3.2 Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment on the inside of the safe door. It may be covered by a velcro flap.
2. Open the battery compartment cover, typically requiring a small screwdriver.
3. Insert 4 AAA batteries (not included) according to the polarity markings (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover.
5. Test the keypad or fingerprint reader to ensure power is supplied.

Note: A 9V battery port is available on the front panel for emergency power if internal batteries are depleted. This is for temporary power only and does not install inside the safe.

3.3 Initial Access and Programming

Upon first use, access the safe using the backup keys. The keyhole is located under the VoleStay logo plate on the front panel. Gently pry off the logo plate to reveal the keyhole.

1. Open with Backup Key: Insert one of the backup keys into the keyhole and turn it while rotating the handle to open the safe door.
2. Set Administrator Code: With the door open, locate the reset button inside the safe (usually on the back of the door or near the hinge). Press the reset button. The indicator light on the keypad will illuminate. Enter a new 4-8 digit PIN code on the keypad, then press '#' to confirm. Re-enter the same PIN code and press '#' again. The indicator light will confirm successful programming. This is your administrator code and cannot be changed once set.
3. Enroll Fingerprints:
   • Press the reset button inside the safe. The indicator light will illuminate.
   • Place your finger on the fingerprint reader. Lift and repeat 5-8 times, rotating your finger slightly each time, until the indicator light confirms successful enrollment.
   • Repeat for additional fingerprints (up to 20).
4. Set User Code (Optional): After setting the administrator code, you can set additional user codes. Press the reset button, then enter the administrator code, press '#', then enter a new 4-8 digit user code, press '#', re-enter the user code, and press '#'.

Important: Keep backup keys in a secure location outside the safe.

3.4 Mounting the Safe

The safe includes pre-drilled holes and hardware for floor or wall mounting to enhance security.

3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
4. Position the safe and secure it using the provided mounting hardware (bolts and anchors).
5. Ensure the safe is firmly attached and cannot be easily removed.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Opening the Safe

• Using Fingerprint: Place your enrolled finger on the fingerprint reader. If recognized, the safe will unlock, and the door will spring open slightly.
• Using PIN Code: Enter your programmed PIN code on the keypad, then press '#'. If correct, the safe will unlock, and the door will spring open slightly.
• Using Backup Key: If batteries are dead or electronic access fails, gently pry off the VoleStay logo plate to reveal the keyhole. Insert a backup key and turn it while rotating the handle to open.

Upon opening, an internal LED light will illuminate for approximately 30 seconds to assist visibility.

Periodically inspect the safe for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the door hinges and locking bolts operate smoothly. If any issues are detected, contact customer support.

6. Troubleshooting

• Safe does not open with fingerprint:
  • Ensure your finger is clean and dry.
  • Try re-enrolling your fingerprint (refer to Section 3.3).
  • Ensure batteries are not depleted. Use the 9V emergency power port if necessary.
• Safe does not open with PIN code:
  • Verify the PIN code entered is correct.
  • Ensure batteries are not depleted. Use the 9V emergency power port if necessary.
  • If the keypad is unresponsive, try tapping it multiple times before entering the code (as noted in some user experiences).
• Low Battery Indicator: Replace the 4 AAA batteries immediately. Use the 9V emergency power port if the safe is inaccessible due to dead batteries.
• Alarm sounds unexpectedly: The anti-theft alarm activates after 3 consecutive incorrect code entries. Wait for the alarm to reset or use a correct access method.
• Safe door does not close properly: Check for any obstructions inside the safe or around the door frame. Ensure the safe is on a level surface.
