This link will provide you with a video instruction should you require additional help.

Mechanical Key Override

Each lock comes supplied with 2 keys. These keys will not work with any other lock, so you must keep them in a safe place.
As the lock is designed for PIN/RFID/App access, it is not recommended to use the keys on a daily basis.
To use the mechanical key:
  1. Open the plastic cover on the front facing part of the door handle
  2. Insert and rotate the key 90 degrees
  3. Warning

    The key will resist, as it is pushing against the handle on the other side of the door
    Assist it by pulling down the handle at the same time.

    Firmware Upgrade (NEO Lock)

    Should you need to upgrade the firmware of the lock, KAS will provide you with RFID cards that will be used for the process.
    1. The cards will be numbered. 
    2. Before the upgrade, ensure that the lock is reset (Using a System Card with a Clear function, or by dialing ** 888 888 # 199 # into the lock.
    3. Present the card labelled 1 to the lock, and wait for a second beep. 
    4. Present the rest of the cards in sequence, until a beep is heard between each one.
    5. Notes

      Should you receive a double-beep at any point, it means you are trying the wrong sequence card. Present the cards one by one again until it is successful.

Warning

DO NOT turn off the power to the lock during the firmware upgrade until it is done.
