• Remember to keep track of your new code for future reference.

Adding a New User Code (UC) 

You can add up to 50 new user codes, each linked to a User ID (ID) between 01-50. To add a new user code, follow these steps:

• Enter (PC) + (Unlock Button) + 1 + (Unlock Button) + (User ID) + (Unlock Button) + (User Code) + (Unlock Button) + Re-enter User Code + (Unlock Button).
