INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING COMBINATION ON CARRYING CASE

The combination is 

factory set at 

,0-0-0,,

Setting your personal combination:

1. Open the case.  Looking at the back of the lock inside the case you will
      see a change lever. Move this change lever to the middle of the lock so
      that it hooks behind the change notch (picture 1 ).

2. Now set your personal combination by turning the dials to the desired

combination (i.e. birthday, phone no. etc.)

3.  Move the change lever back to the normal position (picture 2).

4

.  

To lock, rotate one or more dials. To open the lock, set your personal

        combination.

International patents pending.
