Using a Garrett Zero TouchTM NFC card

Before using a Garrett Zero Touch NFC, the wireless NFC access must be enabled. Access the keypad menu using the security Admin Code (default 6-7-8-9-0) and use the Menu up arrow to find the “NFC:” Function. Using this function, the accessibility can be enabled/disabled with four settings.

NFC:
- On Allows the NFC wireless transmitter to always stay On while the Paragon is powered On and in operation.
- On with Key Allows for the NFC wireless transmitter to be On only when the keypad lock is enabled and Off when the keypad lock is disabled.
- On with Password Allows for the NFC wireless transmitter to be On only when the Admin Code is entered to access the keypad menus and Off when exiting menu or when Paragon is in On/OPERATE mode.
- Off – Disables the NFC wireless transmitter at all times.

The Garrett Zero Touch NFC cards were designed with security in mind. Each card is designed to only work with the Garrett Paragon walk through metal detector. e card must be “Registered” with the Paragon detector prior to its initial use by accessing the keypad menu using the security Admin Code (default 6-7-8-9-0). Once the keypad menu has been accessed, tapping the NFC card to the NFC logo on the left side of the keypad will show three button options to press: 5 to Register Register allows for the Function of the card to run automatically without entering any access code, additional settings notwithstanding. 6 to View View allows the operator to view the Function and its value for which it was programmed without having to Register or Run it. 9 to Run Run allows for the card to read the Function values from the card and store those values as its own without having to Register it.
