4. Wall Preparation and Mounting

Use a stud finder to locate two adjacent wall studs. Mark the precise outline for the safe's opening on the drywall, ensuring it matches the safe's external dimensions (16.5" W x 22" H). Carefully cut the opening. Insert the safe into the prepared opening. Utilize the provided anchor bolts to secure the safe firmly to the wall studs through the pre-drilled holes on the sides of the safe. Confirm the safe is level before fully tightening the bolts.

5. Anti-Theft Alarm Feature

If an incorrect passcode is entered 3 times consecutively, a built-in alarm will sound for 20 seconds. If an incorrect code is entered 3 more times (total of 6 incorrect attempts), the alarm will sound for an extended period of 5 minutes, alerting you to attempted unauthorized access.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement: The safe requires 4 AA batteries. Battery life is approximately 4-5 months with daily usage. Replace batteries when the low battery indicator light illuminates or if the keypad becomes unresponsive.
Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the safe and keypad with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or electronic components.
Keyhole Maintenance: Keep the manual override keyhole free of dust and debris. Do not lubricate the keyhole unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
Door Alignment: If the door becomes difficult to open or close, check the alignment of the door and hinges. Minor adjustments may be possible using a Philips screwdriver and an Allen key on the hinge pins, if applicable.
