The plastic chip for unlocking the entrance doors at the dormitory must be updated when you move in. Update the chip by placing it in front of a sensor and holding it there until the green light has flashed four times. It’s important that you don’t remove the chip before the four flashes.

You must update the chip every fourth day hereafter. If you do not update the chip, it does not work for the door.
