Operating Instructions

1. Setting the Password

You can set a password between 3 and 8 digits. Only one password can be active at a time. Repeating the setting process will overwrite the existing password.

1. With the safe door open, press and release the SET button located inside the battery compartment.
2. The keypad will illuminate. Enter your desired 3-8 digit password.
3. Press and release the # button to confirm.
4. Test the new password immediately to ensure it was set successfully.

Note:

• If the new password does not unlock the safe, the indicator RED light will flash 5 times, indicating that the new password has not been set successfully.
• The SET button and # button cannot be used as part of the digits in your password.

2. Setting Fingerprints

The biometric sensor can store up to 30 fingerprints. For optimal accuracy, scan your finger from different angles.

1. With the safe door open, press and hold the SET button until the indicator light turns blue.
2. Place your finger on the fingerprint sensor. The light will flash.
3. Lift and place your finger again, slightly adjusting the angle each time. Repeat this process multiple times (typically 3-5 times) until the indicator light turns green, confirming successful registration.
4. Repeat for additional fingerprints, up to 30.

3. Unlocking the Safe

The Grimtron safe offers multiple quick access methods:

• Fingerprint Access: Place your registered finger on the biometric sensor. The safe will unlock in less than 1 second if the fingerprint is recognized.
• Keypad Access: Enter your 3-8 digit password followed by the # button.
• Emergency Key: Slide the Grimtron logo plate to reveal the keyhole. Insert and turn the emergency key.
• External Power (USB-C): If batteries are depleted, connect a Type-C cable to the emergency port and a power source. Once the indicator lights up green, you can use either your password or fingerprint to unlock the safe.
