IMPORTANT: If you exert too much force on the handle,
the handle will move without moving the bolts. When this
happens, you will hear a ’click.’ DO NOT be alarmed.

over powered by force. Simply exert force in the opposite
direction (lifting up) until the handle clicks back
into place.

be set each time you lock your safe to activate the
audible alert. In the event your alarm is not activated

go into delay mode for 2 minutes. No alarm will go off
when moved, jarred or with attempted forced entry.
