Operating Instructions

1. Opening the Lock

To open the lock, enter your 1-8 digit code followed by the '#' key. The factory default code is typically 159. If the code is correct, the lock will emit a sound (if sound is enabled) and the solenoid will retract, allowing you to open the safe door.

  2. Pressing a designated programming button (often on the PCB) or a specific key sequence on the keypad.
  3. Entering the new 1-8 digit code.
  4. Confirming the new code.
  5. Always test the new code multiple times with the safe door open before closing it.

4. Low Battery Warning

The lock features a low battery warning. When the battery is low, the keypad may emit a series of beeps or a specific light indicator will flash after entering a code. Replace the battery promptly when this warning occurs.

5. Lockout Feature

If 3 incorrect codes are entered consecutively, the lock will enter a lockout mode for 20 seconds, preventing further attempts. Wait for the lockout period to expire before trying again.
