Usage Features

Getting Started

Battery Installation: Upon first receiving the safe, you will need to open the door with the key in order to install the batteries. Batteries are included and are located inside the safe.
Opening with Key: To open the door with the key, first remove the lock cover from the front of the faceplate using a thin bladed flathead screwdriver as shown in the manual. Insert the key and turn clockwise. Hold the key in the open position and turn the knob to the right to open the door.

This provides instant access to this important information should you ever lose your keys. Only you will have access to this information.

Fingerprint Registration

Initiating Registration: To register a fingerprint, first press the Reset Button on the inside of the safe's door. The scanner will turn blue with two beeps (if sound is turned on) and the blue light will flash twice.
Scanning Fingerprint (First Time): Press the scanner with the selected finger until there is one beep (if sound is turned on) and the green light flashes once. Lift your finger from the scanner.
Scanning Fingerprint (Second Time): Press the scanner a second time with the same finger (holding the finger in a slightly different position) until there is one beep (if sound is turned on) and the green light flashes once. Lift your finger from the scanner.
Scanning Fingerprint (Third Time): Press the scanner a third time with the same finger (holding the finger in a slightly different position) until there are two beeps (if sound is turned on) and the green light flashes twice. Lift your finger from the scanner.
Confirmation: Your fingerprint is now registered. If the red light flashes three times with three beeps, your fingerprint was not registered, and you will need to start over.
Multiple Fingerprints: You can register up to 20 different fingerprints. If you attempt to register more than 20 fingerprints, the red light will flash 5 times and there will be 5 beeps. For convenience, it is recommended to register several different fingers and to record the most used finger several times.

Opening the Safe Using Fingerprints

Scanning Fingerprint: To open the safe, press the scanner with a registered fingerprint. The blue light will come on with one beep (if sound is turned on) and the scan will begin.
Successful Scan: If the green light flashes twice with two beeps (if sound is turned on), the scan has been accepted, and you will have 5 seconds to turn the handle to open the door.
Unsuccessful Scan: If the red light flashes once, the scanner did not read your fingerprint, and you need to try again. If the red light flashes 3 times, the scanner read your fingerprint but did not accept it.
Lockout Feature:
- If there are 3 rejected scans (red light flashes 5 times with 5 beeps), you will have an automatic lockout for 60 seconds before you can try a new scan. The safe will beep once and the green light will flash once when the lockout period is over.
- If there are 1 or more additional rejected scans (red light flashes 5 times with 5 beeps), you will have an automatic lockout for 5 minutes before you can try a new scan. The safe will beep once and the green light will flash once when the lockout period is over.

Locking the Safe

To lock the safe, close the door and turn the knob to the left to the 12:00 position. Important Note on Locking: Because the locking mechanism is deactivated for approximately 3 to 6 seconds after the fingerprint is entered, wait a minimum of 6 seconds from the time you have successfully scanned your finger to lock the safe. Always ensure the knob is turned completely to the left to the 12:00 position during the locking process; otherwise, the locking mechanism will not engage.

Selecting a Location

This safe must be mounted into a drawer. For optimal safety and security, the safe should be installed in an isolated, dry, and secure area. Warning: The safe should always be kept out of the reach of children.

Securing the Safe

This safe must be mounted into a drawer. Failure to do so will compromise the safety and security of the safe.

Place the safe in the desired drawer and mark the mounting holes with a pencil. Remove the safe and drill the pilot holes for the screws. Replace the safe in the drawer and insert the screws through the mounting holes and drawer bottom. Secure the bolt by tightening the Nylock nut on the screws.

Maintenance Features

Clearing the Memory

To clear the memory of all recorded fingerprints, locate the reset button on the inside of the door and press this button for about 5 seconds until the green light flashes 10 times with 10 beeps (if the sound is turned on).
