How do I use the Saffire LX battery back-up device to unlock a lock with a dead battery?

Required User Level: Master, Manager

Step 1: At the bottom of the lock front housing there is an outlet for the 2-prong device.
Step 2: Inset the prongs from the back-up device in the outlet.
Step 3: Hold down the red button on the back-up device. The front left green light will appear. You must continue to apply pressure to the red button or power will be cut.

IMPORTANT If the front right light is illuminated yellow, you must change the batteries of the device (4x AAA) as there may not be enough power to open the lock. If there is no light, this means that the batteries on the back up device are drained. Please change them.
Step 4: After a few seconds you should notice the lock’s power-up sequence: the motor will turn to the locked position and the green LED on the lock will flash 3 times.
Step 5: While keeping the back-up device connected to the lock, present a keycard to the lock to unlock the door.
Step: 6 Green light on front lock housing will light up when successfully unlocked. Remove the back-up device from the lock. Open the door and change lock batteries. Follow these steps for each Saffire LX lock with battery failure.

CAUTION The lock may remain in the unlocked state until the batteries are changed or until the back up device is re-applied, in the following situations: • If the back up device is removed while unlocked • If you stop applying pressure on the red button of the back-up device while the green light on the lock is still flashing
