4. Setup and Installation

4.1. Battery Installation

The electronic lock requires batteries for operation. Although the product specifications state batteries are not required, electronic locks typically use them. Please locate the battery compartment, usually on the inside of the safe door or behind the keypad. Insert the correct type and number of batteries (typically 4x AA, not included) according to the polarity markings. Close the battery compartment securely.

4.2. Wall Mounting

The key safe is designed for wall mounting to ensure maximum security. Choose a suitable location that is discreet and offers a solid mounting surface (e.g., a concrete or brick wall).

1. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the key safe against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the positions of the four mounting holes on the back of the safe.
2. Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type, drill holes at the marked positions. Ensure the depth is sufficient for the wall plugs.
3. Insert Wall Plugs: Insert the provided wall plugs into the drilled holes.
4. Mount the Safe: Align the key safe's mounting holes with the wall plugs. Insert the fixing screws through the safe's holes and into the wall plugs. Tighten the screws firmly to secure the safe to the wall. Do not overtighten.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Setting the User Code

The key safe comes with a factory default code (e.g., '159' or '1234'). It is crucial to change this immediately after battery installation.

1. With the door open, press the red or green reset button located on the inside of the door, near the hinge. A beep will sound, and the yellow indicator light on the keypad will illuminate.
2. Within 5 seconds, enter your new 3 to 8 digit PIN code on the keypad.
3. Confirm the new code by pressing the 'A' or 'B' button (depending on model). A confirmation beep will sound, and the yellow light will turn off.
4. Test the new code with the door open before closing it.

5.2. Opening the Safe with the User Code

1. Enter your 3 to 8 digit PIN code on the keypad.
2. Press the 'A' or 'B' button to confirm.
3. If the code is correct, a green light will illuminate, and you will hear a beep. Turn the knob clockwise (or handle, if present) within 5 seconds to open the door.
4. If an incorrect code is entered, a red light will flash, and you will hear a series of beeps. After three incorrect attempts, the system may lock for a short period.
