5. Setup and Installation

5.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the safe from its packaging. Inspect for any damage. Retain packaging materials for future transport if needed.

The electronic keypad requires 4 AA batteries (not included). Locate the battery compartment on the back of the keypad or inside the safe door. Insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity.

2. Mark the positions of the pre-drilled holes on the wall or floor.
3. Drill pilot holes using an appropriate drill bit for your wall/floor material.
4. Align the safe with the drilled holes and insert the provided expansion screws.
5. Tighten the screws securely to firmly anchor the safe.
