Battery Operation

Your safe uses a 3.7V 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion with a at

top. A minimum 2000 mAh capacity is required, however 2200
mAh or higher can be used to increase operation time.

Battery Installation

To get started, insert one of your backup keys into the keyhole
at the front of the safe (see Figure A). Push key in and rotate the
key 90 degrees clockwise to open the safe.

Remove the interior padding. Locate the battery compartment
door on the inside of the safe directly behind the '4' key on the
keypad (see Figure B).

Remove the battery cover by pressing down on the tab near the
top of the cover.

Insert the 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion battery (included in
accessory box) into the battery compartment. Note that your
Vaultek™ safe automatically detects the polarity of the battery
and can be installed in either direction.

When the battery is inserted you will hear a short welcome tone
and the keypad will light up.

Once you hear the tone and see the keypad light up, replace the
battery cover. You are now ready to program your safe.

Continue on next page for more information about the battery.

Charging the Battery

Your Vaultek™ safe is powered by a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery and comes with a charging kit
which includes an AC power adapter (suitable for 120
volt power outlets) and a micro-USB cable. Safe and
micro-USB cable can be used with all international
power adapters.

Under normal usage, a fully charged battery can
last at least 3 months. To recharge the safe, plug the
micro-USB cable into the micro-USB receiving jack
located on the lower right side of the safe (Figure C)
and connect to a standard USB port or wall outlet using
the AC power adapter. Approximate recharge time is

2.5 hours. During recharging, the white LEDs above the
micro-USB jack (Figure C) indicate the battery capacity
as below:

4 lights glow: Fully recharged
3 lights glow, 1 light blinks: 80%~100%
2 lights glow, 1 light blinks: 60%~80%
1 light glows, 1 light blinks: 40%~60%
1 light blinks, less than 20%

The charging kit can also function as an external power
supply, which means you can open your safe when the
battery is depleted.

Low Battery

If the rst LED on the status bar blinks RED several

times and you hear several rapid beeps when opening
the safe, your battery level is critically low and your
safe needs to be charged immediately.

TIP

In the event the battery dies or a soft reset is performed (battery removal and installation) the safe will restore
default settings for DMT, interior light, sound, and the remote key fob. These settings will need to be readjusted,

however ngerprint IDs and master code will not be aected.

With the safe open, press and hold the '1' key then the
"PROGRAM" button together (3 seconds)(Figure D) until all
status bar LEDs turn RED and let go.

Press and hold the '1' key then the "PROGRAM" button together
again (3 seconds) until all status bar LEDs turn RED and let go.

Press and hold the '1' key then the "PROGRAM" button together
a third time (3 seconds) until the safe beeps and all status bar

LEDs turn GREEN and let go. This tone conrms that the master

code has been reset.

Continue on next page for more information about the ngerprint scanner.

Open the safe. Program 1st ngerprint by pressing and

holding the '2' key then the "PROGRAM" button together

Using the helpful programming tips provided on page 09

programming tips listed on page 09 or check our tutorials

Open the safe. Program additional ngerprints by pressing and holding the '2' then "PROGRAM" button together

(3 seconds)(Figure H on page 10). The entire status bar will blink RED prompting you to scan one of the

administrative ngerprints.

Using the helpful programming tips provided on page 09 place the NEW nger on the scanner. When the safe
beeps and the rst LED in the status lights up GREEN remove your nger.

Press and hold the '3' key then the "PROGRAM" button together until all the status bar LEDs light up RED and
let go.

Remote Key Fob Operation

Continue on next page for more information about the remote key fob.

Your Vaultek™ safe supports quick access with the included remote key fob. Take caution when using this

feature and be responsible. Security can be compromised in the event the key fob is lost or stolen. Only pair
the key fob after thoroughly understanding the inherent risks.

IMPORTANT

Before you can pair the key fob to your safe connect the pre-installed
battery by removing the pull tab from the side of the key fob (Figure J).

Remote Key Fob Pairing

Note: As a security measure to prevent accidental access, you must
press both sides of the fob simultaneously to activate referred to as
a dual press. This dual press is required for the pairing process as well
as anytime the key fob is used to open the safe. Following this
procedure will pair the key fob to your safe.

Press and hold the '5' key then "PROGRAM" button together (3 seconds)
until all status bar LEDs blink GREEN.

Aim the fob toward the safe and press both sides of the fob together
(Figure K). If all the lights on the status bar glow GREEN, the fob is
paired successfully; if all lights on the status bar blink RED, the fob
failed to pair. In this case, simply start over with step one.

IMPORTANT

The key fob functions in close proximity to safe and has a short range of approximately 5 feet (Figure K).

After pairing the key fob will be immediately active to test functionality and then turn o. Key fob will need to be
set to either On Demand or Progressive mode see page 14 for more information.

Toggle Key Fob Access Modes

After pairing you can toggle between access modes from the keypad or Bluetooth app. To toggle from the keypad
press and hold the '6' key then "PROGRAM" button together. The status bar will communicate as directed below.

OFF - Status Bar LEDs Turn Solid RED

Progressive Entry Mode - Status Bar LEDs Blink GREEN

Safe goes into sleep mode and will require you to wake up the safe before using key fob. You can wake up the
safe by pressing any key or brushing your hand across the keypad of the safe (backlit keys will turn RED).

On Demand Entry Mode - Status Bar LEDs Solid GREEN

This mode grants immediate access to your safe without having to wake it up.

Warning: On Demand Entry Mode can open a safe in another room and/or out of sight. To reduce risk of

!

an unattended open safe we recommend using Progressive Entry Mode.

On Demand Entry Mode requires signicant power usage and can greatly reduce operation time. We

suggest setting the key fob to Progressive Entry Mode to conserve battery.

To Unpair Remote Key Fob

NOTE: Disabling the remote key fob function from the app or keypad will NOT delete a paired fob from the safe's
memory. In the event a key fob is lost or stolen, you can delete the lost fob from the safe's memory by using a

couple dierent methods:

Press and hold '5' key then "PROGRAM" button together (3 seconds) until all status bar LEDs blink GREEN. This is

A

the same sequence used when initially pairing. After the status bar LEDs blink GREEN for 6 seconds the safe will
delete a paired key fob from memory.

B

Anytime a new key fob is paired with the safe, the previous fob will be erased from the safe's memory.

before requiring replacement. When needed follow the steps
below to complete replacement.

Carefully separate the remote body with a small coin or
your hand starting near the top of the remote at the
designated coin slot.

Remove old battery and install a new model CR2032
battery (Figure L).

Vaultek™ App

The Vaultek™ app lets you get the most out of your Vaultek™ safe. Using the app gives you access and control
over features that are not possible using the keypad interface alone.

Get the App

Download and install the Vaultek™ app for free from the Google Play Store, or Apple Store.

IMPORTANT

You must be within Bluetooth range and connected to your Vaultek™ safe before any of the features
will function.

The pattern lock is an added layer of protection to safeguard your safe and prevent unauthorized access in the

event your phone is misplaced. To create a pattern lock, simply drag your nger along the screen to connect at

least 4 circles. This unique pattern will be required when opening the app.

Pair with Your Vaultek™ Safe

Be sure to pair your safe to your smartphone as soon as possible to sync the systems. Once paired you will gain
access to the safes settings to adjust, toggle, and track any changes made to the safe. Note, any changes made

prior to the safe connecting to the app will reect the time stamp from the safes default clock, and may not

match your phones clock.
