5. Operating Instructions

  2. Press the "#" button to confirm and save the password. The safe will indicate successful setting.

5.3 Unlocking the Safe

To unlock the safe, enter the tenant password you have set. The safe will display "OPEN" or "OPENED" and the door will unlock.

6. Operating Modes

The Grimtron safe offers different operating modes to suit various needs:

6.1 Hotel Mode

In Hotel Mode, the safe is designed for temporary users (tenants). Each time the safe is opened with a tenant password, that password is automatically invalidated, requiring the user to set a new password for the next use. This ensures privacy and security for each new guest.

6.2 Personal Mode

Personal Mode allows a single, persistent user password. This mode is suitable for long-term personal use where the same password is used repeatedly. Refer to the user manual version 2.0 for detailed instructions on switching between Hotel and Personal modes.

6.3 Administrator Mode

The safe supports an Administrator Function Code, which allows for advanced settings such as setting a hotel administrator password that prevents modification by tenants, and setting the year, month, day, and time. The audit-trail function, which queries opening and closing records, is also accessible via an optional handheld CEU (not included) through the Administrator Device Connection Port.
