ENTERING THE WRONG CODE
If while entering your pass code you press an incorrect key,
push the “CLEAR” button one time and it will erase the
error. You can then re-enter the correct code. If you enter
an incorrect pass code followed by “LOCK”, the safe will
not open and the LED panel will display ”E-COdE”. You
should now re-enter the correct pass code to open the safe.
SECURE LOCKOUT PERIOD
Accidently entering a wrong code is normal and nothing to
worry about. However, for security reasons, if the wrong
code is entered 3 times in a row, then the safe will
automatically begin a five-minute lockout period. During this
time, the LED will display “HOLD05” and the keypad will
become disabled. Entry can only be made during the
lockout by using the Override Access Key. Once the lockout
period has expired, the safe can be opened using the
correct pass code or if necessary, a new code
programmed.
OVERRIDE ACCESS KEY
This safe includes a set of Override Access Keys. In the event your safe will not open because of
weak batteries or a problem with the current pass code, then it can be opened with the override
key. The override lock is located below the keypad. Remove the lock cover and insert the
special key to open. You can now replace the batteries or re-program your code. IMPORTANT:
Override keys should always be kept in a secure location away from the safe and never placed in
the safe.
REPLACING BATTERIES
The current condition of the batteries can be checked at any time by pressing the “LOCK” button
one time. The LED panel will display one of the following messages:
Battery power is good
Battery power is low and all batteries should be replaced
immediately
Replacing the batteries is outlined in Step 1 –INSTALL BATTERIES. Remember to always use
Alkaline or Lithium replacement batteries and avoid using non-alkaline or rechargeable batteries. If
the safe is going to be unused for an extended time period, then the batteries should first be
removed. Properly discard used batteries.
NOTE: Your pass code will remain programmed into memory during battery replacement or when
batteries become weak and inoperable. It will not be erased or changed until you choose to do so.
