If the blue light is not flashing, remove the contact card, wait for the lights to go dark, then reinsert it before tapping 'Retry'.

If this step fails repeatedly, then contact PERSONA technical support at (800)–481–8464.

Configuring the Locklink Software

Once you can see the " " list entry, highlight it and tap 'Next'.

• 1. Enter "1234" when prompted for 'Passcode'.
• 2. Tap the 'COM Ports' tab at the bottom of the screen.

Note the COM port number assigned to the Firefly device.

NOTE: If you do not see the FireFly-EAE0 device in the COM port list, tap "New Outgoing Port" and pick the FireFly-EAE0 device before tapping "Next."

3. Choose an available COM port number (COM8 is often a good choice) and tap "Finish."

9 Lockset Programming

• 1. Tap then tap to launch the LockLink program. Choose Menu and then 'Setup'.
• 2. Pick the COM port noted in Step 6. Check the box 'Use Bluetooth' and click 'Apply'.

Start the PERSONA LockLink™ software:

5. To access the full screen keyboard (shown at right) tap on the ellipsis (three dots) next to the password field.

Once you have entered your password, you will begin on the Upload screen. This is the proper place to be for programming locks.

Note: Be sure to perform an Operational Check (see Section 9) for each lock.

Lockset Programming Instructions (Continued)

Upload Full Program

After locks are installed, they must have program files copied into them before they can receive and interpret data. In many ways, the program files act as the locks' operating system by interpreting the lock data to control each lock's behavior.

1. Highlight (by tapping) the name of the lock that you wish to program.

If the list of locks is longer than the display, locate the lock using the scroll bar at the right of the display or use the button at the top of the display.

• 2. Tap the button to completely initialize the lock; the message "Alert! Make sure the Contact Card is Inserted or has power."
• 3. Tap "ok".
• 4. Follow the directions on the screen.

NOTE: You will be prompted to insert the Contact Card into the lock three times.

5. When the data has finished loading, you are notified to remove the Contact Card from the lock.

Lockset Programming Instructions (Continued)

6. Reinsert Contact Card a second time to initialize the program.

Note: You should hear the motor run briefly.

7. Program initializes and directs you to remove the Contact Card.

8. Follow the on-screen directions and reinsert the Contact Card a third time.

Lockset Programming Instructions (Continued)

• 9. Remove the Contact Card.
• 10. To exit and return to the program screen, tap the button.

• 11. After programming the new lockset, verify operation by performing the Operational Check (refer to Section 9).
• 12. Repeat this procedure for each lock to be programmed with lock data.
  • NOTE: With a successful upload, the time and date that the lock was programmed will appear beside each lock name.

10 Operational Check

IMPORTANT: Be sure to test functions prior to closing door.

In all cases, perform the following checks:

• 1. Ensure that inside lever retracts latch (and deadbolt for deadbolt functions).
• For devices with cylinders, the following checks apply:

Insert key into cylinder and rotate:

• a. There should be no friction against lock case, wire harness, or any other obstructions.
• If harness friction exists, refer to the section on 'Installation of Inside Component Assembly' in PERSONA instructions A7809 (this manual).
• b. The key should retract the latch and the key should rotate freely.
• c. The key should extend and retract the latchbolt.
• For units without a keypad, the following checks apply:

Insert test card marked NO PIN and retract:

• a. Ensure lockset displays a green flash (and no other lights).
• b. Ensure outside lever retracts latch, the door opens, and that there is no binding against lock case, wire harness or other obstructions.
• For units with a keypad, test the keypad by using the following checks:

Create and insert a test card marked 'PIN 1234' and retract:

• a. Ensure lockset displays solid yellow light.
• b. Type 1, 2, 3, 4 on keypad.
• c. Ensure outside lever retracts latch, the door opens, and that there is no binding against lock case, wire harness or other obstructions.
• d. Test again with card marked 'PIN 5678'.
• e. Test again with card marked 'PIN 9090'.
• 2. Any rapid yellow or rapid red flashing lights indicate a low power condition. Check the battery voltage at the top of the battery pack to check for the required 9V. If the voltage is correct, inspect the wiring for a possible short.
• 3. When you have completed the tests, close the door, ensuring latchbolt and deadbolt fully extend into strike plate without binding.
