Figure 9 – Removing the MRC88m Keypad from the wall

1.Insert the MRC88m keypad removal tool into the slot at the bottom of the keypad, as shown in Figure 9, being sure that the tool is inserted so that the “insert to here” line slides under the Keypad. This will reduce the risk of damage to the Keypad or the wall.

2.Twist the removal tool in either direction until the bottom of the Keypad pulls away from the wall, then carefully grip the edges of the Keypad with your fingers and pull it off the wall.

NOTE: Since the Keypad snaps into the mounting bracket and there are a large variety of wall textures, the Keypad may POP OUT or require some additional effort to pull it off the wall, depending on your particular installation.
