Setup

Setting Your Combination Lock

Your Dalmbox safe comes with a factory default combination of "000". Follow these steps to set your personal combination:

1. Ensure the safe is open and the factory code "000" is set in the center of the dial. Turn the knob clockwise to open the lock box.
2. Locate the small lever inside the safe, usually near the combination mechanism. Move this lever from position "A" to position "B" (typically to the right). Important: Do not move the lever directly from "A" to "B" without ensuring the safe is open and on the correct combination, as this may cause the mechanism to jam.
3. Set your new desired 3-digit password by rotating the number wheels. Ensure all three numbers are perfectly aligned in the center of the dial.
4. Return the lever to its original position "A" (typically to the left). Your new password is now set. If you wish to change the code again in the future, repeat these steps.

Installing the Fixed Steel Cable

The included steel cable provides an additional layer of security by allowing you to tether the safe to a fixed object.

• Locate the notch or slot on the side of the safe.
• Loop the heavy-duty steel cable around a secure, immovable object (e.g., a car seat frame, a desk leg).
• Insert one end of the cable into the designated notch on the safe.
• Close the safe, ensuring the cable is firmly secured within the safe's locking mechanism. This will prevent the safe from being easily removed from its tethered location.

2. Turn the knob clockwise to release the latch and open the safe.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the safe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Interior Care: The foam inserts can be removed for cleaning if necessary. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back into the safe.
• Lock Mechanism: The combination lock is designed for durability and generally requires no special maintenance. Avoid forcing the dial or knob.
• Storage: Store the safe in a dry environment to prevent rust, especially if it has been exposed to moisture.

Troubleshooting

• Safe will not open: Ensure the correct combination is precisely aligned in the center of the dial. If you recently changed the combination, double-check that you are using the new code. If the lever was moved to position "B" without the correct combination, the mechanism may be jammed. Refer to the combination setting instructions.
• Cable not securing: Ensure the cable end is fully inserted into the designated notch before closing the safe. The safe must be closed and locked for the cable to be secured.
• Stiff dial/knob: If the combination dial or knob feels stiff, ensure there is no debris obstructing the mechanism. Do not apply excessive force.
