USER MANUAL 379E CHAMBERLAIN

Model 379E Fingerprint Keyless Entry

OVERVIEW

For use with any Chamberlain 433MHz Rolling Code garage door opener having an orange "learn" button.

The system uses biometric technology that enables an

authorized user to gain access by scanning their fingerprint.

The sensor strip on the unit makes a numeric template of the fingerprint that is unique to that user. The unit's memory can store up to ten fingerprints.

• The term "enroll" refers to scanning the fingerprint so the device will recognize the user.
• The term "stripe" refers to the movement of the finger across
  the sensor strip.
• The term "LED" stands for Light Emitting Diode. There are 6 LEDs located on the Fingerprint Keyless Entry.

When unit is on, it is programmed to shut off after a short period of time. The unit's sensor strip is sensitive so it is important to read the Tips for Success before attempting to use the Fingerprint Keyless Entry.

NOTE: Do not attempt swiping your finger across sensor strip until you are ready to enroll as you may inadvertently begin the enroll process.

STEP 1 INSTALL THE UNIT

1. Remove cover.
2. Fasten bottom screw to mounting surface. Allow 1/8
   (3 mm) to protrude above surface. Position unit on screw head and adjust for snug fit.
3. Fasten top screw. Replace cover.

WARNING

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate or garage door:

• Install Keyless Entry Control within sight of the garage door, out of reach of children at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m), and away from all moving parts of door.
• ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children. NEVER permit children to operate, or play with remote control transmitters.
• Activate gate or door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.
• ALWAYS keep gate or garage door in sight until completely closed.
  NEVER permit anyone to cross path of moving gate or door.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

CORRECT

1. Make sure finger is clean and dry. Place finger flat above the sensor strip with the top knuckle above the sensor.
2. Swipe finger straight down keeping firm contact with the sensor. The swipe should be a slow, constant speed.

SPECIAL NOTES: Use the same finger for every swipe. It is important to swipe finger slowly and firmly as this is the reason most swipes fail.

INCORRECT

• Do not bend finger during swipe as this will only scan the tip of your finger.
• Swipe finger straight down, not at an angle.
• Swipe flat, not tilted or rolled to one side.
