MESSAGE FROM VAULTEK

Thank you for your recent purchase! We believe personal defense should be handled seriously and we are excited for you to experience the ultimate performance in smart security.
Introducing Nano Key Biometric 2.0, the latest addition to Vaultek’s Nano Key lineup, now offering quick secure biometric access to your safe in a discreet package that can be hidden as a panic button or stored in the open.
The proprietary fingerprint authentication technology developed by Vaultek® is now integrated in Nano Key Biometric 2.0 with a fingerprint capacity of up to 20 unique authorized users.
A single user consists of (3) registration scans of the same fingerprint during programming. Once a user’s fingerprint is programmed and encrypted, the fingerprint information can not be copied or stolen.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

SPECS

3 months on a single charge
2.5 hours to recharge
Up to 20 ft range – varies per model
Stores up to 20 unique fingerprints
One user consists of 3 scans
One Admin print

Security Sleep Feature: Activates when six (6) consecutive incorrect fingerprints are scanned and does not accept any scans for four (4) minutes. If a finger is placed during this mode, the LED ring will flash RED and the alarm beeps.
Low Battery Warning: During standby once the battery is low, the LED ring flashes RED and sounds several rapid beeps every 5 minutes and continues until battery dies. Learn more about battery functions on page 19.

INSTALLATION

Nano Key Biometric 2.0 is equipped with a mounting bracket and double stick adhesive. The mounting bracket can be installed where preferred for quick access to your safe.
Nano Key Biometric 2.0 can open your safe within a range of up to 20 feet.
TIP! Before mounting the bracket, test the range of Nano Key to ensure access can be granted from your desired mounting location.

PROGRAMMING ADMIN PRINT (First User)

The first programmed fingerprint is considered the Admin print. This print is necessary to authorize adding in additional users or to authorize the deletion of all prints.
Step 1 To get started, quickly press the top PROGRAM button. The LED ring will turn solid RED indicating you can place your finger on the scanner for the first of (3) registration scans. Place your thumb or finger on the scanner, when you hear a confirmation beep and the LED ring flashes GREEN, lift your finger and repeat two more registration scans to complete programming for the first user.
TIP! Reposition the fingerprint on the scanner for each registration scan to trap varying angles and store more print information. See page 10 for more TIPS.
TIP! If you hear two beeps and the LED ring stays RED, the scan was not accepted and you will need to start again.

PROGRAMMING ADDITIONAL PRINTS (Prints 2-20)
After the Admin print has been locked in, you can add additional users or fingerprints, up to 20 unique users in total. This is very helpful in the event Nano Key Biometric 2.0 is having a hard time reading your initial print, or if you wish to grant other users authorized access to your safe.
Step 1 To get started, quickly press the top PROGRAM button. The LED ring will turn solid YELLOW requesting you to place the Ad min print on the scanner to authorize the request.
Continue on the next page.
When successful, you will hear a confirmation beep and the LED ring will flash GREEN then back to RED indicating you can proceed with the first of (3) registration scans for additional prints. Place your thumb or finger on the scanner, when you hear a confirmation beep and the LED ring flashes GREEN, lift your finger and repeat two more registration scans to complete programming.
TIP! If you hear two beeps and the LED ring stays RED, the scan was not accepted and you will need to start again.
TIP! A total of 19 fingerprints can be programmed outside the first Admin print.

PROGRAMMING TIPS (4 Total)

The following tips are helpful for the most accurate programming.

1. When scanning, be sure and aim the cuticle of your finger or thumb flat over the center of the scanner (this places the center of your fingerprint in the middle of the scanner). Reference the image on page 11. Some moisture helps too, dry skin makes your fingerprint hard to read.
   More PROGRAMMING TIPS on the next page.

2. Biometric technology is dependent on our anatomical information, and in some cases different fingerprints may program better than others. For example, your index finger may not register very well, but your thumb may contain higher detail levels and have a much higher success rate. We suggest trying different fingers and see if you have better results with your thumb.
   More PROGRAMMING TIPS on the next page.

3. During the 3 scan registration process for each finger, lift and reposition your finger at different angles to store more print information.

4. Program your thumb two, three, even four times. This again stores more print information if your print is having trouble reading. As an example, you can program a print standing up, then another sitting down to trap different angles. You have available 20 slots in total to use as needed.

PAIRING NANO KEY WITH YOUR SAFE
Once fingerprints are programmed and ready to use, Nano Key Biometric 2.0 functions the same as a standard Nano Key. Simply placing a programmed fingerprint on the scanner activates the key to open a paired safe. Refer to your safe’s user manual for specific Nano Key pairing instructions. During the pairing process, when the safe is ready to receive the Nano Key transmission, simply scan an enrolled finger into Nano Key Biometric 2.0 and the pairing process will complete. Once Nano Key is paired with your safe, any of the programmed fingerprints in Nano Key Biometric 2.0 will have access to the safe.

MANUAL PAIRING MODE

Nano Key Biometric 2.0 can be manually paired to a safe if Nano Key needs to be changed to a new safe. Use the following sequence when changing safes if needed.
TIP! Nano Key Biometric 2.0 can only pair to one safe at a time.
Step 1 To pair Nano Key Biometric 2.0 with a new safe, first ready the new safe to receive the pairing transmission from the Nano Key.

Step 2 On Nano Key, tap the top program button 3 times. This will enter manual pairing mode, and the LED ring will glow YELLOW prompting the scan of an Admin fingerprint.

Step 3 Scan an Admin fingerprint and Nano Key will pair with the new safe.
Nano Key can now be used to open the new safe. Tutorial videos online at vaulteksafe.com.

DELETING FINGERPRINTS

This operation will unpair Nano Key Biometric 2.0, and will delete all fingerprints, you can not individually delete fingerprints.
Step 1 Press and hold the top PROGRAM button for 3 seconds, until the LED ring starts glowing YELLOW. This is prompting you to scan the Ad min print first. The Ad min print is the first fingerprint enrolled in Nano Key Biometric 2.0, and must be scanned to authorize the deletion of all prints.
Step 2 A confirmation beep and GREEN LED ring confirms the delete is complete.

FINGERPRINT MANAGEMENT
The fingerprints stored on Nano Key Biometric 2.0 function differently than fingerprints stored locally on a biometric Vaultek® safe. You can not name individual fingerprints, and the safe is not able to read the fingerprint information.
Your safe’s history log will record activity as “opened with Nano Key” or something similar. You will not be able to decipher which fingerprint has opened the safe if multiple users are programmed into Nano Key Biometric 2.0.
TIP! Deleting all fingerprints will unpair Nano Key.

BATTERY FUNCTIONS

Low Battery Warning: When used to open your safe, the LED ring flashes RED and sounds several rapid beeps. This continues every 5 minutes until battery dies to indicate low battery and time to recharge.
Charging Nano Key Biometric 2.0:
Simply plug in the micro-USB charging cable provided for 2.5 hours to recharge the battery.
Tip! The approximate battery life under normal usage is 3 months.
TIP! Nano Key Biometric 2.0 can be left plugged in at all times.
TIP! Nano Key Biometric 2.0 battery level can be viewed in the Bluetooth 2.0 app.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

1. Make sure you are within range of the safe, approximately 20 feet, for the Nano Key Biometric 2.0 to operate.
2. Anytime Nano Key is used to open the safe, if the LED ring flashes RED and sounds several rapid beeps, this indicates battery is low and in need of recharging. Refer to battery information on page 19 and 20.
3. For the most accurate programming of your fingerprints into Nano Key Biometric 2.0 refer to pages 10 to 13.
