# How to check if a keypad lock is set to factory default

All Digilock keypad locks are shipped with factory default settings and will need to be setup before the locks can function properly.*

Keypad locks that are set to factory default can be activated by pressing “C Button+Key Button.” The LED will flash red to indicate Shared Use or green to indicate Assigned Use.

Pressing the Key Button on the keypad will make **the LED flash red**.

Shared Use is perfect for environments where multiple users need temporary access. A code, or key allows anyone to use the unit, and once unlocked is available for the next user. Locks configured in Shared Use may feature either a deadbolt or cam locking mechanism.

Pressing the Key Button on the keypad will make the LED flash green.

Assigned Use is ideal for personal or dedicated access, where a specific individual or group is given a unique code or key to open a designated unit. The unit remains locked until the assigned user unlocks it using their credential. Assigned Use locks can be configured with a deadbolt, deadlatch, or cam.
