User Manual
A complete guide to power, opening and automatic locking, password changes, optional fingerprint access and everyday troubleshooting.
Before changing passwords or batteries
Keep the door open and check that the safe operates correctly before closing it. The DC 12 V adapter is the main power supply; the batteries provide auxiliary power.
1. First use & safety
First-use checklist
- Identify your controls and connect the correct DC 12 V adapter.
- Use your current password to open the safe. The manual lists 123456 as the factory password for User 1.
- Set a personal password. If your safe has the second-user option enabled, set its personal password as well.
- Test new passwords with the door open before storing items and closing the safe.
Handling and placement
- Keep fingers and objects clear when opening and closing the door. Keep children away.
- Take care around the edges of the safe to avoid injury.
- The safe is heavy. Use care and professional assistance when moving or installing it. Improper handling may damage floors or furniture.
- Use a well-ventilated, dry, flat location. Secure the safe firmly to the floor during installation.
- Do not place fragile glass or ceramic objects on top of the safe, where they may fall.
Care and storage
- Keep moisture and foreign metal objects out of the keypad.
- Do not scratch the keypad with sharp objects or apply excessive force.
- Avoid gasoline, benzene, solvents, acetone, thinner and other chemicals.
- Keep the safe away from direct fire and heat.
- Remove batteries if the safe will not be used for a long time.
- Do not force the handle; excessive force may cause breakage.
Keep a record of your password in a separate secure location, as advised in the manual.
Reference: PDF page 2 (printed page 2), PDF page 3 (printed page 3) and PDF page 5 (printed pages 7–8).
2. Parts & controls
- LCD display, touch keypad and START: used for password entry, settings and messages.
- Fingerprint sensor: used on models equipped with the optional fingerprint lock.
- White memory button: inside the door, used to set passwords, sound and optional fingerprints.
- Internal battery pack: on the back of the door, for auxiliary power.
- Emergency battery pack: stored on the back of the safe; connects to the emergency power socket on the side of the door.
- Adapter input: on the back of the safe.
- Other inside parts: drawer, shelf, card/key holder and optional alarm.
Reference: PDF page 3 (printed page 4) and PDF page 4 (printed pages 5–6).
3. Connecting the DC adapter
Use the DC 12 V adapter specified for your safe as its main power supply. Batteries are an auxiliary source.
- Locate the adapter input on the back of the safe.
- Connect the DC 12 V adapter jack to that input.
- Connect the adapter's power cord to the outlet.
- Check the automatic inspection: a notification sound is heard and the LCD indicators light on and off. The manual identifies this as normal startup.
Use the correct adapter. The manual warns that an unauthenticated adapter may cause system problems not covered by the warranty. Confirm a replacement adapter with your local retailer if needed.
Reference: PDF page 4 (printed page 5).
4. Batteries & emergency pack
When the door can be opened
- Open the door and remove the battery cover on its back.
- Insert six 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries in the correct direction.
- Check the startup indication: SAFE → _0… → good, with a beep.
- Confirm that the safe works correctly before closing the door.
When low batteries prevent opening
- Take the emergency battery pack from the back of the safe.
- Insert batteries into that pack in the correct direction, following its markings and the specified AA battery type.
- Connect the emergency pack's plug to the emergency power socket on the side of the door.
- Follow the normal password opening procedure.
- Once access is restored, replace the internal batteries and test operation with the door open.
The emergency pack is for urgent use. For normal use, the manual recommends the adapter. Emergency power supplies the lock with power; you still need the current password or registered fingerprint on an equipped model.
Replace batteries immediately when
- Lo_bAt appears.
- The door fails to open when OPEn appears after password entry.
- good appears with “beep beep” after password entry.
- The screen does not turn on when START is pressed.
- The touch display is faint, the safe does not respond or it malfunctions.
Read “good” in context: it is normal during the battery startup sequence, but with “beep beep” after password entry it is listed as a battery-replacement warning.
