Enabling outside manual release handle
operation using the mechanical key
Operation of a manual release handle can
be enabled by unlocking a door with the
mechanical key.
1
Insert a plastic card, etc. into the gap in
the door handle to pry up the cover.
To avoid damage, do not apply excessive
force to the cover.
2
Remove the cover by pressing it on the
rear.
3
Using the mechanical key, turn the lock
cylinder to the unlock side to enable the
manual release handle operation.
The mechanical key can only be inserted in
one direction, as the key only has a groove
on one side.
If the key cannot be inserted in a lock cylin-
der, turn it over and re-attempt to insert it.
