Programming a Temporary Garage Code PIN
There are two options for setting the temporary PIN.
- Amount of hours the temporary PIN is available for (e.g. temporary PIN works for 36 hours, then expires)
- Number of uses the temporary PIN works for (e.g. temporary PIN works 36 times, then expires)
The temporary PIN number will not open the door once it expires, however, it can still be used to close the door.
