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, and 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.
- 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 on your smartphone if a movement occurs.
- Alarm notification can only be transferred, if the I LOCK IT app is connected with your I LOCK IT.
