Battery: Charging

Your Vaultek® safe is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and comes with a charging kit which includes an AC power adapter and a micro-USB cable. Safe and micro-USB cable can be used with all international power adapters. Under normal usage, a fully charged battery can last at least 3 months in Low Power Mode.

Due to powerful features of this safe it is recommended to keep the safe plugged in.

  1. To recharge the safe, plug the micro-USB cable into the micro-USB receiving jack located on the back side of the safe (Figure G) and connect to a standard USB port or wall outlet using the AC power adapter. Approximate recharge time is 2.5 hours.
  2. The LED next to the receiving jack on the back of the safe (Figure G) will glow RED indicating charging and GREEN indicating charged.

Battery Maintenance: Charging Tips!

See the FAQ section for additional information about the battery.

Battery: Maintenance

Battery Maintenance: Testing the Battery Power

To check the battery level, press and hold the '5' key on the keypad for 3 seconds. The keys will glow GREEN or RED to indicate the battery level:

Battery Maintenance: Low Battery

If the first key blinks RED several times and you hear several rapid beeps when opening the safe, your battery level is critically low and your safe needs to be charged immediately.

Battery Maintenance: Soft Rest Tip

In the event the battery dies or a soft reset is performed (battery removal and installation) the safe will restore default settings for interior light, sound, and Alert of Manual Unlock feature. These settings will need to be readjusted, however the master code and fingerprint scanner will not be affected.

IMPORTANT! Do not use a battery which has physical damage such as scratches and dents on the housing. Replace the battery every 3 years.

IMPORTANT! Use a 3.7V 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a flat top. A minimum 2000 mAh capacity is required, however 2200 mAh or higher can be used to increase operation time.

IMPORTANT! The adapter used to charge the battery should output 5V/2000mA or above when using micro-USB cable.

Master Code Programming

WARNING! First time users should change the default code as soon as possible to prevent unauthorized access.

Code Requirements Tips!

  1. Open the safe. Note, keys are included. With the safe open, press and hold the '1' key and "PROGRAM" button together (3 seconds) until all keys turn RED and let go.
  2. Enter your NEW master code.
  3. IMMEDIATELY Press and hold the '1' key and "PROGRAM" button together a second time (3 seconds) until all keys turn RED and let go.
  4. Enter your NEW master code a second time.
  5. IMMEDIATELY Press and hold the '1' key and "PROGRAM" button together a third time (3 seconds) until the safe beeps and all keys turn GREEN and let go. This tone confirms that the code has been reset.

Troubleshooting! If you make a mistake and the new code will not work, simply start over with step 1.

Security Sleep Mode: For your security, the safe will time out and sleep for 4 minutes if 6 incorrect entries are made.

Biometric Scanner: Overview + Tips!

Biometrics are methods of authenticating the identity of a person based on physical or behavioral characteristics. Biometric fingerprint authentication refers to technology that measures and analyzes human physical characteristics for identification and authentication purposes. The smart align biometric system guides your finger placement for consistent and accurate results.

Everyone has their own unique fingerprints, and what makes them unique is the pattern of ridges, valleys, and minutiae points that comprise an individual print. Vaultek® and their leading engineering group has developed proprietary technology to read and match fingerprints with unmatched speed and accuracy. That means that only authorized users have access to your valuables. The safe is capable of storing fingerprint data for up to 20 unique authorized users. A user consists of 5 scans of the same finger during registration. Once a user's fingerprint data is stored in the safe and encrypted, it cannot be copied or stolen.

Helpful Programming Tips!

Troubleshooting! If you are having difficulty with your print, program the same fingerprint 4 or 5 times. You have 20 slots available for programming and you can also try your thumb as it has more surface area to read.

Biometric Scanner: Programming Admin Prints 1 and 2

The 1st and 2nd fingerprints will be recognized as administrative fingerprints and will be used to authorize additional users. To program additional users please refer to the next page.

  1. Open the safe. Program the 1st fingerprint by pressing and holding the '2' key and "PROGRAM" button together (3 seconds) (Figure L). The fingerprint LED (Figure M) will turn solid RED and the '1' key on the keypad will start blinking RED.
  2. Using the helpful programming tips provided on page 09 place your finger on the fingerprint scanner for the first of 5 scans. When the safe beeps and the '1' key lights up GREEN remove your finger.
  3. Place finger again over the scanner at a slightly different angle (see Figure J on page 09) until the safe beeps and the '2' key lights up GREEN and lift.
  4. You will repeat this process until all keys (1-5) are solid GREEN. This completes the enrollment for the first admin.

