Using Your Lock instructions will help you customize your lock.
The Master Entry Code is used to change the lock settings.
A security best practice is to set your Master Entry Code with 6 or more digits and create a separate code that is used daily to lock and unlock the door.
Master Entry Code must be created first.
*Max Entry codes = 250 with Smart Module; 25 without.
Deleting one Entry Code: To delete one Entry Code, you must enter the Entry Code you wish to delete.
To delete all Entry Codes (Does not delete Master Entry Code):
Settings | Default Setting | Definition |
Master Entry Code | Creation required* | The Master Entry Code is used for programming and feature settings. It must be created prior to programming the lock. The Master Entry Code will also operate (unlock/lock) the lock- |
All Code Lockout | Disabled | This feature is enabled by the Master Entry Code. When enabled, it restricts all Entry Code access (except Master). When attempting to enter a code while the lock is in Alt Code Lockout, the RED locked padlock will appear on the screen. |
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. When enabled, 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 Advanced Lock Settings (Main Menu selection #3). |
Language | English | Choosing English (1), Spanish (2) or French (3) becomes the (default) setting for the lock voice prompts. |
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 Entry Code will re-lock the lock. |
Privacy Button | Disabled | Privacy mode is disabled by default. When enabled, activate Privacy mode by pressing the privacy button for 4 seconds to put the lock in do-not-disturb mode (all Entry Codes are disabled). |
Shutdown Time | 60 Seconds | The lock will shutdown (flashing RED) for sixty (60) seconds and not allow operation after the wrong code entry limit (5 attempts) has been met. |
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. |

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 adjust knob/ 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 you contact a local locksmith for assistance.
When lock is reset to factory defaults all Entry Codes (including the Master Entry Code*) are deleted and all programming features are reset to original default settings (see below).
1. Remove battery cover and batteries.
2. Remove inside lock to access reset button.
3. Reset button (see image at right) is located beside cable adapter.
4. While pressing reset button reinstall batteries. Hold reset button a minimum of 3 seconds then release.
5. Replace battery cover.
After 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.
