Entering Pushbutton Programming Mode 
This section describes the sequence of tasks to program the lock at the keypad in 
Pushbutton Programming Mode. 
1.  Put the lock in Programming Mode by pressing # Master code #. 
2. Use the 
Summary of Pushbutton Programming Commands table on page 8 of this 
chapter to enter the three digit command sequence (command type + function code), 
followed by #. 
3.  Enter the appropriate numbers as required. 
4. Press # to end Programming Mode. 
5.  Once the lock is in Programming Mode, multiple command sequences can be entered 
without having to repeat the # Master code #. However, if there is no activity for 15 
seconds at the keypad, the lock will automatically exit from Programming Mode. 
Example 
•  If the Master or Manager enters his/her code of 87654321, the door will open. 
•  If he/she enters #87654321#, the lock will enter into the Programming Mode and wait for 
the next part of the command. 
•  If he/she enters # twice at the end of the code, for example #87654321##, the lock will go 
out of Programming Mode and return to its normal mode. 
Note 1: The # (pound sign) acts like the Enter key on a keyboard in your communications 
with the lock. The # tells the lock that one part of the entry is finished. The # serves another 
purpose—to distinguish a programming type command from a simple Access code to open 
the door. A Master or Manager User can use the same number to open the door or to put 
the lock in Programming Mode, the only difference being that he or she uses the # sign in 
front to signal that he or she is about to enter a programming command. 
Note 2: Correct errors during a command sequence. If an invalid entry occurs, recover 
from the mistake by entering the (*) key, which will clear all entries made from the 
beginning of the current command sequence, and will reset the 15-second time limit for 
entering the code. In this case, you still have 15 seconds from the first number entered to 
enter the whole code. 
Modifying the Master User PIN (Command 000#) 
Required User Level: Master 
To change the Factory code or current Master code, follow these steps: 
1.  Put lock into Pushbutton Programming Mode. 
2.  Use the command, 000, for Master, then the new Master code number. 
3.  You must use eight digits between 00000000 and 99999999 as follows: 
000#MMMMMMMM#; for example, 000#87654321#. 
4.  Enter the Master Code again 87654321# for confirmation.  
Example of complete entry: 000#87654321#87654321#. 
5.  Key in another # to indicate the end of programming. 
6.  After you are finished, you will always use your own Master code. Please write down the 
code and keep in a safe place. The factory code is no longer valid.
