Before you can lock and unlock the door a User Code must be created. Refer to
Step 6 for instructions how to create a User Code.

lock button will flash amber as the deadbolt extends.

Up to 2 One-time User Codes can be saved. One-time User Codes should be 4 to 8
digits in length.
The One-Time User Code will be deleted automatically after it is used. The
same One-Time User Code can be created again after it’s used.
Delete a Single User Code
If unsuccessful:
Make sure you entered the same user code in steps 4 and 6.
Test code while the door is open. Test the User Code to make sure it no longer
unlocks the door.If a button is not pressed within 5 seconds, the system will
time out, and you will need to restart the procedure.

needing to access the Programming Button. This is ideal for landlords to
program the lock without access to the interior programming button.

WARNING:
This Manufacturer advises that no lock can provide complete security by
itself. This lock may be defeated by forcible or technical means, or evaded by
entry elsewhere on the property. No lock can substitute for caution, awareness
of your environment, and common sense. Builder’s hardware is available in
multiple performance grades to suit the application. In order to enhance
security and reduce risk, you should consult a qualified locksmith or other
security professional.
CAUTION:
Prevent unauthorized entry. Since anyone with access to the back panel can
change the User Codes, you must restrict access to the back panel and
routinely check the User Codes to ensure they have not been altered without
your knowledge. The use of a rogramming code can help protect your system’s
settings.