Reference: PDF page 4 (printed page 6).
5. Opening & automatic locking
Open with a password
- Press START. The display shows ------.
- Enter your 4–20 digit password.
- When OPEn appears with a beep, pull the door open within 3–4 seconds.
Factory passwords listed in the manual
User 1: 123456.
User 2, optional: 567890.
These apply only if the corresponding factory settings are still in use. Use your current personal password after it has been changed.
Press START to cancel a password entry in progress. For hidden password display, press START twice for security mode before entering the password.
Close and lock
Close the door fully, keeping fingers and stored items clear. The door locks automatically when closed. Check that it is secured before leaving the safe.
If entry fails
Err-03 indicates an incorrect password. Five consecutive incorrect passwords trigger a 3-minute alarm. Press START and enter the correct password to stop it, or wait for that incorrect-password alarm to stop automatically.
Reference: PDF page 5 (printed page 7) and PDF page 2 (printed page 11).
6. Changing or adding passwords
The safe supports one or two passwords, each 4–20 digits long.
Keep the door open during setup and testing. Do not close it until you have confirmed that the new password works.
Set User 1
- Enter the current password and open the door.
- Press the white memory button inside the door. The display shows -CodE-, then USEr_.
- Press 1, then START. The screen shows ------.
- Enter the new 4–20 digit password. Wait for AgAin, then ------.
- Enter the same new password again. USEr_1 confirms User 1 setup.
- Test the new password with the door open before closing the safe.
Add or set the second password
Repeat the procedure, choosing 2 instead of 1 at the user-selection step, followed by START. Enter and repeat the new second password when prompted, then test it with the door open.
If setup times out: repeat the procedure promptly. The troubleshooting guide specifies entering the password in under 5 seconds. Contact your local retailer if a keypad or memory-button fault prevents setup.
Reference: PDF page 5 (printed page 8) and PDF page 2 (printed page 11).
7. Keypad lock, privacy & sound
Keypad lock mode

- Briefly press the memory button once more.
- Press 1 for deletion.
- Enter the fingerprint ID number to delete and press START.
Delete all fingerprints
This removes every registered fingerprint. In the deletion sequence, press the white memory button instead of selecting an individual ID. See PDF page 6, printed page 9.
Reference: PDF page 6 (printed page 9).
9. Security alarm
Use the separate alarm's ON/OFF switch to control it. The alarm uses a 9 V battery, separate from the safe's six AA batteries.
Protect your hearing. The manual warns that the alarm is 120 dB and can damage hearing. Avoid close exposure to the sounding unit.
The incorrect-password alarm is described separately in the opening instructions: after five consecutive wrong passwords, press START and enter the correct password, or wait 3 minutes for that alarm to stop.
Reference: PDF page 5 (printed page 7) and PDF page 2 (printed page 11).
10. Anchoring the safe
Only for safes with pre-drilled anchor holes. Insert the anchor into the floor before bolting down the safe. Anchor sizes vary by model; confirm your hardware and use professional installation assistance when needed.
| Metric anchor size listed | Hole diameter listed |
|---|---|
| M6 × 50 mm | 10 mm |
| M10 × 101 mm | 14 mm |
| M10 × 152 mm | 14 mm |
- Check the anchor size. The manual specifies a hole depth of 50 mm (2 inches). Confirm the drilling requirements for the actual anchor and floor.
- Insert the anchor bolt and anchor pipe.
- Fit the flat washer and nut. Tighten with the 14 mm wrench specified in the manual so the anchor expands and secures into the floor.
- Remove the nut and washer.
- Position the safe so the anchor passes through the centre hole in its base.
- Fit the washer, lock washer and nut, then tighten.
The bolt may need to be cut. Fit the cover over the hole for fire resistance, as directed in the manual.
Reference: PDF page 6 (printed page 10).
11. Messages & troubleshooting
No response when START is pressed
- Check the main adapter and its connections.
