Setup Instructions

1. Unboxing and Placement: Carefully remove the safe from its packaging. Place the safe on a flat, stable surface. Ensure the location is discreet and secure.
2. Battery Installation: Locate the battery compartment, typically inside the door or on the control panel. Insert the required batteries (not specified, assume standard AA or AAA) into the battery box. Connect the battery box to the safe's power input if it's an external box, or install batteries directly into the internal compartment.
3. Initial Unlocking: For first-time use, open the safe using one of the emergency keys provided. Insert the key into the keyhole (usually hidden) and turn it while simultaneously turning the knob to open the door.
4. Mounting the Safe (Optional but Recommended): For enhanced security, the safe can be fixed to a wall or floor.
   • Choose a suitable location with a solid surface (e.g., concrete wall, wooden stud).
   • Mark the drilling points using the pre-drilled holes on the back or bottom of the safe as a template.
   • Drill pilot holes into the wall/floor.
   • Align the safe with the drilled holes and secure it using the provided expansion screws.
   • Ensure the safe is firmly attached and cannot be easily removed.
5. Registering Fingerprints:
   • With the safe door open, press the internal reset button (refer to the manual for exact location).
   • Place your finger on the biometric scanner. The safe will prompt you to lift and place your finger multiple times from different angles until registration is complete.
   • You can register up to 25 different fingerprints.
   • Test the registered fingerprint to ensure it unlocks the safe.
6. Setting a Password:
   • With the safe door open, press the internal reset button.
   • Enter your desired password (typically 4-8 digits) on the keypad, followed by the '#' or 'confirm' button.
   • Re-enter the password to confirm.
   • Test the password to ensure it unlocks the safe.

Operating Instructions

Unlocking Methods

The Novasafe offers four convenient ways to access your valuables:

1. Fingerprint + Knob: Place a registered finger on the biometric scanner. Once recognized (indicated by a light or sound), turn the knob clockwise to open the door.
2. Password + Knob: Enter your programmed password on the keypad. Press '#' or 'confirm'. Once accepted, turn the knob clockwise to open the door.
3. Emergency Key + Knob: If batteries are dead or you forget your codes, use one of the emergency keys. Insert the key into the hidden keyhole, turn it, and simultaneously turn the knob to open.
4. Emergency Battery Box + Password + Knob: If the internal batteries are depleted and you don't have the emergency key, connect the external emergency battery box to the safe's external power port. Then, use the Password + Knob method to open the safe.

Dual Alarm System

The safe is equipped with a dual alarm system for enhanced security:

• Wrong Password Attempts: If three incorrect password attempts are made consecutively, a loud 70dB alarm will activate.
• Violent Vibration: If the safe detects violent vibrations or tampering, the 70dB alarm will also activate.

To stop the alarm, enter the correct password or use a registered fingerprint.

Mute Mode

To turn on/off the key tone (mute mode), press and hold the '1' button on the keypad for 3 seconds. This is useful for discreet operation.

Internal Features

• Removable Shelf: The safe includes a removable shelf for organizing items.
• Built-in Hooks: Use the internal hooks for hanging keys or small items.
• Sensor LED Light: An internal LED light illuminates the safe's interior when opened, making it easy to locate items in low light conditions.

Maintenance

• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears. Use high-quality alkaline batteries for optimal performance.
• Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the safe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components. Keep the fingerprint scanner clean and dry for accurate readings.
• Fireproof Bag Care: The included fireproof and waterproof bag should be stored inside the safe. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or sharp objects when not in use to maintain its protective properties.
• Key Storage: Store emergency keys in a secure location away from the safe, but accessible in case of emergency. Do not store them inside the safe.

Troubleshooting

• Safe does not open with fingerprint: Ensure your finger is clean and dry. Try different angles or re-register your fingerprint if issues persist. Ensure the scanner is clean.
• Safe does not open with password: Double-check that you are entering the correct password. Ensure the keypad is clean and responsive.
• Safe is unresponsive (no power): Replace the internal batteries. If the safe is already locked, use the emergency key or the external emergency battery box to power the safe and then use your password.
• Alarm activates unexpectedly: Check for any physical impact or vibrations that might have triggered the alarm. Ensure no one is attempting to open the safe with incorrect codes.
• Lost emergency keys: Contact customer support for assistance. Note that proof of ownership may be required for key replacement.
