Choosing your Own Access Code
• Don’t tell anyone your code.
• An access code is a series of entries on the keypad. WARNING: This is not a numeric keypad, you
cannot program digits (there is no 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10).
• An “entry” is a single press of one or more buttons at the same time.
• You can use a minimum of three entries, or a maximum of six entries, for your access code.
• For each entry of the access code, you may choose one, more than one or ALL of the buttons on
the keypad in combination.
• Be careful in choosing your access code. You’ll want to be sure that you can operate the unit
quickly without making an entry error.
• Example of a valid access code; Press button one, press button two, press all four buttons together.
• Choose an access code which is easy to use, but try to make it an access code which is difficult to
guess.
• Your current address or phone number digits are not good choices, because the keypad only has
four buttons.
Notes:
• Avoid programming in bright light; it might prevent you from seeing the red/green LED.
• Look directly down upon the keypad.
• Do not attempt to press the buttons with the safe resting upon a soft surface, such as a bed, a pillow,
or a deep pile carpet.
