Changing the Combination with the Change key
Note: This procedure is used for locks in Single User Mode and Dual User Mode. For
Dual User Mode, each user must change their code independently.
The lock’s combination can be changed by use of the setup module or a separate
change key. Only a safe technician who has successfully completed the factory
approved 2740 training class should connect a setup module to lock.
The change key can be used by a safe custodian or security officer following the
appropriate instructions included in this document.
