Change the combination length on a Display Keypad in LA GARD 700 Series

Question

How to change the combination length on a Display Keypad in LA GARD 700 Series?

Answer

The Combination Length can be changed to a length between 6 and 9 digits inclusively. This feature can only be modified by a Master user. This feature only applies to non-Master users. A Master combination is always 8 digits. By default, the combination length for non-Master users is 6 characters. 

Note: 700 Basic is 6 digits only, and 8 digits for Master Reset. 

WARNING: If the combination length is changed after any users have been entered into the system, those users will need to reset their combination before they can perform any operations. After a user’s combination is reset, the user will then need to change their combination again in order to use the system. Since the Master User is the only one whose combination is unaffected by change in Combination length, the Master must reset other users’ combinations. Once a Manager’s Combination is reset and then changed again, the Manager can reset other users’ combinations.

1. Enter an Authorized User ID and Combination.
