Creating Emergency Keys (continued) 
 
Note: If a key is not currently in the electronic key encoder, the PC will display an error screen until you 
insert a key into the electronic key encoder.  
 
Note: You must keep the USB cable connected between the electronic key encoder base and the PC 
while the key image spins on the PC screen. The PC screen will display, “The write operation was 
successful! The Key ID for this key is 1.”  
 
Note: The SAM RF System designates 
every new key created as Key ID 1. 
Each subsequent key you create as a 
duplicate key will be designated Key ID 
2, Key ID 3, etc. – up to Key ID 64. 
Carefully assigning key IDs will increase 
the level of security the SAM RF System 
provides – allowing you to know exactly 
who has which keys and helping you 
make sure that any lost or stolen keys 
no longer provide access. 
 
10. Click OK on the PC dialog box screen 
message to create additional keys. Follow 
the procedure described above to continue 
creating duplicate keys. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Note: The “Keys Made This Session” number at the bottom of the PC dialog box will change to reflect 
each key you create. 
 
Note: It is recommended that you label each key as it is created to avoid confusion later.
