3. Setup and Installation
The Prime-Line MP4269 key tags are designed for straightforward use. No complex assembly or installation is required.
- Prepare the Tag: Remove a key tag from the package.
- Label the Tag: Use a permanent marker or pen to write the desired identification information (e.g., room number, key purpose) on the porous white surface of the plastic tag. Allow ink to dry completely to prevent smudging.
- Attach Key: Open the steel hook by pressing the spring-loaded gate. Slide the key onto the hook and release the gate to secure the key. Ensure the key is fully seated on the hook.
- Hang the Tag: The top of the plastic tag features a slot. This slot is designed to hang securely on the hooks or rails within a key box or on a key organization board.
4. Operating Instructions
Once set up, operating the key tags involves simple handling for daily use.
- Identification: Read the label on the plastic tag to quickly identify the associated key.
- Removing/Adding Keys: To remove or add a key, simply press the gate on the steel hook, slide the key off or on, and release the gate.
- Storage: Always hang the key tag by its slot in a designated key box or on a key rack to maintain organization and prevent loss.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and readability of your Prime-Line MP4269 key tags.
- Cleaning: If the plastic tag becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the plastic or erase the written label.
- Label Durability: For best results, use permanent markers for labeling. If the label fades or needs to be changed, a new tag can be used, or in some cases, the old label might be carefully removed with an alcohol-based cleaner (test on an inconspicuous area first) and re-labeled.
- Hook Inspection: Periodically check the steel hook for any signs of damage or deformation. Ensure the spring-loaded gate operates smoothly and closes securely.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your key tags.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Writing smudges on tag. | Ink not fully dry; non-permanent marker used. | Allow sufficient drying time after writing. Use a permanent marker for best results. |
| Key falls off hook. | Hook gate not fully closed; hook damaged. | Ensure the spring-loaded gate closes completely. If the hook is damaged, replace the key tag. |
