UNDERSTANDING YOUR VAULT

INTERIOR OF FRONT PANEL

INITIAL ENTRY

1. Locate the key cover and remove it by pressing down on the three raised lines. The cover will pop up on one side so that it can be removed.
   

2. Insert the backup key. Turn and hold the key clockwise, and your vault door will automatically open.
   Remove backup keys and put aside.
   

BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. Locate the (4) AA batteries and insert in the battery compartment on the inside front left of the vault. Keypad will beep once when batteries are successfully installed. Replace battery cover.
   

WARNING : The batteries must be inserted with the correct polarity. Exhausted batteries must be removed from the product and discarded safely. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline or standard (carbon – zinc) batteries. Do not use rechargeable (nickel – cadmium) batteries.

PROGRAMMING YOUR FINGERPRINT

1. Inside of the vault, you will find a reset button on the right side of  the front panel.
   

2. Press the reset button to start the programming process. You will hear one beep and the indicator ring will illuminate on the front of the door.
   NOTE: Programming mode will time out after 10 seconds of inactivity. If this occurs press reset button and begin again.
   

3. Place and hold the pad of your finger on the scanner until it flashes green and beeps one time.
   

4. Repeat at least 3 more times until there are 2 consecutive beeps and 2 green flashes.
   IMPORTANT : Be sure to use the same finger for each recording sequence.
   

OPENING VAULT WITH PROGRAMMED FINGERPRINT

With keys in hand, close and lock the door. Place and hold the programmed finger on the scanner, indicator ring will illuminate green and vault door will open automatically.

If your fingerprint is not accepted:
Indicator ring will flash 1 time and sound 1 time. This means the scanner did not read your fingerprint (try again).

IMPORTANT : If you see 5 red flashes with 5 sounds, the scanner read your fingerprint but did not accept it. Follow section 6 to reprogram your fingerprint.

PROGRAMMING ADDITIONAL FINGERPRINTS

When accessing your vault quickly, there is a chance you may touch the scanner with a part of your finger that you have not registered before. For this reason, we recommend programming additional areas of your fingerprint to ensure fast and reliable entry to your vault.

INDIVIDUALLY MAPPING ALL ZONES OF YOUR FINGERPRINT WILL ENSURE A RELIABLE READING BY THE SCANNER.

To ensure each programming sequence is properly captured, it needs to read the exact same place on your finger four times in a row, once successful you can move onto the next zone of your fingerprint. This counts as one programmed fingerprint of 100 fingerprints this unit can keep in memory.

Once programming sequence has been successfully completed, you can move onto the next zone of your fingerprint.

Press the reset button and follow Section 4 instructions again, for each fingerprint zone you would like to program.

If you experience any problems reading your fingerprint, including inconsistent readings, note the area of your fingerprint that doesn’t work properly, and specifically re-program that area.

This scanner will hold up to 100 different fingerprints.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

In the event that you run into issues with programming and accessing your vault, please read through this section for answers to your questions.

Low Battery Indicator

| If you notice your indicator ring is not remaining on for a few seconds upon entering, replace batteries immediately to avoid being locked out of your vault.
---|---

PROBLEM

|

SOLUTION

---|---
YOUR PROGRAMMED FINGERPRINT IS NOT READING AT ALL TIMES| Make sure batteries are fresh. We suggest high grade alkaline. Do not mix old and new batteries. No not use rechargeable batteries.
Make sure you are placing the same part of your finger print on the scanner that was used for programming. If not, make note of the area that is not scanning and program that area specifically.
Placing a portion of a fingerprint on the scanner that has not been programmed can result in an error. We recommend programming multiple areas of each fingerprint.
YOUR FINGERPRINT IS NOT READING| Make sure to hold down your finger on the scanner instead of tapping, as the scanner needs time to complete the scanning process.
Fingerprints may lack definition due to excessive dryness. We recommend applying moisturizer or slide your finger print against your forehead before scanning process.
WILL PRESSING THE RESET BUTTON CLEAR THE MEMORY| Pressing and releasing the reset button will not erase fingerprints already recorded. It simply places the scanner in programming mode to allow for additional fingerprints to be programmed. This unit will hold up to 100 unique fingerprints.

