1. Safety Information

- Placement: Ensure the safe is placed on a stable, level surface. For enhanced security, consider anchoring the safe to a wall or floor as described in the installation section.

3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the safe from its packaging. Inspect for any damage. Retain all packaging materials until you are satisfied with the product.

- Step 3: Position the safe and align its holes with the drilled holes. Insert the anchor screws (provided) and tighten them securely.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Setting Your Personal Passcode
Follow the instructions below to set your personal passcode for the electronic lock:
- With the safe door open, press the internal reset button (usually a small red button located on the inside of the door).
- The keypad will beep, and an indicator light will illuminate, signaling it's ready for input.
- Enter your desired passcode (typically 3-8 digits) on the keypad.
- Press the '#' or 'OK' button to confirm. The light will flash, indicating successful programming.
- Test your new passcode with the door open before closing it.
4.2 Unlocking the Safe
Your Bukumo Home Safe offers three methods for unlocking:
- Method 1: Personal Passcode + Knob
Enter your programmed personal passcode on the keypad, then press '#' or 'OK'. Within 5 seconds, turn the knob clockwise to open the safe door. - Method 2: Emergency Key + Knob
Insert one of the emergency keys into the keyhole (usually concealed behind a cover on the keypad). Turn the key, then turn the knob clockwise to open the safe door. This method bypasses the electronic lock. - Method 3: External Battery Box + Passcode + Knob (Emergency Power)
If the internal batteries are depleted, connect the external battery box to the emergency power port on the keypad. Enter your personal passcode, then press '#' or 'OK'. Turn the knob clockwise to open the safe door.

4.3 Anti-Theft Alert Alarm
The safe is equipped with a dual alarm system to deter unauthorized access:
- If an incorrect passcode is entered 3 times consecutively, the system will lock for 20 seconds.
- If an incorrect passcode is entered 6 times consecutively, the system will lock for 5 minutes and activate an audible alarm.
To enter silent mode, input '663' on the keypad.

4.4 Using the Removable Shelves and LED Light
The safe includes three removable shelves, allowing you to customize the interior space to fit items of various sizes. Simply slide the shelves into or out of their designated slots.
The built-in LED light provides illumination inside the safe, making it easier to access your valuables in low-light conditions. The light typically activates when the door is opened.
