If your keypad is running low on battery, you will need to remove the front panel to replace them.

Follow these steps carefully to avoid damaging the unit.

Step 1 – Remove the Fixing Screw

Locate the small screw on the keypad.

Unscrew it fully and keep it safe

This screw holds the keypad cover in place

Step 2 – Release the Keypad Cover

Once the screw is removed:

Find the release tab on the right-hand side

Push the tab to the left

At the same time, use a flat tool (or your fingers if possible) to gently lever the slot open

Note

Important:

You must do both actions at the same time

If you only pull without pushing the tab, the cover will not come off

Do not use excessive force
