Change the battery Notice: if you don’t want to change the battery by yourself, you can contact any electronic service center which replaces watch batteries. 8.3. Are my devices compatible with Hideez Key? Before purchasing Hideez Key, you need to check whether your smartphone, PC or tablet can work with it. On Windows PC, go to the Device Manager, find Bluetooth section and make sure that there is an element called Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator If there is no Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator in your system, it means it does not support Low Energy mode. If there is no Bluetooth section, it means the Bluetooth adapter has not been installed yet. You can purchase an external USB Bluetooth adapter in either case. (Hideez Smart Bluetooth dongle is recommended). Note, that some Bluetooth adapters declare Low Energy mode supporting, but in fact, they only work with their own software. Windows does not recognize these devices as Bluetooth Low Energy adapters (Bluetooth LE Enumerator is not appearing in the device list). Hideez Safe doesn’t work in these cases. For Android-based systems, you can download Bluetooth testing software e.g. BLE Checker from Google Play. Your system is supported if you see the “BLE Supported”. 8.4. Hideez Key 2 ST102 states and control menu There are three modes of the Hideez Key 2 ST102 Mode 1 (connected) Hideez Key 2 ST102 is connected to a host device (Windows, Android) via Bluetooth. -

If you lose access to your e-mail, you will not be able to register and use Hideez Key 2 ST102 on new devices. 8.7. Hideez Key 2 ST102 pairing and Initialization The Hideez Key 2 ST102 initialization is an exchange procedure of Bluetooth channel encryption keys, as well as a loading the user encryption key. The user's key is downloading encrypted data from My Hideez service and cannot be intercepted. At the same time, the Bluetooth channel encryption keys can be potentially intercepted and used for further decryption of the data exchange. Therefore, this procedure should be carried out in a safe environment that restricts the chance that someone is using eavesdropping equipment. In order to minimize these risks, the power of the transmitter is reduced during of the connection initialization. That is why Hideez Key 2 ST102 should be placed as close as possible to the PC / phone. The channel will be encrypted and protected from interception after the initialization is finished. Since the Hideez Key 2 ST102 initialization procedure uses a web service, it requires an Internet connection. -
Page 12: Pairing With A New Device
Then press the key fob’s button. The device turns on for 60 seconds and becomes visible for Bluetooth connection (a LED-indicator flashes green slowly). Hideez Key 2 ST102 is seen as Hideez-XXXXX in the Bluetooth environment of your cell phone or PC, where XXXXX are the last digits of its serial number. After detecting the Hideez Key, please click it in the list and follow installation wizard instructions. Your My Hideez credentials will be asked during one of these steps. If the registration doesn't finish successfully for any reason, the key fob will turn off in 60 seconds. You will need to remove the Hideez Key 2 ST102 from the device list and repeat the procedure over again. When the registration is finished, the device will stay turned on permanently. The battery should work up to 6 months, depending on the amount of use and the battery quality. The highest energy consumption occurs when the audio signal is used. 8.8. Pairing With a New Device When Bluetooth communication is established between two Bluetooth devices, one of them is a host and another – a client. The Hideez Key 2 ST102 is usually a client, so, according to Bluetooth specification, it can be connected to only one host at the same time. Also, the Hideez Key 2 ST102 is invisible to other devices when it is connected. To create a new Bluetooth connection, the Hideez Key 2 ST102 has to be disconnected from any hosts. To do that, simply place the currently connected device outside the signal range or switch off its Bluetooth module. The new Bluetooth connection procedure is the same as described above. Although it is possible to maintain only one active connection, Hideez Key 2 ST102 can store the list of connection parameters set for up to 8 devices and can switch between them. When a 9th device is connected, the oldest one is removed from the device list. -
Page 13: Support Of Constant Connection
