Setup
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove the safe from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage. Retain packaging materials for potential future transport or returns.
2. Battery Installation
The digital keypad requires 4 AA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment located on the inside of the safe door or behind the keypad cover. Insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.
3. Mounting the Safe
For maximum security, it is highly recommended to secure the safe to a floor or wall using the provided expansion bolts. Choose a discreet and secure location.
- Floor Mounting: Position the safe in the desired location. Mark the drilling points through the pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the safe. Drill pilot holes into the floor, insert the expansion bolts, and secure the safe.
- Wall Mounting: Position the safe against a sturdy wall. Mark the drilling points through the pre-drilled holes in the back of the safe. Drill pilot holes, insert the expansion bolts, and secure the safe. Ensure the wall material can support the weight of the safe and its contents.
