Initial Setup
› On a new unit, all fingerprint indexes are unused.
› When a new unit is powered up, it will immediately go into the Initial Setup
menu. The menu consists of a number of options that can be selected or
turned on / off, and requires numeric alues to be entered using the keypad.
The initial setup of each db Nexus unit is ery simple and should only take a couple
of minutes.
When the unit is powered-up, you should see the following on the Head Unit's LCD:
LCD CONTRAST
(0- ):[0] #=DONE
› Using the keypad on the Head Unit enter a alue 0 thru to set your
preferred contrast for the LCD display. You will see the contrast change as
each alue is selected. If the chosen contrast is not correct, try a different
alue until you ha e the desired contrast.
› Once you ha e the desired contrast, press the # key.
The next screen on the Head Unit LCD will be:
<Blank Line>

encryption that operates between the Head Unit and Control Unit and also
between the Control Unit and PC software.
Note: This same password must also be entered into the Management
Software, so please make a record of the password before entering it.
› Following the 16th digit being entered, the Head Unit will display the entered
password on the top line of the LCD and display [#]=DONE on the bottom
line. The cursor will mo e to the # character to allow you to re iew the
password. If you are certain that the password has been entered correctly
press the # key. If you want to change the password, use the * key as a

purposes. If you choose not to enroll managers ia the Head Unit at this point, the

Management Software.