8.9. Support of Constant Connection Hideez Key 2 ST102 is designed for non-stop connection with the host-device. If the connection is broken because the devices are out of range, it will be restored automatically when they are close enough. If the key fob paired device list has more than one device, it will connect to the first one it can find. The host device (phone or PC) have to scan the Bluetooth channel from time to time to detect the Hideez Key2 ST102. Scanning cannot be performed constantly for several reasons: The Bluetooth scanning antenna cannot be used to communicate with other Bluetooth devices ● during the scanning process. Scanning requires a lot of energy that may negatively affect the operating time of the battery. ● Some Bluetooth adapters are combined with Wi-Fi adapters and use the same antenna for both ● protocols. During scanning, the Bluetooth antenna cannot be used for data transmission by Wi-Fi, which can cause a decrease in data transition rates. For these reasons the scanning time should be minimized. The Hideez Safe scanning algorithm constantly adjusts according to usage and the length of time since the last connection was lost. However, there can be a delay of 10-15 seconds to connect the key fob. Notice: Bluetooth adapter drivers do not always work properly. With intensive use, especially when they need to reconnect frequently to different devices, the adapter can go down. In these cases, Bluetooth connection and scanning are impossible. Software reset of the Bluetooth adapter may help. It may also be necessary to restart a PC. 8.10. Switching Between Paired Devices Hideez Key 2 ST102 can switch between Paired Devices. To do this, press and hold the multifunctional button for 2-4 seconds. Hideez Key 2 ST102 will disconnect from the current device and will start advertising for other devices from its list. The first device which finds Hideez Key, will connect it. If these devices do not respond, or only one device is present in the list, Hideez Key 2 ST102 will connect to the previous device again. Switching between devices can take up to 10 seconds for the reasons described in the previous section. 8.11. Shutdown and Deleting of Personal Data in Hideez Key If you need to give Hideez Key 2 ST102 out to another person, you need to perform the command "Remove from account" first. This command deletes all the user data (including credentials and encryption keys) from the device. After that, the key fob is clean and can be connected to another account. This command requires an Internet connection. You will be asked to enter the password from your Hideez account while deleting the data. If you gave the key fob to another person, but forgot to remove it from your account, a new user will receive the error message "The device is registered to another user." This person will not be able to initialize or read data from Hideez Key. In this case, you can remove the Hideez Key 2 ST102 from your account remotely with... -
Page 14: Hideez Safe Application Update
Notice: If you lost your key fob, do not delete it from your account. No one can use it or have access to your data without your My Hideez account password. If you remove the key fob from your account, someone will be able to start using it as a new device. 8.12. Hideez Safe Application Update The Hideez Safe Client software is regularly updated. New features, localizations to other languages and bug fixes are constantly improving the stability and convenience of the device. An update of Hideez Safe app for Android or iOS are similar to any other software installed through these app markets. Hideez Safe for PC checks for updates by itself. The user can also check for available updates on the main screen of the app. By clicking on [Update] you will start the download and installation process. 8.13. Updating Hideez Key 2 ST102 firmware The Hideez Key 2 ST102 firmware is improved constantly. The user can get new features by updating the firmware via the Hideez Safe application. The availability of firmware updates is checked automatically on a regular basis. The user can also check for updates by clicking the "Check for Firmware Updates". It is highly recommended to update the Hideez Safe application before updating the firmware. Place the Hideez Key 2 ST102 as close as possible to a paired device for the fastest and most stable connection during the update. The micro program consists of two components: the loader and the firmware. The loader downloads the firmware via Bluetooth and replaces the old version. The firmware contains all the working logic. The bootloader can also be updated; however, its updates are required much less often than firmware updates. To perform a firmware update, you need to: Connect the Hideez Key 2 ST102 to host device (PC or tablet with) Hideez Safe installed. ● Make sure Hideez Key 2 ST102 battery is charged (there is no notification of low battery). ● Connect the host device to the Internet. ● Select the item "Check for Updates" and follow the instructions on the screen in Hideez Safe ● program. Upgrading the firmware from Windows is more complicated than from Android. The reason is that there are OS limits on Bluetooth connection operation by software. During the update process, the user will be asked to add / remove devices in the system window of Bluetooth settings for several times. Please note, that it is always necessary to add or remove a device with a name that starts with "v23", e.g. "v23-Hideez-12345". If firmware updates haven’t been installed for a long time, it might be needed to install it step by step. For example, to install the latest version of the firmware 1.1x, then latest version of 1.2x etc. Note: The firmware from the Hideez site is always encrypted by Hideez private key. This prevents firmware spoofing and malicious code injection into the Hideez Key. -
