If your I LOCK IT app is connected to your I LOCK IT+, you will also receive a warning message on your smartphone. By pressing the “Everything is ok” button in the warning message, the acoustic alarm can be deactivated before the 30 seconds have elapsed.
While the audible alarm is active, I LOCK IT+ can not be unlocked automatically or by pushing the button.

Share access

To lend your bike that is equipped with I LOCK IT+ to friends or family, you can create and share a color code in the I LOCK IT app. This color code allows you to open I LOCK IT+, without having to install the I LOCK IT app on another smartphone
To share access, enter the settings menu of the I LOCK IT app and choose the “Sharing” sub-menu. There you can generate, share, change and disable the color code.
When the color code is changed the code, which was displayed last, is automatically deactivated.

NOTICE

To create a color code, your I LOCK IT app must be connected to your I LOCK IT+.
Your personal color code, which you’ve setup in the app, should not be passed on. This personal color code allows you to have permanent access to your I LOCK IT+.
If several people permanently use your bike then it is useful to setup more smartphones on your I LOCK IT+ (see page 13)

Settings

The I LOCK IT app allows you to configure your I LOCK IT+ individually. Open the “Settings” menu by pressing the symbol in the top right corner of the I LOCK IT App Homescreen.

To change settings, your I LOCK IT app must be connected to your I LOCK IT+.

The following chapters describe the possible settings in detail.

Automatically Unlock

If the “Automatically Unlock” function is activated, your I LOCK IT+ will open automatically as soon as you move to your locked bike. The distance at which your I LOCK IT+ should be unlocked can be configured in three steps using the slider “Distance to Unlock”. In the 1st stage, your I LOCK IT will only unlock when you are close to your bike. In the last stage already, if you are a little further from it.

The distance is determined by determining the signal strength between I LOCK IT+ and your smartphone. This signal strength changes depending on the storage of your smartphone. It is possible that I LOCK IT+ e.g. unlocks sooner when you hold your smartphone in your hand and later when you carry it in your pocket.

Automatically Lock

If the Automatically Lock function is active, your I LOCK IT+ automatically locks as soon as you move away from your unlocked bike. The distance at which your I LOCK IT+ is locking can be configured via the slider “Distance to lock” in three steps. In the 1st stage, your I LOCK IT+ will lock at a short distance to your bike, in the last step at a greater distance.

The distance is determined by determining the signal strength between I LOCK IT+ and your smartphone. This signal strength changes depending on the storage of your smartphone. It is possible that your I LOCK IT+ e.g. Locks later when you hold your smartphone in your hand and earlier when you carry it in your pocket.
During your journey, I LOCK IT+ performs an intelligent detection of the signal strength, so that even in situations such as standstill, at the traffic light no locking occurs. By this determination, the actual distance at which I LOCK IT+ locks can vary.

Theft protection

If the “Alarm setting” function is activated, an audible alarm is triggered as soon as your locked bicycle is lifted and carried away.
The smart alarm analyzes the strength and duration of the movement and signals with a short pre-alarm that the theft alarm is activated. If your bike continues to move a 30 seconds long alarm sound will be set off. Die pre-alarm function can be deactivated separately in the I LOCK IT App.
If your I LOCK IT app is still connected to your I LOCK IT+, you will also receive a theft notification on your smartphone.
With the function “Alarm sensitivity” you can adjust at which force of movement the alarm gets set off. In the 1. Step (to the left) the sensitivity is set very low. This means the alarm gets only set off through a strong movement of your bike. In the last step (to the right) the sensitivity is very high, and a small movement of your bike is enough to set off the alarm.
With the function “Mute alarm” the acoustic alarm of I LOCK IT+ can be deactivated while you will still receive a notification to your smartphone if a movement occurs.

An alarm notification can only be transferred, if the I LOCK IT app is connected with your I LOCK IT+.

Connecting additional devices

By connecting another smartphone or key fob, your I LOCK IT+ can be controlled by different devices at a time.

Inserting the cable / chain into a locked I LOCK IT+ is not possible.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

I LOCK IT+ is not sensitive to splashing water and can be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge. In order to enable a reliable function, the striker should also be freed from dirt regularly

Cleaning with a high pressure cleaner is not permitted and can lead to damage to I LOCK IT+.
Do not use chemicals to clean I LOCK IT+.

Flex Adapter

Check the flex adapters regularly for damage. The Flex Adapters are subject to normal wear. The Material may be affected by UV radiation and other weather conditions and can become porous.
Should the condition no longer suffice for a reliable operation, then it is recommended to replace the Flex adapter. These can be ordered from us. Please contact our customer service to order new Flex Adapter.

Battery pack

Battery life and low battery level
The battery integrated into I LOCK IT+ supplies I LOCK IT+ with energy for approx. one cycle season. The actual runtime depends on various factors such as the ambient temperature, the frequency of use and the alarm setting.
If the battery reaches a low charge level, an audible warning tone will be heard during each opening process. The battery should then be charged to avoid a failure of I LOCK IT+.

If the power supply is exhausted by I LOCK IT+, the function stops and remains in the last state.
Unlocking / Locking and the alarm function are not possible when the battery is exhausted.
By connecting a charger / USB-Powerbank, I LOCK IT+ is immediately ready for use again and can be unlocked / locked.
