3.1 Battery Installation

The safe requires 4 AA batteries (not included) for operation. Ensure the safe is unlocked before proceeding.

1. Open the safe door.
2. Locate the battery compartment on the inside of the door. It may be covered by a fabric pouch; gently remove it if present.
3. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the battery cover.
4. Insert 4 AA alkaline or carbon batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
5. Replace the battery cover and secure it with the screw.

Note:

• Please use alkaline or carbon batteries. Using other types of batteries may render the safe inoperable.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• The safe cannot be powered by rechargeable batteries. Do not attempt to charge any batteries inside the safe.

3.2 Setting Fingerprints

You can store up to 30 unique fingerprints for quick access.

1. With the safe door open, locate the "SET" button inside the battery compartment.
2. Press and release the "SET" button. The keypad will illuminate.
3. Place your finger on the biometric scanner and scan it 3 times. The indicator light will flash green upon successful scan.
4. Test the newly registered fingerprint by placing it on the scanner. The safe should unlock.

Note:

• If the new fingerprint does not unlock the safe, the indicator RED light will flash 5 times, indicating that the fingerprint has not been set successfully. Repeat the process.
• The process of repeating the fingerprint setup allows you to store additional fingerprints, up to the thirtieth fingerprint.
• If you are having difficulty with your print, set the same fingerprint 4 or 5 times. You have 30 slots available for setting and you can also try your thumb as it has more surface area to read.