Page 15: Hideez Key 2 St102 Operation
In this mode, a Hideez Key 2 ST102 is seen under the name "v23-Hideez-XXXXX", where XXXXX is the last five digits of the serial number. Connect the key fob as usual, using the adding the new device function in Hideez Safe. This device is able to be updated or removed only. Once connected, please, check for updates and follow to the updating wizard instructions. The most common reason for update failure is a discharged battery. In this case, replace the battery. Do not use the Wi-Fi of the paired phone or PC while update process, because Wi-Fi can affect the quality of the Bluetooth connection. Note: The battery discharges much quicker in bootloader mode than in regular mode. Do not leave the key fob in this mode for a long time. If you cannot update the firmware for some reason, remove the battery and contact technical support. 9. Hideez Key 2 ST102 Operation 9.1. Control of access to a PC There are a lot of authentication methods, such as passwords, or smart cards with PIN or biometric authentication. However, Hideez Key 2 ST102 provides one more authentication method - using the physical presence of the key fob next to a device that needs to be accessed. This is the most convenient method, but it requires Hideez Key 2 ST102 to be kept secure. You can use the access control function for both Windows Desktop and Android-based devices. 9.2. Setting up ‘My Places’ for Android My Places allows you to configure device settings based on the location. It is used for Touch Guard and Theft Alarm. The program uses three location profiles: Home, Office and Street. It is possible to specify certain criteria to determine the location for home and office. The Street profile means the user is away from both home and office. Hideez Safe determines the location by GPS or by the presence of specific Wi-Fi networks. To add a new criterion, press the button (+) of the desired profile. After that the setup wizard will launch and allow you to choose one of these options: A point on the map. Open the map and then press and hold the point until a circle appears around it. ● Then you can change the radius of the circle using the control at the bottom of the window. If you want to change the position of the circle, press and hold another point on the map. The setting will be activated when the phone's coordinates are inside the circle. District location. Specify the perimeter on the map. Click the point of one of the corners; the first ● marker will appear on the map. Then click a point for the second angle and place a second marker. After adding the third marker, you will see a line connecting all the points in a circle. Add as many points as required to indicate the selected area. To remove a point, just click on it and then click on the icon "X" over the point. The criterion will be turned on when phone coordinates enter the outlined area. -

You may edit or delete a criterion by swiping to the left or right and confirming the operation. You can also switch the profile manually using the icon at the top of the main window. If the profile is changed manually, it will be active until any other criterion is triggered. Note: to ensure My Places works best, you should turn on the GPS on your phone. This option can be found in the Settings. Please note that this may increase battery consumption. 9.3. Protection of Windows PC Hideez Safe for Windows PC adds one more way to log into PC – via Hideez Key 2 ST102 presence. The full list of possible authorization methods can be seen in "Sign-in options” on the PC lock screen: On the picture above there are four ways to enter: Hideez Key, fingerprint reader, PIN code and password. When choosing Hideez Key, the computer will automatically be unlocked if your key fob is placed close enough. You will need to adjust the input options of the program Hideez Safe ("PC Llocker" tab): Set the checkbox ‘Use this device to Lock/Unlock the PC’. ● Type in your local / domain user name. Use the dropdown to pick one of the local PC users. ● Type in the appropriate password. This password is stored in the Hideez Key, not on the PC ● Save the changes. ●... -
Page 17: Password Manager
