Even when writing is permitted by the security function
(mask key), Power-on can be set for a 30 minute period
each time the reset key is pressed while holding down the
[Q] key and [4/8] keys. After 30 minutes elapses, can only
be restored by using reset.
2. How to register the security code for EEPROM
(F/E) replacement (coded security models)
1) Enter the test mode. (See 1. How to enter the test mode)
2) Press the [4/8] key to enter the MENU MODE.
3) While “Security” is displayed, press and hold the [Track up
or down] key f or a second to enter the secu-rity registration
mode.
4) Enter the code using the [FM/AM/Track up/T rac k down] ke ys.

4. Method of writing the Mask key while the EEPROM is
in the initial status
1) Enter the test mode. (See 1. How to enter the test mode)
2) Press the [4/8] k ey to enter the Mask k ey registr ation mode.
“TRANSMIT1” should be display ed now. The display at this
time should show “< >” in place of “[ ]”.

5) When “APPRO VED” is display ed, the write operation is complete. Now the demonstration mode is initiated and the test
mode is terminated.
Note : In the same way as previous models, if 30 minutes
have elapsed with no code written, an error occurs and the
power is turned OFF.
5. Method of initializing the Mask key
(How to reset the unit from the Mask key appro ved condition to the factory condition)
1) Enter the test mode. (See 1. How to enter the test mode)
2) “TRANSMIT1” is displayed and the Mask key entry request
mode is initiated. The display at this time should show “✽✽”
in place of “[ ]”.
3) Press and hold the key on the Master key remote for more
than 3 seconds.
4) When “TRANSMIT2” is displayed, press and hold the key

the demonstration mode is initiated, the test mode is terminated and the unit returns to the factory condition.
6. Method of clearing all Mask key-related data
1) Enter the test mode. (See 1. How to enter the test mode)
2) Press the [4/8] k ey to enter the Mask k ey registr ation mode.
“TRANSMIT1” should be displayed now.
3) Point the Master key remote toward the light sensor, and
press and hold its key for more than 3 seconds (until the
level display shows the full condition).
4) When “TRANSMIT2” is displa y ed, hold the ke y on the Mask
key remote for more than 3 seconds again. If “TRANSMIT1”
is displayed in place of “TRANSMIT2”, restar t the procedure from step 3).
5) When “APPRO VED” is displa yed, all security data is cleared
and the unit returns to the condition before Mask key writing with the EEPROM in the initial status.
