If the phone number is not authorized for any gate, a message will appear: “You are not authorized at this gate.” If you receive the message “You are not authorized at this gate,” please contact the system administrator (homeowners’ association, management company, gate company, etc.) to ensure the number has been correctly registered. Pal Electronics does not intervene in system management, including adding or removing users. Attached is a short video explaining the app installation on the iOS system:

In the PalGate app, there are standardized icons that represent existing permissions or activated functions, such as the emergency command. Administrator - If this symbol appears next to the gate name, it means the user is designated as an administrator for this gate. Normal Operation - This will appear next to each gate name as long as no emergency locks (orange indicators) are active. Emergency Lock Activated - Activated by an authorized user (does not need to be an administrator for the gate). Exit Disabled by Administrator - The gate cannot be opened due to an emergency lock. Please contact the system administrator for further assistance and to release the lock.

Each user can change the gate’s name as it appears in their list and customize the gate icon with a different color. This allows for ease of use and quick identification of the desired gate, especially if the user has authorization for multiple gates. **To make these changes:** 1. Open the PalGate app. 2. Click on the settings icon (gear) next to the desired gate name. 3. In the settings screen that opens, click on the rotating arrow or "+" sign. 4.

Adding a controller to the system and activating it for the first time is done by the gate company or an authorized installer. Once the controller has been activated by an installer for the first time, it cannot be reactivated by another user, even if that user is intended to be an administrator in the system. In this case, the installer must add the user to the system and assign them as an administrator. **To activate a controller for the first time, follow these steps:** 1. Open the PalGate app and tap on the three lines on the right to open the side menu. 2. Tap on “Add New Unit.” 3. The phone camera will open (if the app requests camera access, tap “Allow”). 4. Point the camera at the QR code on the back of the device or its box – the serial number and code will be detected automatically. 5. If you prefer to enter the details manually or the sticker is unavailable, tap on “Manual.” 6. Enter the serial number (S/N) of the controller (begins with 3G…, 4G…, BT…, or RD…). 7. Enter the 5-digit code located beneath the serial number. 8. Enter the gate’s name (this name will appear for all users authorized for the gate in the app). 9. Enter the gate address and select from the suggestions in the pop-up box. If the address isn’t available, simply enter the city or town name. 10. Tap “Save.” The controller will immediately appear in “My Systems,” and you can begin using it. You may now proceed to add/manage users.

An administrator or installer in the system can make changes that affect all users, with one of the most important being the "Tools" function. Using "Tools," you can delete all users in the system with one click. Delete the controller from the system (all users will be deleted immediately and cannot be restored, even if the controller is re-added). Duplicate a controller in case of a fault, requiring replacement. All users and timers will transfer automatically and immediately to the new controller. Note! Time groups do not transfer during the duplication process and will need to be recreated and reassigned. To duplicate a controller due to an upgrade or fault: Click on "Duplicate Controller" and fill in the following fields from the QR code sticker on the new controller in the menu that appears. Important! After duplicating the controller and confirming it is set up correctly, delete the users/old controller to prevent users from seeing two controllers (where one is faulty and will display an error message each time they attempt to open it).

An administrator can view recent actions using the PalGate app, which is limited to the last 50 actions, or through the online interface, which is unlimited and shows data since the controller’s setup. **Accessing and Viewing Action History:** 1. Go to "Devices" in the left-side menu in the management interface. 2. Locate and enter the desired controller. 3. In the top toolbar, click on "History."

Adding a controller to the system and activating it for the first time is done by the gate company or an authorized installer. Once the controller has been activated by an installer for the first time, it cannot be reactivated by another user, even if they are intended to be an administrator in the system. In this case, the installer must add the user to the app or their management interface and designate them as an administrator in the system. A short instructional video on activating a new controller is attached.

Any user with administrator permissions can add users to the system through the app or their management interface. Here is an instructional video on how to add a new user in the online management interface:
