Volume Up! Steps to Increase Alert Sound for FingerTec Device

Introduction

All doors that are installed with FingerTec door access device and door sensor have an alarm

feature that will be triggered if the doors remain open for a certain period of time.

Since the alert is triggered from an internal built-in speaker within the device, the sound might
not be loud enough to alert other individuals.

This article will guide you on how to increase the alert sound through an external speaker.

*Note: These steps should only be done by FingerTec authorized resellers/technicians.

Benefits

By following this customization, the alert sound from the internal speaker will now emit from

an external speaker thus increasing user’s alertness whenever the door is not closed properly.

1.    Female Audio Jack
