To take out the mechanical key:
Electronic keys: Slide the release
lever and take the key out.
Card key: Press the lock release
button and take the key out.

der, turn it over and re-attempt to
insert it.
After using the mechanical key, store
it in the electronic key. Carry the
mechanical key together with the
electronic key. If the electronic key
battery is depleted or the entry func-
tion does not operate properly, you
