the safe.

2) Program the 1st fingerprint by pressing holding the ‘2’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together for 3 seconds until the first LED on the status bar located above the fingerprint sensor blinks RED.

2) Place your finger on the fingerprint scanner for the 1st of five scans. When the safe beeps and the first status bar lights up GREEN remove your finger.

Troubleshooting! If the status bar LED turns RED then remove your finger and reposition the finger on the fingerprint scanner.

3) Place finger again over the scanner until the safe beeps and the second status LED lights up GREEN and lift. You will repeat this process until all status bars (1-5) are solid GREEN.

4) Close the door and test to see if the safe will open using your fingerprint.

STEP 3 : Program the 2nd Admin Print

1) Program the 2nd fingerprint by pressing holding the ‘2’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together for 3 seconds until the first LED on the status bar located above the fingerprint sensor blinks RED.

2) Place your finger on the fingerprint scanner for the 1st of five scans. When the safe beeps and the first status bar lights up GREEN remove your finger.

3) Place finger again over the scanner until the safe beeps and the second status LED lights up GREEN and lift. You will repeat this process until all status bars (1-5) are solid GREEN.

Once both admin prints are enrolled you can program additional prints. Your safe can store up to 20 unique fingerprints.

STEP 4 : Program Additional Prints

1) Open the safe. Program the additional fingerprints by pressing and holding the ‘2’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together (3 seconds). The entire status bar will blink RED prompting you to scan one of the administrative fingerprints.

2) Place one of the two programmed administrative fingerprints on the scanner and remove when the safe beeps and the entire status bar blinks GREEN. When the first status bar 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) Using the helpful fingperint tips place the NEW finger on the scanner. When the safe beeps and the first LED in the status bar lights up GREEN remove your finger.

4) Place finger again over the scanner until the safe beeps and the second status LED lights up GREEN and lift. You will repeat this process until all status bar LEDs (1-5) are solid GREEN.

Tip! Repeat steps 1 through 4 to add additional fingerprints.