With the Advanced Settings. you can adjust the Bluetooth signal levels to lock or unlock the PC. The left border is set for the locking level of the signal. When the level drops below this value, the computer will be locked. There is a few-second delay to ensure that the signal level has actually dropped. This reduces the possibility of a false lock from random interference on the radio channel. The level of the signal unlock is on the right. If the level goes above this value, Your PC can be unlocked either manually or automatically. The current signal level is shown in an indicator above the settings for the signal levels. Use this indicator to find a specific value at which to lock and unlock your PC. Set the lower signal threshold 20% higher to avoid locking it accidentally. The "Do not switch the screen automatically" option is disabled by default. This means that when you approach the computer and the signal level reaches the upper value, the screen is turned on. Your computer will be unlocked and you will see the desktop without even touching your computer. If this option is enabled, you will need to press Enter or swipe the lock screen (on devices with touch screens). Note: All your previous input methods can be also used. 9.4. Password Manager Hideez Key 2 ST102 can store any credentials. The number of passwords and logins is limited only by the amount of available internal memory (76 KB). These credentials can be entered into any application or web browser. Android 5.0 and above allows you to automatically input credentials or credentials can also be entered by clicking the key fob button or by pressing keyboard hotkeys (for Windows). The Hideez Password Manager uses the term “account” that is a combination of a username and a password, OTP secret key and the account name. Detailed information about one-time passwords can be found in the "One-time passwords" section. Account names help users to distinguish accounts in the list. Account names must be unique or contain different logins. By default, the account name matches the domain of the web site, the title of the application for Android or the window title for Windows applications. Along with these fields, accounts also contain additional information about account usage. The root domain name is added for a web site; an Android package name is added for Android applications and the title of the program window is added for Windows applications. Web sites information is common for all operating systems and will be visible on any device. However, specific information about Android or Windows applications is only displayed in the corresponding OS. -
Page 18: Working With Passwords In Android And Ios
All information is stored in the key fob, but not on PCs or phones. Accounts that you store on your device are shared and can be seen on all devices. This option helps to avoid the problem of data synchronization between devices without using cloud storage. A single Password manager account can be linked to multiple web-sites or applications, including different operating systems. If a password was changed, all the linked applications and sites will automatically use the new password. 9.4.1. Working with Passwords in Android and iOS Hideez Key 2 ST102 works differently on Android and iOS. Entering passwords in iOS is only possible in Safari. For Android, passwords are entered in web pages (only Chrome and Opera browsers), as well as in most applications installed on the smartphone (this depends on the implementation of the application). If you find a program in which the password does not work, contact Hideez technical support. When a solution is found, it will be included in the following updates of the Hideez Safe program.

The combinations of keys below are set by default: Command Windows MacOS Enter login Control + Alt + L ⌃⇧A Enter password Control + Alt + P ⌃⇧P Enter password by default Control + Alt + D ⌃⇧D Add new password Control + Alt + A ⌃⇧A Generate OTP Control + Alt + O ⌃⇧O The key fob button has the following settings: Amount of the clicks Action 1 click Block the PC 2 clicks Enter password 3 clicks Enter login 4 clicks Generate OTP You can easily change these settings. Add and enter passwords in web browsers The easiest way to add a new password (account) is to do it from the target application directly. For example, open an Internet browser, go to any website that requires a password and click on the password field. Click... -
Page 21: Automatic Password Generation
The "Application or the site" field will contain the site domain name. This field is used to search in the list later on; thus, it is recommended not to change it. However, you can remove a subdomain any time. For example, you may leave enter hideez.com instead of my.hideez.com. This makes the record applicable to all site subdomains. This field can contain several web-domains, each one on a new row. The "Account Name" is also automatically filled in with a domain name. You can enter any text here. The "Login" field should be filled in manually. If the login has been used earlier, you can choose it from the drop-down list. Logins are removed from this list automatically when they are no longer being used. The "Password" must be filled in manually. After filling in all the fields, click [Save], and then return to the text field in the browser and press the appropriate hotkey combination. Your password will be entered into the target text field. Logins and OTPs (see details here: One-time passwords) can be entered the same way. Note: The Hideez Safe program can work with the latest versions of the most popular Internet browsers – Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Edge (Windows) and Safari, Chrome (Mac). For other browsers, the system will perform like a normal desktop application, using the window title instead