LOCKOUT MODE / TAMPER PROTECTION

1. Three consecutive incorrect code entries will put the vault in “Basic Lockout” mode. Scanner is deactivated for 30 seconds.
2. After “Basic Lockout” mode has ended, another three consecutive incorrect code entries will result in “Severe Lockout” mode. Scanner is deactivated for 5-minutes.
   

CLEARING ALL PROGRAMMED FINGERPRINTS

Hold Reset button. Initially, you will hear one beep. Continue holding reset button for 5 seconds, the indicator ring will flash green two times and beep two times.

NOTE:
If 100 max fingerprints have already been programmed indicator ring will flash 5 times and beep 5 times. We recommend clearing all programmed fingerprints and starting the programming process over.

SILENT ENTRY MODE

To initiate silent entry mode, hold a programmed finger on the scanner for 5 seconds beyond your fingerprint being accepted. The green indicator ring will turn off and back on, but will not beep, indicating you are now in silent entry mode.
You will not hear any sounds for any functions while the vault is in silent entry mode.
To turn the sound back on, hold a programmed finger on the scanner for 5 seconds beyond your fingerprint being accepted. The green indicator ring will turn off and back on and will beep once indicating you are no longer in silent entry mode.

PROPER PLACEMENT AND MOVING OF VAULT

1. To maximize burglary protection and stability, securing the vault to the floor or table is recommended.
2. SA Consumer Products recommends that you store your vault 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 vault is in an isolated and dry area. Never place the vault in direct contact with a wet floor. When installing your vault on a concrete floor, use of a moisture/protective barrier is highly recommended. Failure to do so or exposing the vault to chemicals or other adverse environments may void the warranty.

SECURING YOUR VAULT

SECURING YOUR VAULT WITH PROVIDED CABLE AND NUT

1. A security cable is included with your vault. To secure the cable around a fixed object, first loop the cable around the object as shown in the figure to the right.
   

2. Insert the threaded end of the cable into the notch on the backside of the vault while still open.

3. From the inside of the vault, take the provided nut and thread onto the cable until fully secured.
   

TOOLS AND HARDWARE NEEDED TO SECURE VAULT TO A WOOD OR CONCRETE SURFACE:

• DRILL/HAMMER DRILL
• 3/8” DRILL BIT ( FOR DRILLING ANCHOR HOLE ) or 3/16” (FOR INSTALL W/ OUT ANCHOR)
• SOCKET WRENCH TO MATCH BOLT HEAD SIZE
• 2 STEEL LAG BOLTS (NOT INCLUDED) – SIZE 1/4″ X 1.50″ TO 2.0″ LONG
• 2 STEEL WASHERS (NOT INCLUDED) – 1/4″
• 2 PLASTIC ANCHORS (NOT INCLUDED)- SIZE #10-12 X 1.5″ TO 1.75″ LONG (FOR CONCRETE INSTALLATION)
• 4 PADS (INCLUDED)
  

1. Use the recommended hardware or consult your hardware retailer for fastening hardware for your particular mounting surface.
2. Open the vault door to provide access to the factory drilled bolt down holes that are located under the protective foam liner.
3. To secure your vault to the floor, it will first be necessary to mark and 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. When mounting on concrete we recommend using a hammer drill and a concrete drill bit to drill the two corresponding holes in the mounting surface.
5. Secure the vault by threading anchor bolts through the factory drilled bolt down holes in the vault and screw down tight with a ratchet wrench.

LOADING YOUR VAULT

1. Store ammunition separately from valuables.
2. Do not put anything in your vault that will put pressure against the door when it is closed.

MAINTAINING HINGES AND INTERNAL MECHANISMS
