Firmware can be updated in the field using the <a href=\"https:\/\/safelocksystems.co.uk\/product\/software-kit-for-la-gard-700-series\/\">Software kit for LA GARD 700 Series<\/a>, available to purchase from our online store.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/safelocksystems.co.uk\/product\/software-kit-for-la-gard-700-series\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/safelocksystems.co.uk\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/700-audit-setup-kit-software.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1215\" width=\"201\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/safelocksystems.co.uk\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/700-audit-setup-kit-software.jpg 800w, https:\/\/safelocksystems.co.uk\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/700-audit-setup-kit-software-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/safelocksystems.co.uk\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/700-audit-setup-kit-software-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/safelocksystems.co.uk\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/700-audit-setup-kit-software-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/safelocksystems.co.uk\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/700-audit-setup-kit-software-676x676.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Safelock Systems Ltd. will undertake free of charge firmware updates to any uninstalled lock sets that are returned and collected at the customer&#8217;s expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">The update is optional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not necessary to update existing locks, it is optional depending on whether end users desire the changes that the update offers, which are outlined below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Forced code changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, when a new code was added to the lock, the code holder was forced to change the code, before it could be used to open the lock. This feature is now optional, and the default setting is that it is switched off. The Master code can turn on forced code changes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Non-display keypads: <strong>#17 <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Display keypads: <strong>Command menu &gt;System &gt; Combination &gt; Force change<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Default Master code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To maintain compliance with increasing security standards, and with the removal of enforced user code changes, the Master code must now be changed during lock setup, and cannot be changed back to 00-12345678. As such, locks supplied by Safelock Systems Ltd. will now be issued with a default Master code of 00-87654321. <strong>The Master code has complete control of the lock system, including the ability to reset the lock, and  should be changed on first use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This change also results in a different setup process where locks have been reset in the field, as such instructions and videos on our Engineer&#8217;s only website will be updated in due course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Time delay and open window signals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, when time delay was active, on entry of a correct code, the lock signalled 3 low beeps + red flashes, which indicated that time delay has started counting. This caused some confusion as the same signal indicates incorrect code. The new firmware now signals 3 high beeps + green flash on entry of a correct code, before time delay begins counting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Display keypads only: <\/strong>There is now a low beep + red flash every 10 seconds when time delay is counting, followed by a high beep + green flash every 10 seconds when the open window is counting.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Add user process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Display keypads only:<\/strong> Now, by default when a user code is added, it automatically has the ability to open and audit locks. As such, unless Time Delay override is required, users can skip straight through to <strong>Add user<\/strong> and press <strong>Enter<\/strong>, without having to specify the privilege to open and audit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Display time-out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The display now stays on for 20 seconds, allowing more time to complete command processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Timelock restrictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the 704-705 models, when timelock is active it is now only possible for the Master to change time and date. Manager codes no longer have this ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Instructions, videos and support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>User Operating Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locks will be issued with updated instructions to reflect the changes in operation. New instructions will also be available to download from our website on the relevant lock page. Instructions for older firmware versions are archived and are available to download:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--c430f2627d9926bd921f4b33c0e055f8\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/safelocksystems.co.uk\/knowledgebase\/la-gard-700-series-firmware\/\">LA GARD 700 Series Firmware &#8211; Notes and archived instructions<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Videos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, training and user operating videos are being added to our YouTube channel.
