Usage Features
Initial Setup:
The safe is delivered with the door unlocked. To begin, users need to install four 1.5V AA alkaline batteries into the battery compartment located on the inside of the door. A "beep" sound and the illumination of all LED lights on the keypad confirm that the electronic system is active.
Programming the Personal Code:
With the door open and bolts retracted, the user presses the "CLEAR" key twice. The RED and GREEN LEDs will illuminate. The user then enters their desired personal code (3 to 6 digits) and presses "LOCK." To confirm, the code must be re-entered, followed by "LOCK." The LEDs will turn off, indicating successful programming. It is recommended to test the new code several times with the door open before closing the safe.
Opening and Closing with the Personal Code:
- To Close: Close the door and press the "LOCK" key. The bolts will extend automatically, and the RED LED will illuminate, indicating the safe is locked.
- To Open: Enter the personal code. The bolts will retract automatically, and the GREEN LED will illuminate, indicating the safe is open.
Service Code:
The safe is pre-programmed with a service code "1234." This code can be used for initial testing of the opening and closing mechanism.
Error Indications:
- Incorrect Code: If an incorrect code is entered, the YELLOW LED will illuminate. After four consecutive incorrect entries, the keypad will be disabled for 15 minutes.
- Obstruction: If something obstructs the bolts from extending or retracting, the YELLOW LED will flash, and the bolts will return to their previous position. The obstruction must be removed before retrying.
Battery Status Check:
At any time, with the door closed, pressing the "LOCK" key will check the internal battery status. If the YELLOW LED illuminates, it indicates that the batteries are low and need to be replaced soon.
Emergency Opening:
- Discharged Internal Batteries: If the internal batteries are completely discharged, the safe can be opened using an external 9V LR61 alkaline battery. The user must press the contacts of the 9V battery firmly against the corresponding contacts on the keypad, ensuring correct polarity. After applying external power, the personal code can be entered to open the safe.
- Mechanical Emergency Key: In situations where the safe cannot be opened electronically (e.g., due to complete battery failure or electronic malfunction), the mechanical emergency keys can be used. To access the keyhole, the adhesive label marked "TECHNOSAFE" on the door must be removed. The key is inserted with the cut-out facing upwards and turned clockwise until it stops. The GREEN LED will illuminate. After opening the door, the key is turned anti-clockwise and removed. The "LOCK" button should then be pressed to retract the bolts automatically. It is crucial to never leave the emergency keys inside the safe.
Maintenance Features
- Battery Replacement: It is recommended to replace the internal 1.5V AA alkaline batteries annually to ensure optimal performance. If the safe is not used for an extended period, the batteries should be removed to prevent leakage.
- Pre-Installation Check: Before installing the safe into a wall, it is advisable to test the opening and closing functions with the door open using the service code "1234" to ensure everything is working correctly.
- Code Security: Users are advised to store their personal code in a secure location and avoid using easily guessable information such as birthdays or phone numbers.
- Troubleshooting: In case of motor release failure or other faults, the first step is always to replace the batteries with new alkaline ones. The manufacturer disclaims responsibility for failures resulting from non-observance of instructions or improper use of the safe.
