5.2 Programming Fingerprints and Codes

Refer to the detailed instructions in the separate user manual provided with the electronic lock for programming fingerprints and digital codes. This process typically involves entering a master code, then following prompts to register new fingerprints or set new numerical codes.

5.3 Dual Alarm System and Mute Function

  • Dual Alarm System: The safe activates an alarm after 3 consecutive incorrect code entries or 5 consecutive incorrect fingerprint attempts. A vibration alarm is also triggered if the safe is moved violently. The alarm sound reaches up to 70 decibels.
  • Mute Function: To operate the safe silently, activate the mute function. This prevents the safe from making sounds during opening or alarm triggers. Consult the electronic lock manual for specific instructions on enabling/disabling the mute function.
