The initial factory-set user code is 1234, and the super-user code is 123456.To learn how to open and close the safe, see Point 2: 2. “Safe opening and closing”.
For security reasons, it is necessary to change the initial codes from the Factory setting user and super-user codes and key in the numbers you choose. The new codes may have between 3 and 8 digits. To learn how to change the codes, see Point 3. “Changing opening codes”.
Top activate the delay function, see Point: 4. “Screen and sound setting configuration adjustments”.

In the event of any anomaly, such as batteries discharging, for example, the safe has an external power outlet available by means of a micro USB connector; see Point: 6.” Use of the external feed”. In any case, to avoid drainage of the batteries, please see Point: 7. “Battery level indicator”. In the event that the batteries become drained and you wish to replace them, see Point 8. “Replacement of the batteries”.
Identification of the safe is done through the serial number to be found on the front of the door and on the cover of these instructions, which you will need in order to request emergency openings, or spare parts, etc…

INITIAL OPENING

Proceed with the safe opening in the following manner:

Insert the emergency key (gold colored), which you’ll find in the envelope, in the lock.
Give a half-turn towards the right (in a clockwise direction)
Now give a half-turn towards the left (in an anti- clockwise direction), returning to the initial position, and take out the key.
Insert the user key (silver-colored) and give it two half-turns to the right. Open the safe.

For proper functioning the safe requires 4 x alkaline batteries 1,5V (AA), which are placed in the battery holder situated at the rear part of the door. To put them in place, open the lid on the battery carrier and insert batteries as per the diagram which you’ll find inside. Once completed, the electronic system will be activated.
To close the safe, simply make a half-turn towards the left (in an anti- clockwise direction).

OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE SAFE

Introduce the user key (silver-plated) into the lock
Press the key, the keyboard will show “——–“
Type in your opening user- or super- user code. The screen will continue showing the digits as you type them. If you make a mistake and type in a mistaken code, you can type in the code again just by typing the key again.
Press the enter key. If the code typed is correct a long beep will sound and the screen will display “OPEN” for 5 seconds. Give the knob two half-turns to the right (clockwise) to open the safe. If the code typed is incorrect, 4 short beeps will sound and the screen will display “ERROR 1”. In this event, start the process again. “ERROR 2” will show if the screen starts to wander again. The box allows a maximum of 5 mis-entered attempts before displaying “ERROR 5”, before blocking new attempts for 5 minutes as a security measure. During this period, the keypad will be locked and the screen will display the “LOCKED 5” message, indicating that a 5- minute blockage is in place. If any key is touched during the 5 minute blocking period, the Word LOCKED will appear on screen followed by a number which indicates the number of minutes of blockage remaining (“LOCKED 4”, “LOCKED 3”…). Once the last minute has been entered, there will be a 60-second countdown.
To close the box simply turn the knob to the left (in an anticlockwise direction).

CHANGING THE OPENING CODES

The box has two opening codes available, a user code and super-user code. Initially the codes are 1234 for the user code, and 123456 for the super-user code.
To change the user code, proceed in the following manner:

EMERGENCY OPENING

There is an envelope supplied along with these instructions which contains two user keys (silver-plated) and an emergency key (gold-colored) and an external feed for 4 AA batteries with a micro USB connector.
In the event that you don’t remember the user or super-user codes, or if the box is suffering from a malfunction, such as its batteries discharging, etc., then you can open the box by means of the emergency key. To do this, go ahead as follows:

Insert the (gold-colored) emergency key, which you will find within the envelope in the lock.
Make a half-turn to the right (in a clockwise direction)
Now make a half-turn towards the left (in an anti- clockwise direction), returning to the initial point of departure, and then remove the key.
Insert the (silver-plated) user key and give it two half-turns to the right, and open the safe.

USING THE EXTERNAL BATTERY FEED

To carry out an opening with the external feed, proceed in the following manner:

Place 4 x 1,5V (AA) batteries in the external feed.
Insert the feed connector in the current outlet located on the lower left of the keypad. The box will emit a long beep, indicating that it has a feed connection. Do not remove the feeder until the opening procedure has been completed.
As soon as “——–“shows on screen, open the box normally.
Should you not have an external AA battery feed to hand that ARREGUI provides, you can use any external lithium battery with a micro USB connector.

INDICATORS OF THE STATE OF THE BATTERY

Each time the key is tapped to go ahead with using the strong box, the electronic system checks the state of the batteries. If the batteries are at a high level, the box will function normally. If on the other hand the batteries are low, the box will display the “LO-BAT” message on screen. The box is designed to be able to carry out several openings even when the batteries are low, but even so ARREGUI recommends changing the batteries as soon as the box indicates it is necessary.
If you wish to find out the state of the batteries, you may tap the enter key with the box switched off; the system will carry out checks on the condition of the batteries, and will display the “HI-BAT” sign if the battery levels are normal, and “LO-BAT” if it is low.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

Open the box in the usual manner and take off the lid of the battery carrier stored on the inside of the door. Replace the installed batteries with 4 new alkaline Batteries, of type 1,5V (AA).

MAINTENANCE

Check the condition of the battery compartment on a regular basis (every 6 months) to identify any possible signs of rust, sulphation, etc.
Grease/oil any mechanical moving parts, such as locks and bolts.
