5. Getting Started
5.1 Initial Setup and Factory Mode
Upon first use, the padlock is in factory mode. In this mode, any skin contact with the fingerprint sensor will unlock the padlock. It is crucial to register your administrator fingerprint immediately to secure the device.
5.2 Charging the Padlock
Before initial use, ensure the padlock is fully charged. Connect the padlock to a USB power source using a standard Micro-USB cable (not included). The indicator light will show charging status. A full charge can provide up to 12 months of standby time.
5.3 Adding Administrator Fingerprints (First Two Fingerprints)
The first two fingerprints registered will automatically be designated as administrator fingerprints. Administrators have the authority to add or delete other user fingerprints.
- Ensure the padlock is unlocked (in factory mode, any touch unlocks it).
- Press and hold your finger on the fingerprint sensor for approximately 5 seconds. The blue indicator light will turn on. Release your finger.
- Tap your finger on the sensor repeatedly (about 5-10 times) from different angles until the blue light turns off and the registration process stops. This indicates successful registration.
- Repeat steps 1-3 for a second administrator fingerprint, if desired.
