INTRODUCTION
The X-08 uses sophisticated computer security and makes dialing much easier than that of
traditional combination locks. The microprocessor in the lock recognizes a number as part of a
combination when you stop dialing on that number and wait for the number to be registered.
This enters the number into the computer’s memory.
Your X-08 lock has been shipped preset in the Single Combination Mode with the factory
combination of 50-25-50.
LOCK ON BACK COVER
The Lock On Back Cover (LOBC) feature provides a locking mechanism that locks the back
cover in place after installation. The design is such that the back cover cannot be removed
without visible damage unless the combination is known, regardless of whether the lock is
locked or unlocked.
Note: Because of the LOBC feature, you cannot remove the cover to read
the lock serial number after the lock is installed. Since you may need the
serial number of the lock to reset it if the combination is lost or forgotten,
it is important that you keep a record of the lock serial number in a secure
place.
To Remove the Lock on Back Cover:
1. Unlock the lock and retract the bolt in order to gain access to the back cover.
2. Release the container locking bolts.
3. Locate the unlocking button on the back cover.
4. Turn the dial to the left to extend the bolt.
5. Dial the combination(s) to open the lock, OP will appear.
6. Before turning the dial to the right to retract the bolt, pull out on the unlocking button.
7. While holding the button out, turn the dial slowly to retract the bolt to the unlocked
position.
8. Remove the back cover screws.
9. Remove the back cover assembly.

DIALING THE X-08
DIALING METHODS
The user should dial with complete full wrist turns. Stopping to regrip produces pauses in
dialing activity. This helps the X-08 distinguish between human and robotic dialers.
The X-08 may mistake a human for a robot if the user dials more than 1.3 revolutions in the
Clock Wise (CW) direction with no pauses in dialing activity.
Important: The X-08 has protective software that detects robotic dialing.
If robotic dialing is detected, the X-08 will not open even if the correct
combination has been dialed.
TO POWER THE LOCK
You will always dial to the left (Counter Clock Wise) to “power” the lock. It usually requires 4-6
turns of the dial to generate sufficient power for lock operations. The lock is considered to be
“powered” as soon as something appears on the display.
When you dial left to power the lock, it will first display any error conditions that exist on the lock
(SA). Also, if the number of consecutive unsuccessful attempts is three or more, this count will
be displayed once you stop dialing. The count will disappear when you dial right to resume
operations.
Caution: If you continue to dial left once the lock is powered, the successful
openings count will appear. You should not dial this far unless you are
specifically instructed to do so during an operational procedure. The
necessary operating procedure may vary from the normal operating instructions
if you dial this far, depending on the current condition of the lock.
Note: If a left arrow and dL (dial Left) appear at any time
during dialing, you need more power to complete your
operation. Dial left to generate power until the lock
displays a right arrow and the previously displayed
numbers or symbols(s).
DIALING A COMBINATION
When dialing a combination, you will be prompted with E1, E2 and
E3 for the first, second, and third numbers of the combination,
respectively. Once the prompt for a number appears, dial to the
right to select the appropriate number
dL
E I

3
Note: When dialing to the right after the E1, E2, or E3 prompts, the first
numbers to appear on the LCD will alternately be 00 or 50. Do not stop on
these numbers the first time they appear if they are part of your three
number combination. Continue to dial to the right until the number
appears for the second time
If at any time the dial remains stationary for more than 10 seconds, the computer will reset (LCD
will go blank) requiring the operator to redial the entire combination
Caution: An X-08 lock will register a Surreptitious Entry Attempt (SA)
error condition when fifteen unsuccessful attempts to open the lock are
made. The condition must be reset before the lock will operate normally.
See the section on “Surreptitious Attempt”.
If You Pass Your Target Number When Dialing:
Example A: Target Number = 25.
If you pass your target number by 10 or more, to 35 or greater, continue dialing until
you reach the target number again.
Example B: Target Number = 25.
If you pass the target number by no more than 9 numbers, to 34 or less, you may dial to
the left and the display will “jump back” about 10 numbers. Now you may dial slowly to
the right to the target number.
If You Dial the Wrong Number:
Example A: When dialing, you pause on the wrong number for E1 or E2. E2 or E3
then appears on the display. Dialing left returns the display to E1 or E2 to allow redialing
of that number in the combination sequence.
Example B: When dialing, you pause on the wrong number for E3. A lightning bolt is
displayed to indicate an incorrect combination. Dial left before the lightning bolt
disappears to return the display to E3 and allow the third number in the combination to
be redialed.
Redial Entire Combination If:
A.The screen goes blank before the lock bolt is retracted.
B.After backing up and redialing a correct number, a lightning bolt is displayed.

