GETTING STARTED
Follow these steps when setting up a new lock.
1. Install the lock. See the installation guide that came with the lock, or visit
www.schlage.com/support, for more information.
2. Make sure the batteries are installed properly. See Batteries on page 7 for more information.
3. Configure the Master Construction Credential (where applicable). See Construction Access Mode
on page 5 for more information. The lock should remain in Construction Access Mode until you are
ready to set up the rest of the system.
4. Test the lock for proper mechanical and electronic operation. See Testing on page 6 for more
information.
5. Consult the Schlage Utility Software (SUS) User Guide for information about configuring the lock.
6. Familiarize yourself with the information contained in this user guide.
! Save this user guide for future reference.
HANDHELD DEVICE (HHD)
! The Handheld Device is used for programming and setup only.
The Handheld Device (HHD) is used to configure locks. The HHD configures lock functions that
cannot be configured with manual programming, and is used to transfer data files between the
access control software and locks.
For more information about the HHD, see the Schlage Utility Software (SUS) User Guide.

CONSTRUCTION ACCESS MODE
Construction Access Mode is used to allow access before the lock has
been programmed, and for testing purposes.
• Enabled by default.
• The lock will remain in Construction Access Mode until the mode is
cancelled as described below.
• No audits are captured while the lock is in Construction Access
Mode.
Create the Master Construction Credential - Locks with
Card Readers
1. Press and hold the Schlage button while presenting a credential.
2. This credential becomes the Master Construction Credential.
After you have created the Master Construction Credential, you can
then use that card to add construction access mode user credentials.
The Master Construction Credential will not grant access.
It is used only to add additional access credentials.
Add User Credentials - Locks with Card Readers
1. Present the Master Construction Credential to the lock.
The Schlage button will light green.
2. Present the user credential to be added within twenty (20) seconds. The user credential will be
added to the lock database.
3. To test enrolled user credential, present the credential. The Schlage button will blink and the lock
will unlock.
Credentials added using the Master Construction Credential will have normal 24/7 access.
Cancel Construction Access Mode
Do one of the following:
• Reset the lock to factory settings. See Resetting to Factory Defaults on page 6 for more
information.
• Authenticate or program the lock with the HHD. See the Schlage Utility Software User Guide for
more information.
• Create a master programming credential.
! When construction mode is cancelled, the Master Construction Credential and all other
credentials added using the Master Construction Credential will no longer function.
Locks with Keypads
In the factory default reset state, offline locks with keypads, with or without additional credentials, have
a default PIN of 13579and “#”, which can be used for installation, testing and construction access.
To test, enter 13579and “#”. The Schlage button will blink and the lock will unlock. The default PIN is
automatically deleted when a new programming credential is created, or the lock is programmed with
the Schlage Utility Software (SUS).
TIPS
Use the same Master
Construction Credential for
all the locks in the facility.
If you present the first card
to a new lock to create
the Master Construction
Credential and the card is
not accepted, the lock has
either been programmed
or already has a Master
Construction Credential.
If the Master Construction
Credential cannot be
located, or to put the lock
back into construction
access mode, reset the
lock to factory settings.
See Resetting to Factory
Defaults on page 6 for
more information.

USING THE LOCK
After the lock has been programmed, present credentials to operate the lock as follows:
Credential Type Action
Credential Present credential to reader Green blink and access granted
+ PIN Credential Present credential
to reader Press PIN 1Within 5 seconds,
Press #2
Green blink and
access granted
1 If the PIN is entered incorrectly, press “*” to start over.
2 The “#” key is used as ENTER key for PINs with fewer than the minimum number of digits. Default minimum digits
is six (6). This can be configured with the HHD, so users do not have to push the “#” key.
TESTING
If you encounter problems while performing any of the following tests, review the installation guide
and correct any problems.
Mechanical Testing
1. Rotate the inside lever or depress the push bar to open the door. Operation should be smooth,
and the latch should retract.
2. Insert the key into the keyway and rotate the key and the outside lever to open the door.
Operation should be smooth, and the latch should retract.
Electronic Testing
1. For locks with a keypad, press any number key. The lock will beep. Use the default PIN (13579
and “#”) to verify access in construction mode.
2. Present a user credential to the reader. The lock will beep, the Schlage button will light green and
the lock will unlock. (If this is the first credential presented to a new lock, it becomes the master
construction programming credential. See Construction Access Mode on page 5.)
During normal use after adding user credentials, the lock will beep and the Schlage button will light
green when a valid credential is presented. The Schlage button will blink red twice when the credential
is not valid for the lock.
RESETTING TO FACTORY DEFAULTS
! All information in the lock will be deleted and reset to factory defaults!
The door must be locked (not toggled open or in the middle of normal access) before resetting to
factory defaults.
1. Press and hold the Schlage button. Wait for the lock to beep twice and two green blinks of the
Schlage button, indicating confirmation.
2. After confirmation signals, release the Schlage button.
3. Rotate the mechanical key within 10 seconds and hold. Continue holding the key until
confirmation signals are observed.
4. The Schlage button will light green for one second and a one-second beep will sound to confirm
reset to factory defaults.
If the mechanical key is not rotated within 10 seconds, two beeps and two red blinks indicate
timeout.
