# How to set up a Shared Use Pivot Pro+ lock

All Pivot Pro+ locks are shipped with factory default settings. To program the Pivot Pro+ locks and prepare them for use, they must be set up to operate with a Programming Card and Management Card(s). A Programming Card and at least one Management Card will be needed to complete this process.

1. With the door open, present the Programming Card to the RFID reader. The lock will initialize, the LED will turn green and beep, then flash red.