of web-domain. Tip: Upgrade your browser to the latest version, if the web-domain is not automatically recognized by Hideez Safe. Tip: If you are registered on the same resource for multiple logins, the program will ask you to add the first account and then will apply this account further. To add another login, please use a special hotkey combination “Control + Alt + A” to create a new account in Hideez Safe Password manager. Automatic Password Generation When you create new credentials for web, it is convenient to use an automatic password generation. The generated password will be unique and secure. To create it press the “Generate” button while editing the account. A generated password can be seen by clicking on the icon. Then save your account, go to the registration page in the browser and use the stored password in both fields in order to enter and confirm the password. -
Page 22: Changing Password
Tip: Always create unique passwords for different services. If someone does manage to compromise of one of the passwords, the other passwords will not be affected. Changing Password It is often necessary to change the password on any of the web resources. You usually need to enter the old password, then enter the new one and confirm it. First, use the key fob to enter the old password. Then open the Hideez Safe box, go to the password manager, search for the necessary account and open it for editing. In the editing window, click “Change Password” and the “Generate” button. Then save your account, open the browser and use the new password. Tip: If an error occurs on the web server before the password change is complete, you can use the backup data copy to load the initial password to the key fob and repeat the procedure again. Please remember, that this procedure restores the whole Hideez Key 2 ST102 memory including other Password Manager items. Adding and Entering Passwords in Desktop Applications Hideez Safe can enter credentials into web pages, as well as into applications. Just place the cursor on the input field of the login and password, and press the appropriate hotkey combination, or the key fob button. The program determines the current active window, gets the window title and the name of the program process and tries to find the information for the appropriate account. Just as with websites, if there is no corresponding account, you will be asked to add a new one. The "Application or website" field will be automatically filled in with the window title. This field will be used to search for the account. You can remove irrelevant words from this field. The search will use the following algorithm: the account is considered to be a match if every word of this field can be found in the title of the window where the password is being entered. This field can include several lines; each line is processed independently. So, you can set up an account for several different programs. The "Account Name" field is also automatically filled in with the window title. You can enter any name here. The "Login" field should be filled in manually. If you entered the login earlier, you can select it from the drop- down list. Logins are removed from the list automatically when they are no longer being used. The "Password" field must be filled in manually. After filling in all the fields, click “Save”, and then return to the window, where you need to enter your password and press the key combination again. The password will be entered automatically. Similarly, you can enter your username or OTP. See video “How to add passwords” to WEB and desktop apps for Windows and Mac on the channel http://youtube.com/hideez. Adding Passwords manually You can also add a new account for the selected program using the Hideez Safe interface. First, press the “+” in the Password Manager as it shown on the picture below. The "Application or website" option has [Add URL] and [Add application] buttons. “Add application” opens a list of window titles for all the opened programs on your PC. “Add Url” displays domain names in opened tabs... -
Page 23: Choosing From Several Suitable Accounts
Desktop Applications sections. Choosing from Several Suitable Accounts Sometimes you need to create several accounts for a single resource. For example, you may have a personal and corporate email with Gmail. Hideez Safe cannot know which Gmail account you want to use, so you need to choose from a list of suitable accounts. This list will appear in the corner of the screen near the Hideez Safe icon. Import passwords from CSV-file Hideez Safe can import passwords from a CSV file into Hideez Key. To do that click the icon in the Password Manager. You will see the figures like below. Among the found items, mark the necessary ones and click the [Import] button. Hideez Safe for Mac works similarly. -
Page 24: Using The Default Password
