GROUP DESCRIPTIONS

• Group 1 (Great Grand Master GGM): Considered the system manager. Will have full programming rights and 24/7 access. There can be only one GGM in the system.
• Group 2 (Grand Master GM): Users in this group will have full programming rights and 24/7 access. This is the only group besides the GGM that has programming abilities.
• Group 3 (Passage): Special group. Users have the ability to toggle the passage mode. When a Passage group user scans their fingerprint the lock will go into passage mode, allowing egress until another fingerprint from this group is scanned. (The GGM or GM can toggle the passage mode manually.)
• Groups 4 and 5 (User Groups): User access in this group can be controlled by schedules and holiday settings. No programming rights. Have 24/7 access in the absence of schedules.

ABOUT FINGERPRINT REGISTRATION

Correct Fingerprint Placement: Place your index finger on the window just as you do with a finger stamp. Fingertip touching is not an appropriate registration or input method. Make sure the center of your finger touches the window.

Use your index finger whenever possible. The index finger guarantees an accurate and stable fingerprint input.

Check if your fingerprint for clarity or damage. It is difficult to recognize fingerprints that are too dry, wet, unclear or damaged. Use another finger in this case.

Cautions About Fingerprint Condition: Depending on the User's fingerprint condition, some fingerprints may not be used or may cause an inconvenience.

• If the fingerprint is damaged or very unclear, then it cannot be recognized. Please use a different finger or if needed issue the User a key.
• When a finger is dry, breathe on the tip to moisten it before attempting authentication.
• For children, it may be difficult or impossible to use the unit because their fingerprints are too small or very unclear. If a child will be using the unit it is recommended to register their fingerprints every six months.
• For the elderly, it may not be possible to register their fingerprints because there are too many fine lines on the fingerprints.
• If fingerprints are very unclear, it may be convenient to register more than one finger for a particular user.

Reg. Level: Indicates the level of fingerprint discrimination applied during fingerprint enrollment. The higher the value you select, the more accurately fingerprints will be stored during enrollment

Matching Level: Indicates the level of fingerprint identification applied in authentication of a fingerprint.

• Lower Value = Higher Authentication Rate
• Higher Value = Lower Authentication Rate = Higher Security Level

If you set the Recognition Level for a particular User to zero (0), the level set in the unit will be used.
