Operating Instructions
Unlocking Methods
Your KAER gun safe offers two primary unlocking methods:
- Digital Password: The electronic keypad allows for a 3-12 digit password.
- Emergency Key: Two emergency keys are provided for manual access, especially useful if the battery is low or the digital password is forgotten.

Setting the Digital Password
Refer to the detailed instructions in the included manual for setting and changing your digital password. It is crucial to choose a strong, memorable password and keep it confidential.
Silent Mode Activation
To activate silent mode and disable keypad sounds, press "11#" on the digital keypad. This feature is useful for discreet access.
