Note:
The Factory Default Master User Code is 1 3 5 7 9. You or your installer should change this
immediately to a personal 3 to 8 digit code. Try using a 7 digit phone number for your new Master User
Code.
Note:
The keypad on the KE-1603 has 5 keys. Each key represents two digits. The first key can be used as
either or both the numeral 1 and the numeral 2 when you are entering a code. Example: The Factory default
Master User Code can be described as 1 3 5 7 9 or as 2 4 6 8 0. To the system they are the same 5 digit
code. If you want a 1 or a 2 in your Master User Code or in an Optional User Code use the first key to
represent both numbers.
How to change the Master User Code
A.
Locate and press the System Programming Switch
4 Rapid Beeps
will sound and you will have 2 minutes to start programming the system.
B.
Enter 1 1 1 9 on the keypad
3 Rapid Beeps
will sound
C
. Within 5 seconds of the 3 Rapid Beeps enter your new 3 to 8 digit Master User Code. Now wait 5
seconds and listen for 3 Rapid Beeps
. Your done! Try the new Master User Code and the door will
unlock. If it doesn't, please read the following paragraph to see if you made an error or skipped a step while
programming.
Note
: When using or programming your system you must make each keystroke within 5 seconds of the
previous keystroke or the system will timeout and reset to normal operation. 2 Rapid Beeps signal system
reset. If the system resets before you have completed changing the Master User Code, you must start over
by pressing the System Programming Switch. 1 Long Beep signals an error has been made during the
programming sequence. Don't worry. Start over by pressing the System Programming Switch.

Code Padding
If you feel you are being observed when you enter your code on the keypad you can "pad" your code by
entering several random digits before you enter your actual code and still have the door unlock. For
instance, if your code is 1 3 9 1 you can enter 5 7 1 3 9 1 and the door will unlock. Each time you press a
key successfully the keypad beeps and blinks. If you accidentally make an error during code entry, simply
start over with the correct code.
What Keypad code combinations are restricted
Codes 559, 557, and 555 are pre-assigned as Lock Codes. There is no harm if everybody knows the Lock
Code. However, you can't change a Lock Code so you can't use 559, 557, or 555 as the Master User Code
or as an Optional User Code.
Furthermore, you may not program a new Master User Code or Optional User Code that starts with the
digits 5 or 6 (Key 5/6). If you want a 5 or 6 at the beginning of your code start with 05 or 06. Example: 05 05
68 (a birth date).
Caution:
Never use the same sequence of digits of your Master User Code as the first part of an Optional
User Code. If you do, you will have to press the System Programming Switch and select a new Master User
Code.
What Keypad code combinations are not recommended
- Using your ATM PIN number or computer passcodes
- Short codes using the same digit - example: 111
- Simple codes - example: 123 or 911
- The numbers on your car’s license plate
How to add Optional Keypad User Codes and what they are for
You can add up to 5 Optional User Codes in your Keyless Entry Keypad System if you wish. What are they
for? You might want to have an Optional User Code to give to a family member or a friend if you need to
lend them your vehicle temporarily. You can change it or delete it later. You might want another Optional
User Code to give to a valet parking attendant or to a smog checker or service mechanic at the dealership.
There might be other reasons you need to give someone else access to your vehicle when you are away.
Remember, don't give out your Personal Master User Code.
