Function Card #1
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When programming is sent from DL-Windows (or an AL-DTM) to the lock, Function Cards 1, 2, 8, and 9 will be overwritten with
the existing data in DL-Windows for the User Locations 298, 299, 297 and 300, respectively. Therefore, to continue to use
Function Cards 1, 2, 8 and 9 that were enrolled at startup with DL-Windows,
be sure to enroll those same Function Cards 1,
2, 8 and 9 used at startup into the correct locations within DL-Windows.
