1. GunVault Safe Features and Functions
Product Description and Features
GunVault safes are manufactured from 16-gauge steel with pry-resistant doors and may be used
to store a variety of items out of reach of children and other unauthorized persons.
Standard Features Include:
• Spring-loaded door for quick access to contents
• Corrosion resistant powder coat wrinkle finish
• No-Eyes Keypad
• Back-up key lock access with two keys
• Interior courtesy light
• Low battery warning
• “Knock-outs” for installation of optional Security Cable
• Power connection jack for external AC/DC power supply
2.Getting Started
Securing Your Keys
REMOVE YOUR KEYS AND SECURE THEM!
DO NOT LOCK THEM IN THE SAFE!
Think carefully about storing your keys. If the key for a
GunVault safe is on your key chain, an unauthorized person
might gain access to it. Never hide or leave GunVault keys where
children could gain access to them. If you have a bank safe
deposit box, one key could be kept there in case you lose one.
IMPORTANT: We recommend that you use ONLY Duracell 9Volt batteries. One (1)
9Volt battery is required. NEVER attempt to use a rechargeable battery – they will not
work!
Locating the Battery Holder
With your palm up, reach inside the GunVault
safe and find the far end of the ceiling foam.
Pinch the far end, and carefully pull it part of the
way out of the unit (like the tongue of a shoe).
DO NOT TEAR IT LOOSE!
The 9volt battery holder is located inside on the
roof attached to the back of the lock body.
- 5 -
Installing the 9volt Battery
Position the safe with the door facing you, keypad upward.
• Connect the power cable to the 9volt battery. You will hear a beep audio signal,
confirming that power is connected.
• Do not pinch the power cable.
• Press the 9volt into position.
• Press the foam ceiling back into your unit to cover the battery.
Enrolling Your Personal Finger Print
S1 Button
• Place the index finger on the Fingerprint
Reader, then press S1 button (located on
middle finger position) to activate the
GunVault, hold the finger on the reader until
the Green light is on (it may need 1-2 seconds).
Fingerprint Reader
Now the first fingerprint is enrolled. (Up to
30 users can be enrolled)
Notice: The 1st and 2nd enrolled fingerprints
function as administrators which allow the
enrollment of additional users.
Close the Door and Practice
SECURE YOUR KEYS!
DO NOT LOCK THEM INSIDE THE SAFE!
Practice opening the door with the enrolled finger.
• Place index finger on the Fingerprint Reader.
• Press S1 button to activate the module.
• The Red light is on, hold the finger on the reader until the Green light is on (it may need
about 1-2 seconds).
• The door will open; the Green light blinks for 6 seconds.
- 6 -
Enroll Additional Fingerprints
• Open the GunVault by administrator’s fingerprint. Immediately after the door opens press
and hold S1 button until 2 beeps sound.
• Place the new finger on the Fingerprint Reader, then press S1 button to activate the module,
hold the finger on the reader until the Green light is on (it may need about 1-2 seconds).
• The new fingerprint is now enrolled.
Delete All of the Fingerprint Templates
• Press and hold S2-Delete All Button (located inside the unit on the top back portion of the
metal lock housing) and then press and release the S1 to activate the GunVault.
• Continue to hold the S2 button until Green
and Red lights stop flashing, and then
release the S2 button.
S2 Button
• Now ALL of the
fingerprints are deleted.
3. Mounting the Safe
The Vault can be mounted in almost any direction. Think carefully before you begin to drill
holes; make sure you could easily reach the keypad, but protect the safe from children.
IMPORTANT: Do not mount the Vault
with the door facing down! The contents
could fall out when the door is opened!
Think about your own unique mounting
requirements. You may wish to use
washers, lag bolts, or other mounting
devices for reasons of your own.
Compare the Mounting Template to the safe.
Notice the mounting holes in the bottom of
the safe. There are two “key-slot” holes,
and four round holes.
- 7 -
a) Using the template provided, drill starter holes with drill bits appropriate for your installation.
Drive screws only into the two key-slot holes. Drive the screws in until just enough room is
left between the head of the screw and the mounting surface to permit you to slide the
Vault’s key slots over the screws.
b) Slide the Vault key-slots on over the screws.
c) Now lift the foam padding in the bottom of the Vault and insert screws into remaining holes
as desired, to retain the safe in place. A minimum of three (3) screws must be used to mount
the safe.
d) Tighten all screws and smooth the foam lining. Your Vault is now securely attached to the
mounting surface!
4. Installation of Optional Security Cable
“Knock-outs” are provided on both sides to permit attachment of the Security Cable. If the
Security Cable is to be installed, use a punch or nail set and a hammer to remove the knock-out.
Before inserting cable mount, be sure to remove the little metal knock-out tab from your safe.
Do not allow this small metal piece to remain inside your safe.
Hint: A pair of needle-nosed pliers will be useful for installing the hitch pin.
a) First, loop the end of the security cable through the eye and around a stationary object.
b) Then, insert the threaded mount through the hole in the safe.
c) Hold the mount in place while you slide the star washer over the threaded end inside the safe.
d) Spin on the nut and tighten “finger tight.”
e) Insert the Hitch Pin through the hole in the threaded mount, to ensure that the nut cannot
come off.
5. Internal Courtesy Light
When an enrolled fingerprint access code has been used to open the safe, the interior light will
shine for five seconds, allowing a clear view of the interior.
6. DC Power Jack and External AC/DC Power Supply
Warning: Never attempt to operate the safe with external power alone. Batteries MUST be
installed before and during operation with the external power supply, in order to avoid
interruption of power and loss of access codes.
The AC/DC power supply specified is NOT a battery charger; it is an external power supply to
be used only when batteries are installed.
.
- 8 -
Warning: Never attempt to plug in a battery charger of any kind. Fire or explosion of
batteries could result. Never use rechargeable batteries of any kind in a GunVault safe. Their
power characteristics are not compatible with the safe.
7. Maintenance
Low Battery Warning Indicator
When the user opens the lock by enrolled fingerprint, if the Red light flashes and at the same
time the beep sounds 3 times, it indicates low battery. Please replace the battery as soon as
possible.
Battery Replacement
Warning: Replace the batteries once a year regardless of whether or not the low battery
indication is observed.
IMPORTANT: We recommend that you use ONLY Duracell 9Volt batteries. One (1)
9Volt battery is required. NEVER attempt to use a rechargeable battery – they will not
work!
Lubrication
It’s a good idea to lightly coat the door hinge spring and door latch-loop with quality oil at least
once a year. Never spray anything into the latch mechanism.
Removable Shelf
The MultiVault (large model) has a removable shelf, which can be easily pulled out to allow for
storage of larger items. If the shelf is removed, it should be stored carefully to avoid damage or
loss. To reinstall, simply slide the shelf back into the shelf guide slots. The beveled edge faces
front.
