Operating Instructions
Unlocking Methods
Your Riflevault safe offers three primary methods for access:
- Password + Knob (Daily Use): Enter your programmed digital password on the backlit keypad. Once the correct password is entered, turn the knob to open the safe.
- Key + Knob (Emergency Override): In case you forget your password or the battery runs out, insert one of the emergency keys into the keyhole, turn it, and then turn the knob to open the safe.
- USB Type-C + Password + Knob (Battery Depleted): If the battery is completely drained, connect a USB Type-C power source to the port on the keypad. This will temporarily power the keypad, allowing you to enter your password and turn the knob to open the safe.
Important: Always keep the emergency keys and USB Type-C cable in a secure location outside the safe to ensure access in all situations.

Dual Alarm System
The safe is equipped with a dual alarm system for enhanced security:
- Incorrect Password Alarm: If three consecutive incorrect passwords are entered, the alarm will activate.
