Battery
The mounting screw for the lock housing must be installed before installing the
MicroIQ battery. Prior to installation and insertion of the battery, the knob of
the lock mechanism will be free moving.
After installing the lock to the mounting surface, the battery and holder can be
inserted into the lock. The cover for the battery holder also serves to lock the
holder into the lock housing. The battery cover must be in the fully open
position before inserting the holder. The battery holder screw cannot be
protruding from the bottom of the battery holder. It must be flush with the
holder so the holder can be inserted.

Check that the battery is properly inserted into the holder. The “+” surface of
the battery should be Inserted into the holder against the surface of the holder
marked with the “+” symbol. Insert the battery holder into the lock with the
holder cover in the fully open position and with the battery holder screw flush
to the bottom of the holder until the holder is fully seated. Next, use the hex
tool to fasten the battery holder screw into the lock body. Last, swing the
battery holder cover to the closed position, push in and fully seat the cover into
the battery holder until it is flush to the lock body.
If the battery is inserted while the knob is locked, you should hear the lock
mechanism click and the unit will lock. If the battery is inserted while the knob is
unlocked, after turning the knob to the locked position you should hear the lock
mechanism click and the unit will lock. If the unit will not lock after inserting the
battery, enter the factory code, move the knob to the unlocked position, and move
the knob to the locked position and you should hear the lock mechanism click and
the unit will lock. If the unit still does not lock, replace the battery.
