OPENING THE DOOR USING YOUR PIN NUMBER
Each time a button is pressed, a beep will be heard and the Orange LED will flash.
• Input the PIN you set.
• Press "*" or "#" button. The green LED will flash.
• Turn the knob clockwise to pull open the door.
While the door is open familiarise yourself with the door opening procedure and leave the door open
until you are satisfied that you fully understand the opening and closing method. You can re-set the
PIN at any time by following the above procedure.
If the Red and Green LED light simultaneously when the correct PIN is entered, then
the batteries MUST be replaced immediately before closing the door as this indicates
that the batteries are too low.
If an incorrect PIN is entered, the safe will not open. Three warning beeps will be heard,
the Orange LED will flash and the Green LED won't light. Entering an incorrect PIN
three consecutive times will freeze the locking mechanism and keypad for 20 seconds,
during which time you will not be able to access the safe. After three more incorrect PIN
attempts, the locking mechanism and keypad will freeze for 5 minutes during which
time you will not be able to access the safe.
