To perform an automatic eSYNC, follow these steps:
Place your DisplayKEY on the DisplayKEY Cradle the night before your key expires. Between the hours of midnight and 6AM, the DisplayKEY dials KIMnet and completes an eSYNC one time each week. The update process takes only several minutes. Note: Every time you turn on your DisplayKEY, a message is displayed showing when your next automatic eSYNC is scheduled.
Remove the Display KEY from the Cradle when you are ready to leave for work the next day. It is updated, charged, and ready to use. If you forget to eSYNC automatically, you can manually update your key three ways:
IMPORTANT! If you obtain an update code from either KIMweb or KIMvoice, you must eSYNC before you can obtain an update code a second time from KIMweb or KIMvoice.
Troubleshooting – DisplayKEY’s (dKEY’s)
Some common problems may occur. The following tips may help
you resolve a problem before you have to contact Field Support
or Metrotex for assistance.
Cannot return to DisplayKEY menu options
If you get into a menu option that you can’t exit by pressing
the arrow keys, or want to get back to the main menu, press
ENTER and 1 together to reset the Key.
KeyBox container will not open
If the KeyBox does not release the key container, you may
have tried to access the KeyBox before or after time access
hours. Contact the KeyBox owner for access hours or call
Metrotex at (214) 637-6660.
Key container will not close
Check to see if the listing keys are blocking movement of
the key container. If nothing seems to be preventing the
container from closing, do not force it. Bring the KeyBox
to Metrotex for assistance.
Code: forgotten or lost
Keep a master record of your codes in a secure location.
If you forget a KeyBox shackle code, select one of the following
options to find it:
Bad Code Time-Out
When you enter ten incorrect codes within a 10-minute period,
a buzz tone sounds and your DisplayKEY times out for 10 minutes.
At the end of this time period, the Key self-activates and
is again ready for use. To avoid a bad code time-out, verify
that you are entering a correct PIN or Shackle Code before
repeating the procedure.
Reset DisplayKEY Cradle
A tiny opening located next to the telephone ports on the
cradle houses the reset switch. If you place your Key on
the Cradle and no lights illuminate in the Cradle’s LED,
this indicates that the Cradle has become locked and will
not function. The Cradle must be reset to perform the battery
recharge or to complete an eSYNC. Select one of the following
methods to reset the DisplayKEY Cradle.
Not Authorized
Obtain key or release shackle functions fail because:
Key is in Lockout
The Key is in the 10-minute lockout state. Wait 10 minutes
for the Key to reactivate.
