Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Vault does not power on. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. | Replace batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Door does not open after entering PIN. | Incorrect PIN entered; batteries are low. | Re-enter PIN carefully. If issue persists, replace batteries. If PIN is forgotten, refer to "Forgot PIN" solution below. |
| Forgot PIN code. | PIN code has been forgotten. | Remove batteries for a few seconds and then reinsert them. This will reset the PIN to the default (e.g., "0000"). You will then need to set a new PIN. |
