WARNING
Gun warning
This product is not intended for the secure storage of all materials. Items
such as firearms, other weapons, combustible materials, or medication should
NOT be stored in this unit.
NOTICE
Do NOT store delicate items directly in your safe.
SentrySafe / Master Lock products which offer fire protection have a
proprietary insulation that has a high moisture content. In addition, the
SentrySafe / Master Lock advanced safes close airtight to offer water
resistance, which may also cause moisture to accumulate inside your safe. The
desiccant packet included in your safe during shipment should be left in your
safe. DO NOT DISCARD IT. It is intended to help absorb moisture which may
accumulate inside your safe. Please open your unit once every two weeks to
avoid moisture accumulation.
If you choose to store delicate items such as jewelry with working parts,
watches, stamps, or photos in your safe, we recommend putting them in an air-
tight container, prior to placing them in the safe for storage.
NOTE: SentrySafe / Master Lock Lock will not be responsible for any
damage or loss of items placed in the unit due to moisture.
Do NOT store pearls in this safe.
In the event of a fire, potential damage to delicate pearls occurs at
temperatures much lower than the 350°F (176°C) interior performance measure
which the UL classification performance standard indicated guarantees.
Therefore, DO NOT store pearls in your
SentrySafe / Master Lock product.
Do NOT store magnetic media or photo negatives.
This product is not intended to protect magnetic media or photo negatives.
Your safe is only part of your total security protection.

offices, basements,bedrooms and any other locations that are convenient for
you but out of direct line of sight from prying eyes. The location of the safe
does not affect the safe’s ability to protect your valuables inside.
