MODE 3.1 HARD BUTTON
CONFIGURATION
As received from the factory, MODE 3.1 Keypads have a pre-
installed set of buttons that match the default button confi gu-
ration in EZ-Tools. This default may not match the system be-
ing installed. MODE 3.1 comes with a set of alternate buttons.
The hard button keycaps can be changed on the keypads and
in EZ-Tools to match the product being installed. To change
the hard button keycaps:
1. With the keypad disconnected from the system, carefully
insert a small fl at head screwdriver into the Faceplate
Release Tabs Slots (1) as shown in
Figure 7
.
With the screwdriver inserted, slowly twist the screwdriver
and pull down in the direction shown (2) until the Face-
plate Tabs release from the body.
2. With both tabs released, carefully pull the
bottom
of
the faceplate up and away from the keypad as shown in
Figure 8
until it stops moving freely. Carefully pull the top
of the faceplate clear of the keypad to remove. Do not
touch, pinch, poke or otherwise contact the fl ex board
circuit connected to the top of the LCD. Damage to the
fl ex board will disable the LCD.
3. With the faceplate fully removed, the hard button keycaps
cans be changed. Carefully pinch the top of the keycap
and slowly pull it straight up and off the rubber mem-
brane as shown in
Figure 9
. Try not to pull the mem-
brane off the green circuit board. If the membrane does
come loose, be sure to replace it to its normal position,
seated fl at on the green circuit board. If the membrane
is not properly seated, the keycaps will not fi t properly
through the openings in the faceplate and the keypad
will not function.
4. Using the included alternate set of keycaps, make chang-
es as needed.
5. With all keycaps in place, replace the faceplate in reverse
process to step 2. Carefully align the top of the faceplate
with the keypad body as they appear in
Figure 8
. Slowly
press the bottom of the faceplate until the keycaps begin
to push through their openings. Visually inspect the
keycaps to confi rm that they are properly centered in the
faceplate openings. With the keycaps in place, press the
bottom corners of the faceplate until it snaps into place.
6. Press all buttons to confi rm free play.
