Setup and Assembly
Your KAER gun safe requires assembly. Follow these steps carefully to ensure proper construction and stability. It is recommended to have assistance during assembly due to the weight of the components.

4. Securing the Safe
For maximum security, the safe must be anchored to a wall. Use the pre-drilled holes on the back and bottom of the safe. The package includes expansion bolts for concrete/cinderblock walls. For stud walls, appropriate fasteners must be sourced separately. Ensure the safe is level and securely fastened to prevent tipping.

Operating Instructions
Your KAER gun safe offers multiple secure access methods:
1. Electronic Combination Lock
The safe is equipped with a stable and error-free numeric keypad. To operate, ensure 4 AA batteries (not included) are installed in the battery compartment located behind the keypad. The initial password is typically "1234". Follow the instructions in the user manual to set your personal combination.

2. Fingerprint Access
For quick access, the safe features a biometric fingerprint scanner. Follow the user manual to register your fingerprints. Up to 28 fingerprints can be stored. This allows for rapid entry in emergency situations.
3. Emergency Key Access
In case of battery failure or forgotten codes, two emergency keys are provided. These keys can manually override the electronic lock. Store these keys in a secure location away from the safe.
4. Emergency Power Box
If the internal batteries are discharged and the emergency keys are not accessible, an external emergency power box can be used to power the electronic lock temporarily, allowing you to open the safe with your code or fingerprint.
