If you wish to prevent your personal code from 
being read on the digital readout, it can be 
hidden from view by inserting the “” after “#”.  
Example: “#  1 2 3 4 #”. 
If an incorrect code is entered, the word 
“ERROR” will appear on the digital readout 
and an alert tone will sound.  At this time, re-
enter the correct code.  
If an incorrect code is entered (3) times, the system will enter lockout mode 
for 5 minutes.   
The LCD will read “HOLD-05” showing the 
minutes remaining.  During the first minute the 
security alarm will sound.  During the entire 5-
minute period, the safe cannot be entered. 
If incorrect codes continue to be entered once 
the first five minute period has finished, a new 
15-minute lockout period will begin and the 
alarm will sound during the first minute. 
This safe is equipped with a security alarm.   
To activate alarm, press “0” with door closed.

  The safe is shaken or experiences forceful impact.