Using the Default Password One of your passwords can be assigned as the default password. This password will be entered every time you press a hotkey combination to enter the “default password” (the default setting is Control + Alt + D). To set this password, open the “Hotkey” tab and select it in the list. Setting Hotkeys Hotkey combinations make credentials usage much easier. The default settings are easy to remember, however, you can change them in the Hotkeys section. Place the cursor in the needed input field and press a new hotkey combination that you want to assign. If this does not work, then this combination is already being used by the operating system or other software. In this case, choose a different hotkey combination. When you start Hideez Safe, it registers all the key combinations with Windows, so that they can be used in any program. If another program has already registered the combination, Hideez Safe will notify you. In this case, you must choose a different shortcut. Removing Records from the Password Manager To delete a Password Manager entry, open it for editing and click "Delete Account" at the bottom of the screen. If it is not used for another account, the appropriate login will also be deleted from the key fob. Note: You can completely clean the Hideez Key 2 ST102 memory by clicking "Remove from account" in your device settings. 9.5. One-time Passwords (OTP) and Two-Factor Authentication Hideez Key 2 ST102 supports one-time passwords (time based one-time password, TOTP) according to RFC 6238 standard. The main idea of using one-time passwords is that there is a shared secret known only by two devices (a private key). Using encryption, one of the devices generates a short (e.g., six-digit) one-time password based on this key. This password is sent to the second device to be checked. The second device uses the same algorithm. It generates the same secret key, creates a one-time password and compares it with the password received from the first device. If the passwords are the same - access will be granted. One-time passwords are so called because of their generation algorithm. In addition to the private key, the one-time password counter is also used here. Each time the password will differ from the previous one. The counters on both sides must be synchronized: if at least one password is missed, they will not be the same and the algorithm will be broken. Another convenient option for one-time password generation can be synchronization by time. In this case, the generation algorithm does not use the counter, but the current time. With time synchronization between the devices, you always get the same passwords on both sides. According to RFC 6238 standards, the time is rounded up to the nearest 30 seconds: for example, every 30 seconds your one-time password will change. Hideez Key 2 ST102 uses the second option: synchronization by time. Time synchronization between the key fob and the computer / smartphone occurs when a connection is established between them. In order to work properly, you need to set the correct time on your PC, otherwise it will not coincide with the time on the server that checks the OTP and the passwords will not match. You can add the OTP secret key to any account in the password manager window. The following information shows how to use Hideez Key 2 ST102 for Google two-factor authentication (2FA). -
Page 25: Backup And Recovery Of The User Data
Go to your account security settings https://accounts.google.com/b/0/SmsAuthConfig ● Turn on 2FA for your account (corporate clients may need corporate admin confirmation). ● Google may ask for your mobile number. Input it and put in the special code received from Google ● via SMS. Choose “Get codes via our mobile app instead”, and check “Android”. ● In the “Set up Google Authenticator” dialog click on the link “Can't scan the barcode?” and find ● the 32-symbol secret key shown in the form of text. Copy the secret key into the clipboard. ● Open your Password manager entry, click “Enter secret OTP key”, paste the copied data and save ● the changes. After that, open the browser and click OK to complete the settings. Google will immediately ask ● you to enter a one-time password to be sure that you have configured everything properly. Press the key combination to enter the OTP (the default is Control + Alt + O). A one-time password will be created in the key fob and will be entered in the input field. Before it checks the OTP, the secret key will not be applied and the two-factor authentication will be turned off. See video of Google 2FA settings with Hideez Key 2 ST102 for Windows and Mac on the channel http://youtube.com/hideez. Note: Each new secret code generation on the Google web-service makes the previous code invalid, so you need to install the private key on all the devices simultaneously, e.g. Hideez Key 2 ST102 and Google Authenticator on your smartphone. 