ELECTRONIC LOCK SECURITY CODE SETUP

Important: Your safe comes programmed with a factory code of [ 1 5 9 # ].
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. To begin programming, open the door and extend the locking plates to ensure access to the safe. On the inside of the safe door, locate the red plastic cap. Unscrew and remove the cap, giving you access to the reset button. Press the reset button. You will hear 1 beep and the keypad and yellow LED will both illuminate indicating that you are now in programming mode.
  2. Enter your new 3 to 8 digit security code followed by the [*]symbol.
    • If programming is successful: the Keypad will beep 2 times and the green LED will flash 2 times.
    • If your code was not accepted: The keypad will beep 5 times and the red LED will flash 5 times. Press the reset button and start again.
    • Inactivity Timeout: If this programming sequence is not completed within 10 seconds will beep 5 times and the red LED will flash 5 times. Return to step 1 to restart this process.
  3. While the safe door is still open, confirm your newly entered security code by entering the 3-8 digit code followed by the (#) symbol. If successful you will hear 2 beeps and you will see 2 green flashes. You will be able to retract the bolts. If unsuccessful, press the reset button and start again.

OPENING SAFE WITH PROGRAMMED SECURITY CODE

  • With keys in hand, close and lock the door. Enter your security code followed by the (#) button.
  • If the security code is accepted, the green LED will flash 2 times and you will hear 2 beeps.
  • You now have access to your safe. If the security code is rejected, the red LED will flash 5 times and beep 5 times.

Now that your security code is successfully programmed, store your override keys in a secure secondary location. If you are not able to open your safe with your new programmed code, repeat section 4 to program a new security code.

LOCKED OUT OF YOUR SAFE

PROPER PLACEMENT AND MOVING OF SAFE

  1. To maximize burglary protection and stability, securing the safe to the floor or wall is recommended.
  2. 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 direct line of sight from prying eyes.
  3. 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.

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.
