Setup: Setting Your Combination

Your lock is factory preset to 0-0-0. Follow these steps to set your personal combination:

1. Ensure the lock is set to the current combination (initially 0-0-0) and pull up the shackle to open the lock.
2. With the shackle open, rotate it 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
3. Press the shackle down firmly into the lock body. While holding it down, rotate it another 90 degrees counter-clockwise (total 180 degrees from the original open position).
4. Set your desired 3-digit combination by turning the dials to align with the convex line.
5. Once your new combination is set, turn the shackle back to its normal upright position and release it. The new combination is now set.

Important: Please write down your new combination and keep it in a safe place. There is no master key or reset button if the combination is forgotten.

Operating Instructions

Opening the Lock

1. Align the dials to your set 3-digit combination.
2. Pull the shackle upwards to release it from the lock body.

Closing the Lock

1. Insert the shackle back into the lock body.
2. Scramble the dials to a random combination to secure the lock.

TSA Inspection Feature

The lock features a red pop-up indicator. If this indicator is raised when you retrieve your luggage, it signifies that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has opened and inspected your bag. The TSA uses a special key to open these locks without damaging them, and they are designed to relock after inspection.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Fosmon TSA lock, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the lock clean and free from dirt or debris. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid exposing the lock to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals.
• Periodically check the dials for smooth rotation. If they become stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied.

Troubleshooting

Lock Will Not Open

• Ensure the dials are precisely aligned with your set combination. Sometimes a slight misalignment can prevent opening.
• Verify that you are using the correct combination. If you have forgotten your combination, unfortunately, there is no way to reset it without knowing the original code.

Shackle is Stiff or Difficult to Move

• Check for any foreign objects or debris obstructing the shackle mechanism.
• Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., graphite powder) to the shackle and the dial mechanism to improve movement.
