FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about the BioVault 2.0 from iQBio Partner Sequiam:

Q: What happens to the fingerprints that are stored in the BioVault 2.0 when the batteries die or during a power outage when plugged in using the A/C adapter?
A: The BioVault 2.0 retains all fingerprints in the event of total power loss. Once the power is restored (by either inserting new batteries or when the electricity is restored to the A/C adapter), the unit will function as it did before the power loss.

Q: Can different BioVault 2.0 units use the same wall mount?
A: Yes, all BioVault 2.0 units are designed to utilize the same wall mounts.  For additional versatility, you may even mount one in your vehicle!

Q: Is the BioVault 2.0 fire proof?
A: No, the BioVault 2.0 is not fire proof or fire resistant. The BioVault 2.0 has been specifically designed for secure quick access control and convenience.

Q: What do I do when I cannot open my BioVault 2.0?
A: Please follow the following suggestions to open your BioVault 2.0:

• Swipe your fingerprint over the scanner slowly and completely.
• Swipe an alternative registered fingerprint from another finger or from your other hand.
• If the unit is using battery power, replace the batteries or plug in the A/C adapter to the BioVault 2.0 and retry.
• If the unit still will not open, please e-mail biovault@sequiam.com or call 407-541-0765 for additional assistance.

Q: Can the BioVault 2.0 use rechargeable D-Cell batteries?
A: Yes, although we do not recommend them as the voltage of rechargeable batteries is slightly lower than Alkaline cells.  If you choose to use the rechargeables they can not be recharged inside the BioVault 2.0 even if the A/C adapter is plugged in.

Q: If I cut my finger, does the fingerprint heal the same as before and will it open my safe?
A: 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.

Q: Can someone cutoff my finger and try to use it to open the BioVault?
A: No, BioVault 2.0 uses technology that detects live fingers for scanning, so in the unfortunate event that a detached finger is used to attempt access the unit will not open.  Realistically, if you are ACTUALLY seriously concerned about this threat to your personal security, we recommend that you seek other products and/or seek competent psychiatric counsel.

Q: Can I travel with the BioVault 2.0 through US Customs or TSA Security at the airport?
A: 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.

Q: Where can I send the BioVault 2.0 for repair?
A: You must first contact Sequiam Biometrics to get a return for repair authorization by emailing biovault@sequiam.com or by calling 407-541-0765.
