The safe can store up to 30 unique fingerprints.
- With the safe door open, locate the 'SET' or 'Enroll' button inside the safe, usually near the lock mechanism. Press it.
- Place your finger firmly on the fingerprint scanner. The safe will beep and the indicator light will flash.

7.3 Opening with Fingerprint

- If recognized, the safe will unlock (indicated by a beep and/or green light).

To silence the alarm, use a registered fingerprint to open the safe or use the emergency key.
