What do I do when I cannot open my BioVault 2.0?
Please follow the following suggestions to open your BioVault 2.0:
1) Swipe your fingerprint over the scanner slowly and completely.
2) Swipe an alternative registered fingerprint from another finger or from your other hand.
3) If the unit is using battery power, replace the batteries or plug in the A/C adapter to the BioVault 2.0 and directly into a wall outlet and retry.
Can the BioVault 2.0 use rechargeable D-Cell batteries?
Yes, but they can not be recharged inside the BioVault 2.0 even if the A/C adapter is plugged in.
If I cut my finger, does the fingerprint heal the same as before and will it open my safe?
Usually yes, although if the cut is significant or requires stitches, scar tissue may form as a result causing a change in your fingerprint. That is why we recommend enrolling additional user fingerprints and also fingerprints from your other hand.
Will the BioVault 2.0 scan my finger correctly when my finger/fingerprint is puffy after a shower/swimming?
The BioVault 2.0 has been designed to be very sensitive when authenticating and matching fingerprints. The unit will open when your fingerprint has increased moisture from after an average shower or swim and will open. There may be times when extreme water retention due to extended time in the water will cause a minuet aspect of your fingerprints to change for a short time and access to your BioVault 2.0 may be denied until your fingerprint returns to its ordinary normal condition the same as when you originally enrolled that print.
Can I travel with the BioVault 2.0 through US Customs or TSA Security at the airport?
Yes, there are no restrictions on carrying this type of item. Please be aware that you may be asked to open the BioVault 2.0 rather than passing it through x-ray and that we recommend that an enrolled user be present during transporting this item in case such as request is made by a government authority.
