side of the safe door. (Figure 1)
TESTING THE DIGITAL LOCK
Once the batteries are installed, test the digital lock using the preset factory code.
IMPORTANT: Replace batteries regularly to avoid losing keypad access to your safe. If the bat-
teries drain completely, you will not be able to access the safe using your passcode. However, you 
will still be able to open the safe using the Override Access Keys. To open the safe with the keys, 
follow the instructions in the Using the Override Access Keys section. Then, replace the batteries 
and reset your passcode.
