- Loosen the screws on the side panels of the safe body.
- Gently slide the inner and outer sections of the safe body to achieve the desired depth. Ensure the sections are aligned.
- Tighten the screws firmly to secure the safe at the chosen depth.
- Install the expandable shelves as needed, fitting them into the appropriate slots for your chosen depth.

Initial Setup
Battery Installation
The electronic lock requires batteries (typically 4x AA, not included) for operation. Locate the battery compartment on the inside of the safe door, usually behind a cover on the electronic lock mechanism. Install batteries according to the polarity markings.
Setting Your Personal Code
Your safe comes with a factory default code (e.g., "159"). It is crucial to change this immediately to a personal code of your choice. The electronic lock supports an 8-digit code.
- With the safe door open, locate the red or green reset button on the inside of the door, typically near the battery compartment or on the lock mechanism.
- Press the reset button. You should hear a beep and/or see an indicator light.
- On the exterior keypad, enter your desired 8-digit personal code.
- Press the "#" or "Lock" button to confirm. You should hear a confirmation beep.
- Test your new code multiple times with the door open before closing it to ensure it has been set correctly.
If the code is not accepted, repeat the steps. If issues persist, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Mechanical Override Key Usage
