How do I start Teleskid with a PIN number

[Ptemp]

I’m trying to figure out if the use of a PIN to start my teleskid is an option that I didn’t purchase. When I go to documents and brochures online, I can’t find any list of options. In my computer screen, the PIN is just dimmed out and won’t let me select it.

2025 3TS-8W

Did a little digging and here what I got, hope this helps:

1. A PIN start/security code feature is not standard on all JCB Teleskid 3TS-8W models.
2. A grayed-out PIN menu usually means the feature was not purchased or installed on your machine.
3. Brochures often don’t list every optional feature especially security/immobilizer stuff because that’s part of dealer ordering, not public spec sheets.
4. The best way to confirm your exact option list (and whether a PIN system can be added) is through your JCB dealer with your machine’s serial number.

Thanks so much for the help on this. Unfortunately my dealer here is pretty new to JCB and they don’t seem to know much
I do think it is kind of a bummer since all the keys are the same and anyone can start this and use it.
I’ve been running CAT all my life and this is my first JCB. I love the teleskid. I hope I made the correct decision considering I might not have a dealer that will help me much.

Have a great new year.

Wish I could be of more help, but hopefully someone with experience will chime in soon. Happy New Year!
