Set the new code using needle-nose pliers to position the code key pins as follows: for each letter (C, X, Y or Z) and/or number (0 through 9) of the code, insert a code key pin into the corresponding slot, keeping the red-colored end upward and the large square notch in the code key pin toward the outside of the keypad.
