SAFETY

• Safe bodies and doors are extremely heavy thus SA Consumer Products requires a minimum of two people to ensure the stability of the safe during installation. Always ensure proper installation, as laid out in this manual, and do not open the door with the safe on an uneven or unstable floor. Ignoring this could result in serious injury or death.

FIREARM STORAGE

• If you choose to utilize this safe to store a firearm always follow proper firearm and local laws.
• SA Consumer Products strongly recommends that you do not store loaded firearms.
• Always follow the firearm safety rules set out by the firearm’s manufacturer. A Sports Afield Safe or any other firearm storage device cannot take the place of other safety procedures including advising children of the dangers of firearms.
• SA Consumer Products and its distributors of the Sports Afield Safes do not recommend, suggest, advise, promote, or otherwise condone the ownership or use of firearms. We believe the decision to own or use a firearm is a serious decision that should only be made by an adult who has carefully considered the risks and benefits of such a decision.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SAFE

UNBOXING

WARNING: SAFES ARE HEAVY AND CAN BE UNSTABLE ON UNEVEN GROUND.
PLEASE ENSURE EXTRA CAUTION WHEN DEALING WITH OR MOVING UNSECURED SAFES. WHILE UNBOXING BE SURE TO HAVE A SECOND PERSON HOLD AND STABILIZE THE SAFE TO KEEP IT FROM TIPPING, CAUSING INJURY, AND/OR

• DAMAGE TO THE SAFE AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES.
  Remove the packaging. If your safe is still on shipping feet you can simply lift the box up and off the safe once the strapping has been removed. If your safe does not have shipping feet you will need to carefully remove the box, ensuring not to damage the safe and/or injure yourself. You will want to have someone stabilize the safe when removing the cardboard and other packing material from underneath the safe.

INSPECTION

• Make sure to inspect your safe for shipping damage before accepting delivery. If you find any damage, please contact the delivery company (or carrier) immediately.
• Any damage not noted upon delivery must be reported within fifteen (15) days or there will be no recourse. Any noted damage at the time of delivery must be resolved with the delivery company and/or retailer. Shipping damage is not warrantable by SA Consumer Products.

INITIAL ENTRY

1. Locate the override keys inside the plastic bag hanging on the front of the safe.
   

2. Locate the keyhole in the backer plate. Insert and turn the override key clockwise to unlock.
   

3. Turn the handle counterclockwise until the safe door opens. Once open, turn the handle back to its starting position so the bolts are open and extended. Remove key.
   

PROPER PLACEMENT AND MOVING OF SAFE

WARNING: SAFES ARE VERY HEAVY AND AWKWARD TO HANDLE. PLEASE USE THE UTMOST CARE IN MOVING THE SAFE. UTILIZING A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL WITH PROPER MOVING EQUIPMENT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
The location of the gun safe is very important and the utmost care should be taken during this consideration.

1. To maximize the fire protection of your safe, we recommend you place the safe in lower levels in your home where fire temperatures are lower and away from highly combustible materials.

2. To maximize burglary protection and stability, securing the safe to the floor is recommended.

3. SA Consumer Products recommends that you store your safe in a closet, office, basement, bedroom, or any other location that is convenient for you but out of the direct line of sight from prying eyes. The location of the gun safe is very important.

4. SA Consumer Products requires the safe is secured to the floor to ensure the safe does not tip over in case of a flood.
   Using a dolly capable of supporting the size and weight of your safe, move the safe to your desired location. Please take all necessary precautions to protect and prevent any damage to your flooring.
   HELPFUL: TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR SAFE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH DOORWAYS, STAIRS, OR CORNERS, TAKE THE EMPTY SAFE BOX AND SEE IF IT WILL FIT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO ITS FINAL LOCATION.

5. The safe should be installed adjacent to a side wall with minimal space on either side of the safe. Wherever possible, the safe should be flat against the wall and floor. Remove the baseboard and/or wall trim if necessary.

6. Always ensure the safe is in an isolated and dry area. Never place the safe in direct contact with a wet floor. When installing your safe on a concrete floor, the use of a moisture/protective barrier is highly recommended. Failure to do so, or exposing the safe to chemicals or other adverse environments, may void the warranty.

7. If your safe seems unlevel, you may need to shim the bottom of the safe to prevent the door from swinging open too quickly or closing on itself.

KEEPING YOUR SAFE DRY

We recommend placing a moisture/protective barrier between your safe and concrete floor to prevent any moisture, mildew, and rust damage to the safe. Installing your safe in a place with climate control (heat in the winter and cooling in the summer) is highly recommended. In areas of high humidity or frequent temperature fluctuations (garages), it is recommended to take appropriate precautions to ward against moisture damage. We strongly encourage the use of an internal dehumidifier and/or desiccants to protect your contents from rust or mildew. Internal dehumidifiers should not be in direct contact with the side or back walls.

