dIalIng The X-10
DIALING METHODS
The user should dial with full wrist turns This helps the X-10 distinguish between human
and robotic dialers
Note: If an incorrect combination is dialed or if the elapsed combination dialing time is
less than 10 seconds, a lightning bolt will appear when you dial right to retract the bolt.
Note: The viewing angle of the LCD is restricted from either side as a security feature
of the lock. This feature restricts viewing of combination dialing by the casual observer.
TO POWER THE LOCK
You should dial to the left (Counter-clockwise) to “power” the lock unless otherwise
instructed for a specific operation. It usually requires 5-10 turns of the dial to generate
sufficient power for lock operations. The lock is considered to be “powered” as soon as
a number, letter or symbol appears on the display
When you continue to dial left and if the number of consecutive unsuccessful attempts is
three or more, the unsuccessful attempts count will be displayed along with a lightning bolt
You must slow down or stop dialing to pause and view the count The count will disappear
when you dial left to resume operations or when the lock powers down
DIALING A COMBINATION
The X-10 recognizes a number as being part of a combination when you stop on that number
and then reverse dialing directions When dialing a combination, you will dial left for the 1st
two digits of the combination, dial right for the second two digits, and then dial left again for
the last two digits When dialing to the left, the numbers will increase as you dial When dialing
to the right, the numbers will decrease
Note: If at any time the dial remains stationary for more than 40 seconds, the lock will
power down (LCD will go blank), requiring the operator to redial the entire combination.
Once the combination has been dialed correctly, you must dial briskly to the right to get an
OP (OPen right) display and to retract the bolt