Tip! Repeat steps 1 through 4 to add the 2nd administrative fingerprint. To program prints (3-20) refer to page 11.

Troubleshooting! If after step 1 all the keys are blinking RED and the fingerprint LED turns solid YELLOW then refer to programming additional prints 3 to 20 on the next page.

Troubleshooting! If you are having difficulty with your print, program the same fingerprint 4 or 5 times. You have 20 slots available for programming and you can also try your thumb as it has more surface area to read.

Biometric Scanner: Programming Additional Prints 3 to 20

After the first two Admin fingerprints have been locked in, you can add additional users or fingerprints, up to 20 unique users in total. This is very helpful in the event the fingerprint scanner is having a hard time reading your initial fingerprints, or if you wish to grant other users authorized access to your safe. Any additional users programmed require authorization from one of the two Admin fingerprints.

  1. Open the safe. Program additional fingerprints by pressing and holding the '2' key and "PROGRAM" button together (3 seconds) (Figure L on page 10). When all keys (1-5) are blinking RED scan one of the administrative fingerprints.
  2. Place one of the first two programmed administrative fingerprints on the scanner and remove when the safe beeps and the fingerprint LED blinks GREEN. When the '1' key starts blinking RED you can enroll a NEW fingerprint.
  3. Using the helpful programming tips provided on page 09 place the NEW finger on the scanner. When the safe beeps and the '1' key lights up GREEN remove your finger.
  4. Place finger again over the scanner at a slightly different angle until the safe beeps and the '2' key lights up GREEN and lift. You will repeat this process until all keys (1-5) are solid GREEN.

Tip! Repeat steps 1 through 4 to add additional fingerprints.

Troubleshooting! If you are having difficulty with your print, program the same fingerprint 4 or 5 times. You have 20 slots available for programming and you can also try your thumb as it has more surface area to read.

Smart Align Biometric Scanner: Deleting Fingerprints

Individual fingerprints can not be deleted from the keypad on the safe. Following this procedure will erase all of the fingerprints including both administrative fingerprints. If you wish to delete individual fingerprints, refer to the Vaultek® Wi-Fi app. This procedure will not affect the keypad master code.

  1. Press and hold keys '3' and "PROGRAM" button together until all the keys light up RED and let go.
  2. Enter your master code on the keypad. If the code is correct, all the keys will blink GREEN and safe will beep indicating deletion of all the fingerprints.

Smart Align Biometric Scanner: Low Success Rate

If you are having difficulty with your print, program the same fingerprint 4 or 5 times. You have 20 slots available for programming and you can also try your thumb as it has more surface area to read.

  1. Let's delete the fingerprints and start over. Refer to the deleting fingerprints section above.
  2. Now let's try reprogramming your fingerprint using the helpful tips on page 09.
  3. Open the safe. Program the 1st fingerprint by pressing and holding the '2' key and "PROGRAM" button together (3 seconds) (Figure L on page 10). The fingerprint LED (Figure M on page 10) will turn solid RED and the '1' key on the keypad will start blinking RED.
  4. Place your finger on the fingerprint scanner for the 1st of five scans until the safe beeps and the '2' key lights up GREEN and lift.
  5. Rotate your finger position and place your finger on the scanner again. You will repeat this process until all scans (1-5) are programmed.
  6. Close the safe and test to see if the safe will opens using your fingerprint.

Nano Key

Your Vaultek® safe supports quick access with the included Nano Key. Take caution when using this feature and be responsible. Security can be compromised in the event it is lost or stolen. Only pair Nano Key after thoroughly understanding the inherent risks.

WARNING anyone including children can access the safe via Nano Key.

WARNING On Demand entry mode can open a safe in another room and/or out of sight. To reduce risk of an unattended open safe we recommend using Progressive entry mode.

ALWAYS unpair Nano Key in the event it is lost or stolen.

IMPORTANT! Nano Key should be mounted less than 6 feet away from the safe for proper operation. Use in long range is not recommended as it may cause accidental opens.

