After registering administrator fingerprints, you can add up to 18 more user fingerprints.
- Wake up the padlock by touching the sensor briefly.
- Place an administrator's finger on the sensor. The green LED will flash, indicating successful verification.
- Immediately after the green flash, press and hold the sensor for approximately 5-8 seconds until the blue LED flashes. Release your finger.
- Place the new user's finger on the sensor. The green LED will flash. Lift and place the finger repeatedly from different angles (at least 5-10 times) until the green LED turns solid. This indicates successful registration.
