DOOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Press the # button on the keypad of the unit.

2. A single short beep will be heard and the fingerprint sensor will power on.

3. After the fingerprint sensor flashes the second time, rest an enrolled fingerprint on the sensor window to verify.

4. If fingerprint verification was successful, (two short beeps heard)the green LED will flash and the door will unlock.

If you are not successful (red light, no beeps), reposition the enrolled finger on the sensor. You will be able to try two more times before you have to start all over from number 1.

Helpful Hints:

If you have dry hands rub the finger you are using across your forehead or other area to get some natural oil on it. This will help your fingerprint show up on the sensor.

If you still can’t get the fingerprint to work please call-- Molly/Jamie Scherf 245-3662, 880-4194(M), 880-0697(J)
Carolin Phippen 245-2037, 319-504-8755

Attention members:

 There have been multiple instances in which large amounts of dirt, lime, gravel etc. has been tracked all over the facility. We have posted signs, emailed, facebooked, etc to tell everyone to wear clean shoes. Large amounts of money is spent on these commercial machines and all it takes are those small rocks and dirt carried in on your dirty shoes to ruin them. Sand and dirt ruin the belts and bearings causing $800 plus dollars in repairs. The brand new row machine had gravel all over and around it today, as well as the bike, treadmill and eliptical.  The worst part of this today was how obvious it was and the responsible party chose to ignore it. PLEASE respect the facility! This also includes putting weights and other equipment away.

There are cleaning supplies in the closet that all members may feel free to use and clean up their mess. Remember this is a member-owned fitness center and we must work together. There is no cleaning crew coming in weekly to do the cleaning, volunteers do this in order to keep our membership cost where they are and provide top of the line equipment we all must do our part.

 Thank you
