A high capacity battery upgrade is available as an accessory through our website.
The adapter used to charge the battery should output SV/2000mA or above when using a micro-USB cable.

Master Code Programming
First time users should change the default code as soon as possible to prevent unauthorized access to your safe. You will also use this master code to pair the Vaultek app on your smartphone. so it should be kept confidential.

TIP: Code Requirements

• Your code can be a minimum of 4 and a maximum ; of 8 digits. We recommend a code 6 to 8 digits in length using at least one of each key to make it more difficult for someone to guess your code. For your security. the safe will time out and sleep for 4 minutes if 6 incorrect entries are made.
• Two keys cannot be pressed simultaneously.
• Programming a new code will overwrite your previous code.
• TIP! The Vaultek app will ask for your safe’s master code during pairing and anytime you change the code the app will ask you to re-pair.

1. Open the safe. With the safe open. lift the protective “PROGRAM” cover (Figure D.1). Press and hold the ‘1’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together (3 seconds) (see FIGURE D.1) until all status bar LEDs turn RED and let go.
2. Enter your NEW master code.
3. IMMEDIATELY Press and hold the ‘1’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together a second time (3 seconds) until all status bar LEDs turn RED and let go.
4. Enter your NEW master code a second time.
5. IMMEDIATELY Press and hold the ‘1’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together a third time (3 seconds) until the safe beeps and all status bar LEDs turn GREEN and let go. This tone confirms that the code has been reset.
   If you make a mistake and the new code will not work, simply start over with step 1.

Biometric Programming (VTi Only)
Biometrics are methods of authenticating the identity of a person based on physical or behavioral characteristics. Biometric fingerprint authentication refers to technology that measures and analyzes human physical characteristics for identification and authentication purposes.
Everyone has their own unique fingerprints, and what makes them unique is the pattern of ridges, valleys, and minutiae points that comprise an individual print. Vaultek and their leading engineering group has developed proprietary technology to read and match fingerprints with unmatched speed and accuracy. That means that only authorized users have access to your valuables. The safe is capable of storing fingerprint data for up to 20 unique authorized users. A user consists of 5 scans of the same finger during registration. Once a user’s fingerprint data is stored in the safe and encrypted, it cannot be copied or stolen.

Helpful Programming Tips

• Place the core of the fingerprint flat (Figure E+F) over the center of the scanner (this allows the scanner to read where most of the fingerprint detail is located) see (Figure E).
• Adjust your finger slightly between scans for increased accuracy.
• Excessive moisture, lotions, or dirt will affect your fingerprint and may cause inaccurate sensor reading.
• If you are having difficulty with your print, program the same finger 4 or 5 times. You have 20 slots available for programing and you can also try your thumb as it has more surface area to read.

Programming the 1st and 2nd Fingerprints
The 1st and 2nd fingerprints will be recognized as administrative fingerprints and will be used to authorize additional users. To program additional users please refer to the next page.

1. Open the safe. Program 1st fingerprint by pressing and holding the ‘2’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together (3 seconds) (Figure H and H.1) until the first LED on the status bar located above the fingerprint sensor (Figure I) blinks RED .
   TIP: If the entire status bar is blinking RED then refer to programming fingerprints 3-20 on next page.

2. Using the helpful programming tips provided on page 09 place your finger on the fingerprint scanner for the 1st of five scans. When the safe beeps and the first status bar LED lights up GREEN remove your finger.

3. Place your finger again over the scanner until the safe beeps and the second status LED lights up GREEN and lift. You will repeat this process until all status bar LEDs (1-5) are solid GREEN.

4. Close the lid and test to see if the safe will open using your fingerprint. If you experience issues refer to the helpful programming tips listed on page 09 or view our tutorials online at vaulteksafe.com/support/vt-series/.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to add the 2nd administrative fingerprint.

Continue on next page to program fingerprints 3-20 and delete prints.

Biometric Programming (VTi Only)

Programming Additional Fingerprints
The first two fingerprints programmed into the safe are the administrative fingerprints. Any additional users programmed require authorization from one of these fingerprints.

1. Open the safe. Program additional fingerprints by pressing and holding the ‘2’ key then “PROGRAM” button together (3 seconds)(Figure Hand H.1 on page 10). The entire status bar will blink RED prompting you to scan one of the administrative fingerprints.

2. Place one of the first two programmed administrative fingerprints on the scanner and remove when the safe beeps and the entire status bar blinks GREEN. When the first LED on the status bar starts blinking RED you can enroll a NEW fingerprint.
   TIP If the administrative print is left on the scanner too long the safe will begin to program that fingerprint into the safe again and not the NEW fingerprint. If this happens start over with step one.

3. Using the helpful programming tips provided on page 09 place the NEW finger on the scanner. When the safe beeps and the first LED in the status bar lights up GREEN remove your finger.

4. Place finger again over the scanner until the safe beeps and the second status LED lights up GREEN and lift. You will repeat this process until all status bar LEDs (1-5) are solid GREEN.

Deleting Fingerprints
Individual fingerprints can not be deleted from the keypad on the safe. Following this procedure will erase all of the fingerprints including both administrative fingerprints. If you wish to delete individual fingerprints. refer to the Vaultek app. This procedure will not affect the keypad master code.

1. Press and hold the ‘3’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together until all the status bar LEDs light up RED and let go.
2. Enter your master code on the keypad. If the code is correct, all the status bar LEDs will blink GREEN and safe will beep indicating deletion of all the fingerprints.
