2. Setup

2.1 Unboxing and Initial Inspection

Carefully remove the safe from its packaging. Inspect the safe for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure all components are present: the safe unit, emergency keys, and this instruction manual.

2.2 Battery Installation

The safe requires 4 x 1.5V AA Alkaline batteries (not included) to power the digital keypad. Locate the battery compartment on the inside of the safe door. Insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2.3 Setting Your Personal Code

1. With the safe door open, press the red reset button located on the inside of the door, near the hinge. You will hear a beep.
2. Within 5 seconds, enter your desired 3-8 digit personal code on the keypad.
3. Press the "#" or "E" button to confirm. You will hear a confirmation beep.
4. Test your new code with the door open to ensure it works correctly before closing the safe.

2.4 Mounting the Safe

For enhanced security, the AEGIS safe can be mounted to a wall or floor. It features pre-drilled holes on the bottom and back. Mounting hardware is typically included. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the safe's weight and contents.

Figure 2: Step-by-step diagram for securely mounting the safe to a wall or floor using the pre-drilled holes.

Mounting Steps:

1. Choose a suitable location for mounting.
2. Mark the drilling points through the pre-drilled holes on the safe's back or bottom onto the wall/floor.
3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
4. Align the safe with the drilled holes and secure it using the provided mounting bolts. Ensure the safe is firmly attached and cannot be easily removed.

3. Operating the Safe

3.1 Opening the Safe

There are three primary methods to open your AEGIS safe:

• Using the Digital Code: Enter your personal 3-8 digit code, then press "#" or "E". The green light will illuminate, and you will hear a beep. Within 5 seconds, turn the knob clockwise to open the door.
• Using the Emergency Key: Insert the emergency key into the keyhole on the keypad panel. Turn the key clockwise while simultaneously turning the knob clockwise to open the door. This method bypasses the digital keypad.
• Emergency Power with Digital Code: If the batteries are dead and you don't have the emergency key, connect a USB-C cable (not included) to the emergency power port on the keypad. This will temporarily power the keypad. Enter your digital code, then press "#" or "E", and turn the knob clockwise to open the door.

When the yellow indicator light illuminates during operation, it signifies low battery power. Replace all 4 AA batteries promptly to ensure continued functionality. Always use new, high-quality alkaline batteries.

4.2 Cleaning

Clean the exterior of the safe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Do not spray liquids directly onto the keypad or lock mechanism.
