To prevent your AutoProPAD, or even you, from ending up in a precarious situation, we’ve added some safety features that will make unauthorized ownership of your machine a problem for any would-be thief.Upon registration, a mandatory PIN code of your choosing will be required whenever you power up your AutoProPAD or awaken it from sleep mode. This process is no more complicated than unlocking your phone. If an incorrect PIN is entered multiple times, the programmer will become a paperweight until the machine registrant proves rightful ownership. Additionally, the device must momentarily connect to the internet once every 24 hours to verify that it has not been reported stolen. The tool does NOT need to remain connected to the internet to make keys! After the brief internet touch, your AutoProPAD will continue working for another 24 hours without interruption. Every time you connect to the internet, your 24-hour window will renew, so you don’t need to time this functionality. These simple but effective methods should ensure that your AutoProPAD Core remains undesirable to thieves.Why AutoProPAD?AutoProPAD devices have become a staple in the locksmithing community for their reliability, advanced capabilities, and ease of use.
