Master Entry Code must be created first. *Max user codes = 250 with Smart Module; 25 without

Deleting Entry Codes

Deleting one entry code:        To delete all entry codesTo delete one entry code,        (Does not delete Master Entry Code):you must enter the entrycode you wish to delete.

Unlocking Door with Entry Codes

Setting Definitions

Settings	Default Setting	Definition
Master Entry Code	Creation required*	The Master Entry Code is used for programming and for feature settings. It must be created prior to programming the lock. The Master code will also operate (unlock/lock) the lock.
Auto Re-lock	Disabled	After a successful code entry or manual unlock with the key, the lock will automatically re-lock after each unlock in an effort to keep your home secure. This feature is optional, and can be turned off. In the ON mode, the lock will automatically re-lock after thirty (30) seconds.
Inside Indicator Light	Disabled (Off)	Located on the inside lock. Shows active status (Locked) of lock and can be enabled or disabled in the Advanced Lock Settings (Main Menu selection #3).
One Touch Locking	Enabled	When the latch is retracted, activating the keypad will extend the latch (during Auto Re-lock duration or when Auto Re-lock is disabled). When One-Touch Re-lock is not in use (disabled), any valid PIN code will re-lock the lock.
Privacy Button	Disabled	Privacy mode is disabled by default. Enable Privacy mode by pressing the privacy button for 4 seconds to put the lock in do- not-disturb mode (all pin codes are disabled).
Volume	Enabled (Low)	The volume setting for entry code verification is set to Low (2) by default; otherwise it can be set to High (1) or Silent (3) for quiet areas.
Language	English	Choosing English (1), Spanish (2) or French (3) becomes the (default) setting for the lock’s voice prompts.
All Code Lockout Mode	Disabled	This feature is enabled by the Master Entry Code. When enabled, it restricts all user (except Master) Entry Code access. When attempting to enter a code while the lock is in All Code Lockout mode, the RED locked padlock will appear on the screen.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Suggested Action
Lock does not respond – door is open and accessible.	•     Yale keypad becomes active when the Yale logo is pressed. Verify contact with the logo. •     If keypad numbers are visible, check to see if they respond when pressed. •     Check batteries are installed and oriented correctly (polarity) in battery case. •     Check batteries are in good condition; replace batteries* if batteries are dead. •     Check to see if keypad cable is fully connected and is not pinched.
Lock does not respond – door is locked and inaccessible.	•      Batteries may not have enough power. Replace batteries*. •      Apply a 9V battery to terminals below the keypad for backup power option.
Lock is on for a while then shows no reaction. Lights dim.	•     Batteries do not have enough power. Replace batteries*.
Lock chimes to indicate code acceptance, but door will not open.	•     Check the door gaps for any foreign objects between door and frame. •     Check that the cable is firmly connected to the inside lock.
Lock operates to allow access, but will not automatically re-lock.	•     Check to see if Auto Re-lock is enabled. •     Disable Auto Re-lock to lock the door (manually). •     If low battery indicator is lit, change batteries*.
Entry codes will not register.	•     Entry codes must consist of 4 to 8 digits. •     The same entry code cannot be used for multiple users. •     Management of entry codes is set by the authority of the Master Code, which is set first. Contact the Master user. •     Entry codes must be entered within 5 seconds (while keypad is active) or process will have to be restarted. •     Check  or gear cannot be used as part of the entry code.
Upon entering an entry code and pressing      key, the lock displays “invalid code” error or lock times out without responding.	•     Verify entered code is a valid, previously programmed, 4 to 8 digit code. •     All Code Lockout Mode is enabled. Only the Master Entry Code can enable/disable All Code Lockout Mode. Contact the Master user.
Upon entering an entry code and pressing the                   key, red padlock icon appears and there are different tones.	•     Check to see if the lock is set to All Code Lockout Mode. Setting/managing All Code Lockout Mode is done through Master Entry Code only. Contact Master user.
Lock operates, but makes no sound.	•     Check to see if Volume is set to Silent (see Feature #4).
Lock responds “Low Battery”	•     This is the alert to replace the batteries. Replace all four (4) batteries* with new AA Alkaline batteries.
Upon entering an entry code and pressing the        key, lock responds “Wrong number of digits”.	•     The digits entered were incorrect or incomplete. Re-enter the correct code followed by the check                                                             key.
Lock shows an X on keypad after entering a code.	•     Bolt failed to fully retract. Refer to the “Hardware Troubleshooting” steps on page 21. •     Entry code has not been scheduled for use at time of day it is tried. Try entry code again during its scheduled time.
Deadbolt does not extend when locking the door with keypad.	•     Lock was not handed properly. Rehand lock through settings menu.

* When batteries are replaced, Smart Module locks have a real time clock that will be set through the User Interface (UI);it is recommended to verify correct date and time particularly those locks operating under Daylight Saving Time (DST).

Hardware Troubleshooting

If deadbolt does not extend or retract easily when testing thumbturn and keypad operation, revisit inside and keypad installation steps. It is important that the bolt be in the retracted position during lock installations and that installation procedure is followed carefully.

Helpful Tip:Ensuring smooth deadbolt operation can enhance your battery life.

If you feel resistance, ensure deadbolt strike plate aligns with deadbolt. If deadbolt strike plate is out of alignment, please attempt to adjustknob/lever/handleset strike using steps below. The knob/lever/handleset latch engagement into the strike is the main component used for door alignment.If deadbolt does not fully extend, consider increasing depth of deadbolt strike pocket in frame.

To adjust Knob/Lever/Handleset strike plate:

1. Remove plate from door frame with a manual screwdriver. (Using an electric driver may strip screw heads or enlarge screw holes.)
2.  Locate strike plate tab. Bend the tab towards surface of strike. Note: a small change may be all that is required
3. Reinstall strike plate using a manual screw driver and test again.
4. If door cannot be adjusted sufficiently with strike tab, both knob/lever/handleset latch and deadbolt latch could require adjustment – we suggest youcontact a local locksmith for assistance.

Resetting Lock to Factory Default

When lock is reset to factory defaults all user codes (including the Master Entry code*) are deleted and all programming features are reset to original default settings(see below).

1. Remove the battery cover and batteries.
2. Remove the interior side of the lock to access the reset button.
3. The reset button (see image at right) is located beside the cable adapter
4. While pressing the reset button (minimum of 3 seconds) reinstall batteries. Release reset button.
5. Replace battery cover.

Upon reset, Master Entry Code creation is the only option available and must be performed prior to any other programming of the lock.

NOTE TO INSTALLER AND CONSUMER® While Yale has included several features to prevent lockout (9-Volt battery jumper, low battery warnings), it is still possible for a lockout situation to occur. Because this product does not ® have a mechanical override (a key), Yale recommends to use this product in an environment where there are additional entry points into the dwelling.
