Batteries have been pre-installed at the factory. Using the

factory pre-set Passcode 159#, open the safe as follows:

1. Enter the three digit Factory Passcode 159 on the keypad
followed by the # Symbol. If entered correctly, the green
LED will light and the lock will click.

2. Rotate the small handle on the knob clockwise to the
right, and then pull the door open.

Important:

If no action is taken, the safe will automatically relock in 5 seconds and the
Passcode will need to be re-entered.

entered incorrectly. Re-enter the correct Passcode and
try again.

Security Lockout:

The safe is designed to lock out the keypad function if the wrong Passcode is

entered multiple times.

• After the 3rd error: 20 second lock-out. (waiting period)

• 4-6 errors: 5 minute lock-out.

• 7+ errors: 1 hour lock-out.

If you have forgotten the Passcode, entry can be made using the Emergency

Closing Your Safe

closing.

2. Rotate the knob counterclockwise to the left and the safe will lock.

Programming a

Personal Passcode

Programming Your Personal Passcode

For security reasons, it is very important that you program your

own personal Passcode into the digital lock. The factory Passcode
159# should be changed immediately.

1. Using the factory assigned Passcode (159#), open the safe.

(See page 2).

2. Locate and then press and release the small red memory

button located near the bottom hinge on the inside of the
door. The keypad will beep three times and the amber LED
will light.

3. Select a Passcode using 3 to 9 numbers (no letters) and
enter it on the keypad, followed by the # sign.

4. The keypad will again beep three times and the amber
LED will light. This will complete the programming of your
personal Passcode. Leave the door open and proceed to
Testing Your New Passcode.

Testing Your New Passcode

1. With the door in the open position, rotate the knob counter-

clockwise to the left. In about 3 seconds the safe will
automatically lock.

2. Enter your new personal Passcode onto the keypad followed
by the # key and the digital lock should click open.
Example:

Memory
Button

Amber Light

# Symbol

Important:

Your new Passcode will always consist of your selected number code followed by the #
Key. Once you have programmed your personal Passcode, the pre-set factory code will
no longer open the safe.

3. Rotate the knob clockwise to the right to confirm that your
newly programmed Passcode opens the safe.

4. If the new Passcode does not unlock the safe, then repeat
the steps to program your personal Passcode and retest.

Once programming is completed, write your personal Passcode
down and store it in a safe and secure place away from the safe.

battery cover and push downward to open.

2. Remove the 4 dead batteries and replace with 4 new

Use, Care and Maintenance

Safe Care and Maintenance

When properly maintained, your safe will continue to operate and accurately
read the authorized Passcode for many years. In order to ensure optimum
performance of your safe, please follow these simple precautions:

Replace Batteries – For best results and performance, we recommend that the
batteries be replaced at least once a year or sooner depending on amount of
use.

Clean Hands - Never attempt to operate the digital keypad if your hands have
excessive dirt, debris or liquids on them.

Clean Safe – To clean the surface of your safe, it is recommended that you
use a mild cleaner (e.g., window cleaner) to avoid scratching or discoloring
the surface. Always wipe dry and NEVER use abrasive cleansers on the safe or
digital keypad.

For future reference, store this Operation and Installation Guide in a secure area
away from the safe. DO NOT DISCARD!

Customer Support

Your Safe’s Unique Identification Numbers

When contacting Customer Service, you should be prepared to supply some
important information that specifically identifies your safe. This information is
extremely important to assuring prompt and accurate customer assistance.

It is strongly recommended that you identify and record the following information
in the “Safe Identification Record” form located on the inside back cover of this
manual:

Model Number

Serial Number

Key Number

Locating Model and Serial Numbers

Most Honeywell safes include a small metallic silver or gray tag affixed to one
of the surfaces. This tag is usually located on the front or right side of the safe.
This tag contains the Serial Number, and on selected models a similar tag is
attached containing the Model Number. If a Model Number tag is not attached
to the safe, then it can be located on the front or side panel of the box that the
safe was packaged in. Write this number down for future reference.

Locating Key Number

The Key Number is engraved on the top portion of the key and on the lock
cylinder. This number should also be written down and retained for future
reference.

Important: DO NOT REMOVE TAGS!

In case your safe becomes inoperable or you lose your keys, these identification
numbers will be needed to correct the problem. It is recommended that the
number tags remain in place on the safe. If removal is necessary, then they
should be attached to the inside back cover of the Operation and Installation
Guide. Store in a safe and secure place for future reference.