OPENING THE X-08 (FACTORY COMBINATION)
If you have not read the section on “Dialing the X-08”, it is important that you do so
before proceeding.
CW=ClockWise; CCW=CounterClockWise
1.Dial left (CCW) until lock is “powered”. Stop. E1 will be displayed.
2.Dial right (CW) until the first number of the factory combination, 50, appears on the
LCD.
Note: When dialing to the right after the E1, E2, or E3 prompts, the first numbers to
appear on the LCD will alternately be 00 or 50. DO NOT stop on these numbers
the first time they appear if they are part of your three number combination.
Continue to dial to the right until the number appears for the second time.
Stop on 50 and wait until E2 appears, approximately two seconds.
3.After E2 with a right arrow appears, continue to dial right until you reach the second
number of the factory combination, 25. Stop on 25 and wait until E3 appears,
approximately two seconds.
4.After E3 with a right arrow appears, continue to dial right until you reach the third
number in the factory combination, 50.
Note: When dialing to the right after the E1, E2, or E3 prompts, the first numbers to appear on the LCD
will alternately be 00 or 50. DO NOT stop on these numbers the first time they appear if they are
part of your three number combination. Continue to dial to the right until the number appears for
the second time.
Stop and wait until OP appears, approximately two seconds.
5.After OP with a right arrow (OPen right) is displayed, dial to the right to retract the lock
bolt.
Practice opening the lock several times with the preset factory combination before you
set a new combination. When you feel comfortable opening the X-08 using the preset factory
combination, you are ready to put the lock into operation.

X-08 LOCK SETUP
Setting up the X-08 lock for operation inovlves both the operating mode and the combination(s)
Before you can set a new combination, you must select and set a mode of operation. The X-08
has three modes of operation:
Single Combination Mode: The X-08 will open when one three-number combination is
successfully dialed.
Dual Combination Mode: Two separate combinations are required to open the X-08.
Either combination may be dialed first; however, the operator must begin entering the
second combination within 10 seconds of completing the first combination.
Supervisory/Subordinate Mode or Super/Sub Mode: Two separate combinations are
required to open the lock, with the Supervisory Combination controlling access of the
Subordinate Combination. The Supervisory Combination must be entered first to UnLock
(UL) the lock. Once the Supervisory Combination has been entered, the Subordinate
Combination can be used to open the lock at any time during this “unlocked” state. The
Supervisory Combination can be entered again to disable lock access – Lock Up (LU). In
this state the Subordinate Combination will no longer open the lock.
SET OPERATING MODE AND CHANGE COMBINATIONS
Use the Change Key (photo 1) provided with your X-08 to set the
desired operating mode and combinations. If at any time during the
process you see the Key and Lightning Bolt symbols displayed, stop
sequence and return to Step 3. If at any time you see a Lightning Bolt
symbol displayed, stop, remove change key and return to Step 2.
If you have not read the section on “Dialing the X-08” and
“Opening the X-08 (Factory Combination)”, it is important that you
do so before proceeding.
1. Open the lock using the current combination(s), and remove the dust cover to gain access
to the change key holes on the back of the lock.
Note: Use the preset factory combination of 50-25-50 to open the lock
the first time.
2. Insert the Change Key into the change key holes on the back of the lock.

IF YOU LOCK THE CHANGE KEY IN THE SAFE
If the door of your container is shut and the X-08 accidentally locked with the Change Key still
inserted in the back of the lock, you can recover with the following procedure.
1. Dial left (CCW) until lock is “powered”.
2. Dial right to dial the current combination. SL will be displayed.
3. Dial right to select ANY valid mode – 1, 2 or 3. (Do Not select 0) dL will appear.
4Dial left continuously without pausing until E1 or C1 is displayed without the
Change Key appearing in the upper right hand corner.
Note: Multiple symbols will be displayed during this dialing process and the LCD will go totally blank at
one point. Finally, E1 and C1 will appear with the Change Key still showing in the upper right
hand corner. It is imperative that you continue to dial until the Change Key disappears, leaving
either E1 or C1 on the display, depending on the previous operating mode.
5. Dial right to dial the existing combination. OP will appear.
6. Dial right to retract the bolt. You may now restart the procedure to Set the Operating
