Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the Safe. Do not use while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medi-cation.
Maintain a safe working environment. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.
Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI approved eye protection when install-ing this product.

This is not a toy. Never allow children to play in or with the Safe.
OperatiOn
Remove the round plastic keyhole cover on the front of the Safe. (see Figure 1)
Use a key to unlock the Safe. The keys should be stored in a secure place, away from the lo-cation of the Safe. Do not store the keys in the Safe, since they may be needed to provide ac-cess to the Safe if the batteries fail.
Replace the cover firmly back onto the door of the Safe. Place shelves on braces inside the Safe, and place felt in the bottom of the Safe.
Remove the cover of the Battery
Compartment just inside the Safe door and, observing polarity, install four 1.5V AA-size Batteries. Replace cover. (see Figure 2)
Open Door code
The open door code is a series of 11 digits that can be typed on the Buttons to open the Safe. The factory default code is 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2, this code should be changed immediately.
The new code cannot begin with a “0”. That aside, any combination with a total of 11 digits using 0, 1, 2, and 3 can be entered. Write the new 11 digit code down and keep it in a secure location.
To set a new Open Door Code, hold the Initialize Button, located on the inside of the Safe door near the battery compartment, down for 6 seconds. (See Figure 2) The Safe will beep twice to indicate that the Buttons are ready for input.
Input the new 11 digit code once without pausing. The Safe will beep and the green LEDs will flash to show acceptance of the new Open Door Code.

Fingerprints
registering Fingerprints
When the Safe door is open, press the small red Initialize Button located on the inside of the Safe door near the battery compartment.
The LEDs will flash green and the Safe will beep. The Scanner Window will flash for 5 seconds. While the Scanner Window is flashing, put the chosen finger on the Scanner Window. The Scanner Window will then record the fingerprint, this may take several seconds. There will be a long beep indicating that the finger-print has been stored. Remove the finger from the Scanner Window. After 1 second, the Scanner Window will flash red again, place the same finger on the Scanner Window and hold in place until the Safe beeps twice.
The fingerprint has been stored.
Repeat this process to record other digits for the same person or for any others who may require access to the Safe (up to 30 fingerprints).
to Open the safe using a Fingerprint:
Push the “0” button.
The Safe will beep, the green LEDs will flash, and the Scanning Window will acti-vate and flash red.
If the fingerprint has been saved correctly, the green LED will light up and the Safe will open automatically.
to close the safe Door:
Close the door firmly, turn the handle, and the Safe will lock automatically.
note: Always keep hands and any clothing items clear of Safe door when closing.
resetting the safe
Resetting the Safe will erase all stored fingerprints and set the open door code back to the factory default.
With the Safe door open, remove one battery to cut power. Press the “0” Button.
Press the red Initialize Button located on the inside of the Safe door near the bat-tery compartment, and hold while re-inserting the batbat-tery. The Safe will beep. After about 3 seconds, there will be a long beep tone and the green LED will flash to indicate that the Safe has been fully reset.
The open door code has been set back to the default setting of 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2.
Battery Back-up
Store the Battery Back-up in a safe, dry location, out of the reach of children. If the batteries inside the Safe should fail, install four
1.5V AA Batteries in the Battery Back-up, according to the correct positive and negative polarity align-ment.
Plug the Battery Back-up into the connection under-neath the edge of the keypad, just above the oval plate.
This will supply enough power to open the Safe using the Scanner Window or the Open Door Code.
After Safe is open, replace the four 1.5V AA Batteries in the Safe. Remove the batteries from the Battery Back-up and return the Battery Back-up to it’s safe, dry storage location.
nOte: Dispose of any used batteries in a manner consistent with the handling of such
MOunting instructiOns
caution! Before drilling or driving nails, make sure there are no wires, cables or pipes
in the path.
Choose a location for the Safe that is easily accessible, yet hidden from casual view. Select a position for the Safe that allows it to be bolted to the wall.
To attach the Safe to a wood surface, measure the distance between the mount-ing holes to be used and hammer a nail (not included) to mark the hole place-ment. Drill an 1/8” diameter pilot hole into each mounting hole location. Place the Safe over the mounting holes and secure the Safe using four 1/4” diameter self-tapping screws (not included). Make sure that each fastener has a nut threaded flush with top of the Fastener to protect the thread during driving it into the wood. To use the concrete fasteners, drill a small pilot hole through the template to mark the hole placement. Next drill four holes in the correct location, using a carbide tip bit. Drill the holes the same diameter as the fasteners and 2” deep. Hammer the fastener in the hole with the flat side going into the hole first. Use a wood block between the bolt and the hammer to protect the threads.
Place the Safe over the bolts (with the nut removed from the bolts) and tighten a nut onto each bolt. As you tighten the nuts onto the bolts, the fasteners will expand inside the cement, securing the Safe in place.
inspectiOn, Maintenance, anD cleaning
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Safe. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, dam-aged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. Have any problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equip-ment.
Keep the Scanner Window clean to ensure accurate fingerprint reading and scanning. Use a damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent to clean it regu-larly.
Clean the surfaces of the Safe with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dust.
