What is active mode?

In settings, you can choose to set ‘active mode’ to on or off.

If active mode is turned on, your inigma lock can be unlocked when the app is visible and running on your phone. There is no need to interact with the app in order to gain access to your lock – having the app visibly running is enough to initiate opening. This makes the unlock procedure slightly quicker.

If active mode is turned off, you will preserve your phones battery power but opening your inigma lock requires a slightly different procedure.

The open procedure for ‘active on’ and ‘active off’ are described below.

IMPORTANT: If you lock your bicycle but keep your phone within 10m of the lock ALWAYS turn ‘active mode’ off to prevent unauthorised access to your lock

What happens if my lock runs out of charge when my lock is in use?

As your app and lock will warn you when charge is running low, this situation shouldn’t arise. In the unlikely circumstances that you find that your lock has run out of charge whilst in use you will need a portable power source and a USB to Micro USB cable.

How long does it take inigma to charge?

A full charge should take less than 2 hours. If the lock is completely flat a “juice bar” or other external USB battery pack can be connected which will allow immediate access to the lock – it will charge the battery but also allow it to be opened straightaway.

Battery life is approximately 5 months with normal usage (for example regular use of up to 4 times a day). External factors such as cold weather can affect charge so the estimated battery life will depend upon usage and environmental factors.

Battery takes approximately 2 hours to fully recharge, though if you are out and about and your lock was out of charge, as soon as you have connected it to a power source you will be able to gain access.

End of product life

Products reach the end of their Product Life Cycle for a number of reasons. These reasons may be due to market demands, technology innovation and development driving changes in the product, or the products simply mature over time and are replaced by functionally richer technology. While this is an established part of the overall product life cycle, Henry Squire & Sons recognizes that end-of-life milestones often prompt companies to review the way in which such end-of-sale and end-of-life milestones impact the other Squire products in their networks.
With that in mind, we have set out below Squire’s end of life policy to help customers better manage their end-of-life transition.

• As a general rule, Squire will provide 6 months’ notice of the affected product’s end-of-sale date and/or the last day when the affected product can be ordered. This notice will appear on the Squire website and we encourage you to visit this site regularly as it contains other useful product information.

• Access to Squire’s Technical Assistance team will be available 7.5 hours a day, five days a week for a period of 2 years from the end-of-sale date for hardware and operating system software issues and for a period of 3 years from the end-of-sale date for application software issues.

• Spares or replacement parts for hardware will be available for a period of 2 years from the end-of-sale date.

Software support will be as follows:

• For the first year following the end-of-sale date, we will provide bug fixes, maintenance releases, work arounds, or patches for critical bugs

• After the first year and for Operating System software -where available- we will provide bug fixes, maintenance releases, workarounds or patches for a period of 4 years for operating system software. Bear in mind that it may be necessary to use software upgrade release to correct a reported problem.

• After the first year and for Application SW -where available – we will provide bug fixes, maintenance releases, workarounds or patches for a period of 2 years for application software. Bear in mind that it may be necessary to use software upgrade release to correct a reported problem.