9.6. Backup and Recovery of the User Data Hideez Key 2 ST102 contains 76 KB of user memory and can store thousands of passwords, logins, keys and other information. To prevent losing this data, Hideez Safe can backup and restore user data. The backup file should be kept on local PC/tablet storage only. The file is encrypted by your My Hideez password according to AES-256. The file name contains the *.hb extension. It includes the device name as well as the date and time of last modification of data in the key fob memory. To recover the file, you need to enter the password manually. Please note, if you change your account password, you will need to enter the password that was used when the backup was created. In Hideez Key 2 ST102 for Android, the “backup and recovery” menu can be found in the context menu of the key fob. For the Windows version, it is in the Hideez Key 2 ST102 properties section. - Page 26 Although the backup file is encrypted, it is recommended to store it in a safe place. If lost, any local file can potentially be cracked through brute force decryption. For details, see. Recommendations for safe usage. Note: The Hideez Key 2 ST102 should be registered and initialized to perform backup / recovery operations. Tip: The backup / restore procedure can be used to transfer data between Hideez Key 2 ST102 devices of one user as well as to transfer data between devices of different users. (the password that was used to backup will be required). 9.7. Protection and Search of Hideez Key Due to the constant Bluetooth connection, Hideez Key 2 ST102 helps prevent its own loss, as well as the loss of other devices that are associated with it. The key fob is considered forgotten if the phone switches from “Home” / “Office” profile to “Street” profile and Hideez Key 2 ST102 device is not connected. The key fob is considered lost if it had been connected and suddenly the level dropped below the threshold. When your phone switches to the “Street” profile, it verifies whether all the key fobs are connected. If any of them are absent, both the warning sound and notice log recording are activated. Each key fob has a separate log recording. The audio warning is played once for each forgotten tag. A device protection mode is available in Hideez Safe for Android only. You can enable and configure it in the "Theft Alarm" section: Turn on the "Watch for the loss of connection" switch ● Set a ringtone that will notify you about the loss. ● Select the option to turn the sound on for the key fob. If it is turned off, the sound will only be ● activated on the phone. Specify the profiles that you want to use this feature. By default, it is turned on for “Office” and ● “Street” modes, while it is turned off for “Home” profile. The program is set to trigger when the signal level drops to 10%. If you want to change these settings, go to the "Advanced Mode" menu. After that, there will be more options in the "Theft alarm" window: Proximity level is the distance between two Bluetooth devices. It is defined as a percentage ranging ● from 0 to 100, where 100 is the best signal and 0 is a connection loss.

Page 27: How To Find Keyfob With Your Smartphone
Latency is the time delay before triggering. It is used along with “Proximity level” and helps to avoid ● false alarms caused by temporary fluctuations in signal strength. The action to take when the signal drops below the threshold level is not made until the time passes (Latency). Note: Using audio signals on the key fob can significantly drain the battery, so this option is disabled by default. 9.7.1. How to find keyfob with your smartphone If the key fob has an active connection, but you cannot find it, you can turn on its audible signal: If the sound for some reason is not audible, you can focus on the signal level, which directly depends on the distance between the smartphone and key fob. Note: The phone displays the signal level, not the signal direction. The signal level depends very much on the antenna’s location within the phone, the phone location in the hand, obstacles in the area, signal reflections etc. 9.7.2. Track with Google Maps If Hideez Key 2 ST102 connection is lost, Hideez Safe app remembers the coordinates when it happened. Go to the device drop down menu and choose “Last seen” to see the key fob last location on Google Maps. 9.8. Biometric Authentication of Android user Hideez Safe uses biometric identification of TouchID - fingerprint recognition for easy authentication. To use Biometric Authentication TouchID - Fingerprint recognition, please do the following: 1. Open "Settings" from the main menu. 2. Ensure that the "Require PIN to sign in to the application" is turned on. 3. Enable the "Activate fingerprint scanner". -

Page 31: Annex 2. Safety Precautions
