How do I delete a specific fob or card?

When the device was installed, an issue record should have been kept. This may be on the last page of the supplied manual or kept digitally. Refer to the issue record and see page 5 of the manual.
If no issue record was kept, you may need to delete all users and re-add them.

Unexpected beeping or flashing or not reading cards properly

This can often be caused by a faulty power supply or not enough current. Fit a new transformer.
Double check all cabling and connections. Take off the wall and connect directly to the power supply to rule out any cabling issues or short circuits.