Nano Key: Pairing

Important! Be sure to follow ALL steps for proper function:

  1. Press and hold the '5' key then "PROGRAM" button together (3 seconds) until the keypad flashes RED.
  2. Aim Nano Key towards the safe and press the center button. If the keypad flashes GREEN then the Nano Key has paired successfully. If the keypad flashes RED then simply start over with step 1.
  3. Set Entry Mode: After pairing, Nano Key will be immediately active to test functionality, but then deactivate. Nano Key settings will need to be set to either On Demand or Progressive in order for Nano Key to open your safe. See next page for more information.

Troubleshooting! If Nano Key works for a moment then stops working after pairing then you need to start over with step 1. After pairing you must assign an entry mode to finalize the pairing sequence.

Nano Key: Entry Modes

After pairing you can toggle between access modes from the keypad, Wi-Fi® smartphone app, or the online Web Dashboard. To toggle modes from the safe's keypad press and hold keys '2' and '5' then "PROGRAM" button together until the keypad indicates each mode as below.

WARNING! On Demand entry mode can open a safe in another room and/or out of sight. To reduce risk of an unattended open safe we recommend using Progressive entry mode.

Important! On Demand entry mode requires significant power usage and can greatly reduce operation time. We suggest setting the Nano Key to Progressive entry mode to conserve battery, unless the safe is constantly plugged into a power outlet.

Nano Key: Unpairing

Tip! Disabling the Nano Key function from the Wi-Fi® app, Web Dashboard, or safe's keypad will NOT delete a paired key from the safe's memory. In the event a Nano Key is lost or stolen, you can delete the lost Nano Key from the safe's memory by using a couple different methods:

Continue on next page for more information about Nano Key.

Nano Key: Multiple Safe Management

Multiple Nano Keys can not pair with the same safe. It is recommended to pair one Nano Key per safe.

Nano Key: Battery Replacement

The pre-installed battery will last approximately two years before requiring replacement. When needed follow the steps below to complete replacement.

  1. Access the battery compartment by twisting the bottom battery cover counterclockwise, then remove the cover.
  2. Remove the old battery by firmly lifting up on its sides to release it from its clips. A small screwdriver can help pry the battery out if used carefully.
  3. Insert a new model CR2032 battery positive side (+) facing up. Be sure and insert the battery edge under the brass clip first (Figure N), then press firmly into place (Figure N). Replace the battery cover and twist clockwise to tighten in place.

Tip! The battery will not install correctly without first being placed under the brass clip. Damage to the remote may occur.

Securing Your Safe

Your Vaultek® safe can be secured via the included mounting plate and hardware to a vertical surface.

Securing Your Safe: Multiple Plate Configurations

Your Vaultek® safe includes a mounting plate with multiple configurations for mounting. A four-point configuration can be used for standard vertical surface mounting (1.1), two-point mounting for installing in a vertical wall stud (1.2), and additional base mounts (1.3).

The mounting plate also features standard VESA 75mm and 100mm fitment for use with other adapter plates (1.4). Hardware for VESA fitment not included.

Securing Your Safe: Mounting Bracket Installation

Tip! Your safe can install on the mounting plate from the left or right side. When installing the plate, be sure the bottom is parallel to the floor (Figure Q) so the safe opens horizontally. Angling the plate or aiming the safe downwards can affect the rail mechanics and prevent safe from opening correctly.

  1. Locate mounting surface, making sure the safe will have enough clearance to open properly prior to installing.
  2. Hold mounting plate in place and use a pencil to mark desired hole locations. Drill 7/32" inch pilot holes.
  3. Using hardware provided fasten mounting plate in place and tighten firmly.

Securing Your Safe: Mounting Safe

  1. Locate the 4 receiving slots located on the safe sides, and the 4 tabs located on the mounting plate.
  2. Fully insert the tabs on the mounting plate into the receiving slots on the safe (Figure O/P), and press the safe downwards to lock in place (Figure Q).

Securing Your Safe: Removing Safe from Mounting Plate

  1. Open the safe. Locate the release clip on the same side as the attached mounting plate.
  2. Use your thumb or finger to pull the release clip back, and lift the safe off the mount at the same time (see Figure R/S). The safe will not remove without pulling the release clip back.

Securing Your Safe: Aftermarket Configuration

Your mounting plate features additional pre-drilled holes for the addition of aftermarket brackets or modifications (see Figure 1.4 on page 19) using VESA standard fitment. This is great if the environment requires the safe to be configured in a certain manner beyond the standard mounting options available.
