Test Locking System
Important: ENGAGING LIVE BOLTS
Closing the safe door with the Live Bolts in the locked (extended) position can
damage the safe. The Locking Push Button should only be used when testing or
programming the safe with the door remaining open.
Electronic Locking System Test
With the door still open, you can test the Electronic Digital Lock
by manually activating the Locking System.
To activate the Locking System, locate the Locking Push Button
on the inside of the safe door, push it in and turn the handle
downward to the left. This will cause the Live Bolts to extend out
and into the locked position. Now with the door open and the
Live Bolts in the locked position, you may proceed to Testing the
Passcode.

Use, Care and Maintenance
Safe Care and Maintenance
When properly maintained, your safe will continue to operate and accurately
read the authorized Passcode for many years. In order to ensure optimum
performance of your safe, please follow these simple precautions:
Replace Batteries – For best results and performance, we recommend that the
batteries be replaced at least once a year or sooner depending on amount of
use. Clean the battery contacts in the battery compartment and on the batteries
before installing new batteries.
Clean Hands - Never attempt to operate the digital keypad if your hands have
excessive dirt, debris or liquids on them.
Clean Safe – To clean the surface of your safe, it is recommended that you use a
mild cleaner (e.g., window cleaner) to avoid scratching or discoloring the surface.
Always wipe dry and NEVER use abrasive cleansers on the safe or digital keypad.
For future reference, store this Operation and Installation Guide in a secure area
away from the safe. DO NOT DISCARD!
