2. Access Methods:
The safe offers three primary methods for quick access:
- Biometric Fingerprint:
The high-definition scanner allows for quick and secure access. The safe can store up to 50 unique fingerprints.

3. Administrator Master Password:
The safe system requires verification of an administrator password for all settings changes. There are only two administrators. It is critical to keep this password secure, as there is no way to reset it if forgotten.

5. Emergency Charging Port:
In case the batteries are completely drained, the safe is equipped with a Type-C emergency power port. Connect a Type-C cable (not included) to an external power source (e.g., power bank) to temporarily power the safe for unlocking. This port is for emergency unlock only and not for long-term charging, as continuous charging can affect the safe's service life.