SECURING YOUR SAFE

WARNING: YOUR SAFE IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ITSELF WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED.
HOWEVER, CAUTION SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID TIPPING. WHILE SECURING YOUR SAFE BE SURE TO HAVE A SECOND PERSON HOLD AND STABILIZE THE SAFE TO KEEP IT FROM TIPPING, CAUSING INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE SAFE AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL COMPROMISE THE SAFETY, SECURITY, AND WARRANTY OF THE SAFE.
TOOLS NEEDED TO BOLT SAFE TO A CONCRETE SURFACE

• DRILL / HAMMER DRILL
• DRILL BIT – 1/2” ( for installing into concrete with provided hardware)
• WRENCH / 11/16” (17MM) SOCKET
• HAMMER
• SAFETY GLASSES
• GLOVES
• OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT AS NEEDED

1. Use the hardware provided or consult your hardware retailer for fastening hardware for your particular mounting surface.
2. Open your safe door and locate and remove the four black caps on the safe floor. This will provide access to the factory-drilled bolt-down holes.
3. To secure your safe to the floor it will first be necessary to drill pilot holes in the floor surface.
4. Drill the appropriate diameter and depth of pilot holes based on the type of hardware being used and the type of floor surface. For the hardware provided (concrete floor installation) we recommend using a hammer drill and 1/2” concrete drill bit to drill the four corresponding holes in the concrete floor.
5. Insert and drive the plastic anchoring plugs into the pilot holes. You may need to use a hammer to fully insert the plugs into the pilot holes.
6. Secure the safe, by threading all 4 anchor bolts through the factory-drilled bolt-down holes in the bottom of the safe and ratcheting down tight.
7. Replace the four black caps on the floor of the safe.

ELECTRONIC LOCK INSTALLATION

1. Remove E-Lock from the box located inside the safe.
   Note: Keep the door open during installation with keys in hand.
   

2. The E-Lock requires a 1x9V alkaline battery. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the E-Lock. Insert the battery in the proper orientation. The keypad will beep when the battery is successfully installed.
   WARNING: The battery must be inserted with the correct polarity. The exhausted battery must be removed from the product and discarded safely.
   

3. Plug the E-Lock cable into the back of the E-Lock. The cable connector will only fit one way.
   4. Align the E-Lock to the backer plate, with the E-Lock slightly rotated to the left. Turn clockwise until the E-Lock clicks into place.
   

SECURITY CODE SETUP FOR NON-ILLUMINATED E-LOCKS

Important: It is necessary to re-program your safe with a new security code you have personally selected to provide maximum household security. Be careful, in choosing your new security code, you’ll want to be sure that you can operate the unit quickly without making an error.

1. Key in the preset factory code [ 1 5 9 # ]. The right light will turn green. Turn the handle to ensure the bolts are activated. Once confirmed return the handle to starting position to lock the bolts out.
   

2. On the inside of the safe door, locate the small brass cap. Unscrew and remove the cap, you will now see the reset button. Press and release the reset button You will hear a beep. The yellow (left) light on the E-lock will illuminate so that you can enter your new code.
   

3. Enter your new 3 to 8-digit security code while the yellow (left LED) light is illuminated followed by the [ ] symbol. The keypad will beep twice after pressing the [ ] symbol. Reenter the new code, now followed by the [ # ] symbol. The keypad will flash yellow (left LED), beep twice, then flash green (right LED).
   

4. While the safe door is still open, confirm your newly entered security code. Confirm code by entering the 3-8 digit code followed by the [ # ]. If successful you will hear two beeps and the green light will illuminate, allowing you to retract the bolts.
   

Note: Do not shut the safe door until you have confirmed your new security code at least 3 times to ensure your code has been saved and you can open the door successfully If the code fails, the yellow (left) light will flash and beep. Repeat the steps above until successful.
Warning: If the incorrect security code is entered 3 times you will have an automatic lockout for 20 seconds before you can enter your code again. If 3 additional failed attempts are made, the keypad will lock out for 5 minutes. Leave batteries in to go through the lockout cycle. If batteries are removed the timer will restart to zero.

LOW BATTERY WARNING

• This E-Lock is equipped to alert you when the battery is low by illuminating the red light (center) when any button is pressed on the keypad. Please replace the battery immediately when receiving this warning.
• Always test the battery when installing or replacing it.
  If the red light comes on when a button is pressed you know the battery is not fully charged.

E-LOCK QUIET MODE

• By activating the E-lock quiet mode, the safe will no longer make an audible sound when interacting with the safe, allowing for silent access.

1. To mute the E-Lock, enter the code [ * 6 3 3 ].
2. To turn the sound back on, enter code [ * 6 6 ].

LOCKED OUT OF YOUR SAFE

In the event, you have forgotten the security code your primary action will be to use your override keys in order to gain access to your safe and follow the E-Lock Security Setup Code instructions, starting at step 2 of activating the brass reset button.
If you have lost your override keys, you will need to contact customer service at the number below. Proof of purchase is required to obtain keys.

LOADING YOUR SAFE

1. Store documents or heat-sensitive items in the bottom of the safe for the greatest protection against fire damage.
2. Store ammunition separately from valuables.
3. Do not put anything in your safe that will put pressure against the door when it is closed.
4. Select safe models have reinforced shelving, but as a good safety precaution store heavier items either on the floor of the safe or away from the middle of the shelves.
5. When loading firearms into your safe, make sure they rest securely against the cutouts provided in the gun racks to prevent accidental tipping when the door is closed.
