EMBASSY® HOME™ EL1
X
Manual Lock Mode
You have the option to disable the Auto
Lock feature (page 24) Doing so will put your
EMBASSY
®
door lock in Manual Lock Mode.
How It Works: Manual Lock Mode is the default mode.
Press any button for 2 seconds to lock it from the outside,
or use the thumb turn to lock it from the inside.

Wrong Entry Limit
Your EMBASSY
®
door lock prevents intruders
from using what security experts call a “brute
force attack.” In this scenario, an intruder tries to
crack a code by entering many different code
combinations until they correctly guess the
valid code. Your EMBASSY
®
door lock deters
brute force attacks with a Wrong Entry Limit.
How It Works: If invalid codes are entered 10 times in a row,
your EMBASSY
®
door lock will automatically disable the
keypad for 3 minutes, deterring would-be intruders from
cracking your code with unlimited consecutive attempts.

Vacation Mode
Having up to 20 User Codes is very convenient
for everyday use, especially with a busy family.
However, when your family is away on vacation
or an extended stay, too many usable codes
presents a potential security risk to your
home. While set to Vacation Mode, all User
Codes are temporarily disabled (page 24).
How It Works: Before leaving your home for an extended time,
activate Vacation Mode on your EMBASSY
®
door lock. In Vacation
Mode, only the Master Code will work on the keypad; all User
Codes will be temporarily disabled. Enter the Master Code
to unlock the door and re-enable the other codes. If the lock
is unlocked with the physical key (from outside) or the thumb
turn (from inside) instead of with the Master Code, the lock will
sound an alarm. Use the Master Code to turn off the alarm.
NOTE: Batteries last about one year. If the low-battery indicator
begins beeping, be sure to change the batteries before leaving
on a trip (or bring your physical key with you instead).
