Installing the Base Plate

 The first step when opening your new Gunbox SK-1 is to install the base plate. To begin, place a blanket or towel

on a table and carefully set the Gunbox SK-1 with the bottom hanging slightly off the edge.

 Open the Gunbox SK-1 and keep it propped open. It is best to put a pillow or folded up blanket on the inside of the

Gunbox SK-1 to prop it open and to prevent damaging your Gunbox SK-1.

Gunbox SK-1 Initial Set-up

4

 Remove the nuts on the bottom of the Gunbox SK-1, (these should only be hand tight). You may need to use the

large Hex Key provided to hold the bolts on the inside from turning while removing the nuts.

 The base plate should be tightly wrapped and secured in the bottom of the shipping box. Unwrap the base plate.

 With the help of another person, carefully lift the baseplate to the bottom of the Gunbox SK-1. Align the base

plate so that the rubber bumpers are away from the Gunbox SK-1 body and the holes in the base plate are aligned
with the bolts coming from the bottom of the Gunbox SK-1. Make sure that the hole in the middle of the base
plate lines up with the bolt coming from the back of the Gunbox SK-1.

 Using the large Hex Key provided, screw the 2 large bolts into the base plate and tighten (Note: if the bolts are not

tightened down properly, the Gunbox SK-1 may wobble from side to side). Stand the Gunbox SK-1 onto the base
plate.

 Remove the plastic inserts around the latch screws so that it can latch correctly.

Opening the SK-1 with RFiD

 Press the front white emblem on the Gunbox SK-1, and a blue LED will begin to flash.

 With the blue LED flashing, place one of the preprogrammed RFiD tags that came with the Gunbox SK-1 up close to

the front white emblem and the Gunbox SK-1 should open.

Closing the SK-1

 The Gunbox SK-1 has a dual latching system for added security. To be completely secure, both latches need to

lock. In order to consistently close the Gunbox SK-1, it is important that it is closed from the middle of the Gunbox
SK-1 using 2 hands as shown below.

6

 Press firmly on the Gunbox SK-1 until you feel both top and bottom latches close. Warning: If the Gunbox

SK-1 is latched with only the top or bottom latch, it will not be as secure.

Downloading the App

 There is a free App provided for configuration of your Gunbox SK-1 with a version for both iOS and Android

phones. To download the App, go to the iTunes Store or the Google Play store, depending on your device, search
for SafeTech (no spaces) and download the SafeTech App.

 When you first open the App, you will need to accept all permissions (if asked), accept the End-User Agreement

and choose a name before you can connect to the Gunbox SK-1.

App Install and Use

Connecting with Bluetooth

 To connect the Gunbox SK-1 to the App, press “Add Device” on the App and then press the front white emblem on

the Gunbox SK-1. The blue LED will begin to flash on the Gunbox SK-1 and then turn solid when the phone
connects to the Gunbox SK-1. Within 15 seconds, a dialog box will pop up asking for a password. The default
password for the Gunbox SK-1 is 12345678. It is recommended that you change the password immediately.
(Warning: the password is only stored on the Gunbox SK-1 and on the App. If the App is removed or replaced, the
password will be deleted from your phone and must be reentered. If you forget your password, the SafeTech
support team will not be able to recover it for you. To recover your password, you will need to send in your
Gunbox SK-1 to be reprogrammed. This service is not covered under warranty). If the App gets stuck verifying the
password, refer to the next section about pairing the Gunbox SK-1 to your phone.

Pairing the Gunbox SK-1 to a Phone

 For many phones the pairing step is completed by the phone automatically. If you are having trouble getting the

App to verify your password the first time you are using the App, it may because the Gunbox SK-1 is not properly
paired to your phone. To pair manually, open the App, press the front white emblem on the Gunbox SK-1 and
press “Add Device” on the App. Once the password dialog box pops up, pull down your phones Notification screen
by swiping from the top of the screen down. Look for a pairing request in the notifications. To pair, you will need
to select the notification and then press “Pair.” You should now be able to type in the password and continue to
the App Unlock screen.
