Operating Instructions

The Treasure Box features a combination lock and a hidden compartment activated by side keys.

Opening the Main Compartment (Combination Lock)

The combination lock uses a three-digit code. The default code is typically provided in your instruction manual or on the bottom of the box. To open:

1. First Digit: Turn the dial counter-clockwise for two full circles, then align the first digit of your code with the indicator.
2. Second Digit: Turn the dial clockwise for one full circle, then align the second digit of your code with the indicator.
3. Third Digit: Turn the dial counter-clockwise directly to the third digit of your code.
4. The box should now be unlocked and the lid can be opened.

Accessing the Hidden Compartment (Side Keys)

After opening the main lid, you will find two keyholes on the sides of the inner structure. Insert the provided wooden keys into these slots and turn them to reveal a hidden compartment.

Closing and Locking the Box

To close the box, simply lower the lid and ensure it clicks into place. The combination lock will automatically reset, securing the box. To re-open, repeat the combination sequence.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface of the puzzle. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the wood.
• Lubrication: If the gears or moving parts become stiff, apply a small amount of the provided wax (or a similar non-liquid lubricant) to the contact points.
• Storage: Store the assembled treasure box in a stable environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high humidity, to prevent warping or fading of the wood.

Troubleshooting

• Pieces Not Fitting: If pieces are too tight, gently sand the edges with the provided sandpaper until they fit snugly without excessive force. If too loose, a small amount of wood glue (not included) can be used, but this is generally not required for this model.
• Mechanism Sticking: Ensure all moving parts, especially gears and the combination dial, are adequately lubricated with wax. Check for any misaligned pieces that might be causing friction.
• Box Not Opening with Code: Double-check that you are following the combination sequence precisely, including the full circles and direction of turns. Ensure the dial is aligned correctly with the indicator for each digit.
• Broken Pieces: In case of a broken piece, contact ROBOTIME customer support for assistance.