12. Annex 2. Safety Precautions 1. Use a strong password for your Hideez account. This password, unlike the others, you will need to enter manually. To create a strong password, please follow these general guidelines: The password must contain at least six characters. ● The password can contain numbers, letters, spaces and special characters (".", ",", "?", "!", "<", ">". "" ● " and others). It is strongly recommended that you make a password using a mix of numeric and alphabetic ● (uppercase and lowercase) characters. Do not use the following as a password: Common words and phrases. ● Sets of symbols that are the combinations of keys arranged in a row on the keyboard, such as: qwerty, ● 123456789, qazxsw etc... Personal data, such as names, addresses, passport numbers, insurance certificates, etc., and the ● passwords you use to run other programs (e-mail, databases, etc.). 2. Create a new, unique password for every service you use. 3. If possible, use automatic password generation. Such passwords are very secure. 4. Securely store the backup files, because any local file can be hacked through a brute force attack. It is a good idea to store the copy on your second Hideez Key 2 ST102 device. If someone attempts to find the key to access the device, it will be blocked forever after 1000 failed attempts. The web service my.hideez.com has similar protection. The backup can be also stored on secure flash drives, or kept in a safe place, such as a safety deposit box. 5. Use anti-virus software, do not visit suspicious sites, do not install software from untrusted sources and do not open e-mail attachments with the extensions *.exe, or *.apk. -

14. Annex 4. Frequently Asked Questions How long does the Hideez Key 2 ST102 work before the battery needs to be changed? The estimated operation time of Hideez Key 2 ST102 is up to 6 months, depending on usage and the quality of the battery. The highest energy consumption occurs when using audio signals on the key fob. How do I change the battery? Will the data be lost? All user data is stored in non-volatile memory. When the power is turned off, they are always saved. Will Hideez Key 2 ST102 work with an iPhone or Mac? Yes, it will work after Hideez Safe for iOS is released. However, the lock / unlock functions on the iPhone are not available because of iOS limitations. How I can I clean my Hideez Key 2 ST102 if I want to give it to someone else? Each Hideez Key 2 ST102 is registered to the My Hideez account of its owner. To give it to someone else, the owner should run the “Unregister” procedure. This will clean the device registration and wipe out all the user data. If you forgot to unregister before giving the device to another person, you can do it in your my.hideez.com personal cabinet. What physical conditions are dangerous for the Hideez Key? What about electromagnetic radiation, direct sunlight and magnetic fields? The Hideez Key 2 ST102 is made of plastic and doesn’t provide extra resistance. Electronic components retain their characteristics in normal environments (direct sunlight, electromagnetic radiation) that are safe for humans. It is not recommended that you expose the device to prolonged sunlight to avoid damaging the plastic housing. Is the Hideez Key 2 ST102 allowed on planes? Yes, it is. The device receives and transmits radio frequency according to the Bluetooth 4.0 compatible standard for a short distance, and does not need to be turned off in an aircraft, according to FAA instructions from October 31, 2013. If you use personal medical devices (such as pacemakers and hearing aids), consult with your doctor or the manufacturer to find out whether they are protected against external RF signals. What should I do if my Hideez Key 2 ST102 was stolen? If only the Hideez Key 2 ST102 was stolen, but your computer and your phone are with you, then remove the key fob from the Hideez Safe programs. Do not use the "Delete my account" command, since you will allow to use your Hideez Key 2 ST102 to be used as a new device. No one can connect to or use your devices, if they do not know the password to your account. The Web server and the label are protected from attempts to guess the password. If the Hideez Key 2 ST102 was stolen together with an attached device, you will need to change the password on your Hideez account. After Hideez Safe programs are restarted, they will not be able to log in to the server and therefore will not be able to use the key fob. Can I use the key fob if my PC does not have Bluetooth 4.0 compatible adapter? Yes, you can purchase a separate adapter that will be connected via USB. You can find the details on the section Are my devices compatible with Hideez Key? Where are my passwords physically stored? Are they copied to a computer / phone, or to the cloud? - Page 34 Passwords are stored on the key fob only. When a password is required for a computer or phone, Hideez Safe requests it from the key fob, enters the password and immediately removes it from memory. The passwords are not copied to the cloud, but you can make a copy of the data from the key fob using an encrypted local file. Can I make a backup copy of the data from the key fob? Yes, the Hideez Safe client provides data backup to a local file. The file is encrypted with the password of your account (the password that you use to launch the program). Then the encrypted file is saved to the disk. AES256 encryption algorithm in CBC mode is always used. It is worth mentioning that the key fob and the web service are protected from hacking by brute force attacks. However, the backup file cannot be fully protected with this level of protection. That is why we highly recommend keeping the backup file in a safe place (for example, USB flash drive in a safe deposit box). Do not store it on a hard drive or in the cloud.
