Delay mode
This kit contains:
2 lag screws, 2 washers and 2 masonry anchors (Fig. A)
Tools needed for floor mounting:
Drill, wrench, 11 mm drill bit, for wood anchoring 7,2 mm drill
bit, for masonry anchoring 9,5 mm masonry drill bit.
Instructions:
1. Tip the safe onto its right side (door hinges horizontal with
the floor).
2. Unlock the safe and open the door.
3. Look on the bottom of the safe for two indentations in

(Fig. C).
6. Move the safe aside to clear both marked spots for drilling.
7. Drill into the floor:
A. For wood: using the 7,2 mm bit, drill a hole 64 mm
deep in each marked spot (Fig. D).
B. For masonry: using the 9,5 mm bit, drill a hole 64
mm deep in each marked spot (Fig.
D). Install a masonry anchor in each hole.
8. Replace the safe in the desired position, with the holes in
the safe aligned with those in the floor.
9. Securing the safe:
A. For wood: pass each lag screw through a washer,
then through the safe and into a hle.
Tighten with the wrench (Fig. E).
B. For masonry: pass each lag screw through a washer,
then through the safe and into a masonry
anchor. Tighten with the wrench (Fig. F).
Always test your new electronic lock combination several

Battery recplacement
Instructions for floor mounting
When old batteries are removed for replacement, your
user PIN will be voided; only electronic lock combination
and user code will work. To reestablish your user PIN, fol-
low the directions above under
“
Programming a 5
-
digit
user PIN
”.
Note:
If your safe does not appear to be working, please
always check your batteries first.
The lock automatically enters a two
-
minute delay mode
after an invalid code has been entered three consecutive
times. In this mode, the lock can not be activated and any
key entry will generate an error signal.
Signals
Your electronic lock safe communicates by means of several
audio/visual signals.
Red (error) LED + three beeps indicates one of the
following:
1. You have pressed Program key out of sequence
2. You have entered an invalid code or user pin
3. You have let 5 seconds or more elapse between key entries
Green (proceed) LED + single beep occurs:
After entering each digit of electronic lock combination, user
code, or user PIN
2. After pressing Clear key
3. After pressing Program key
Green LED only:
1. Comes on after you enter a valid code/user PIN and remains
lit during the 4
-
second period in which the safe can be opened
2. Comes on in the Program user code mode after you enter
the electronic lock combination and remains lit until you have
finished entering a 5
-
digit user code
3. Comes on in the Program user PIN mode after you have en-
tered your user code and remains on until you have entered a 5
-
digit user PIN
Yellow LED:
Indicates
“
low battery
”
and will typically not turn on until bat-
tery has been in use two years or longer.
Your electronic lock automatically performs a low battery test
during each lock use.
If a
“
low battery
”
condition is detected the yellow LED will co-
me on and remain on during each subsequent lock operation.
(The lock will continue to function in a low battery state, until
battery failure.) The yellow LED will turn off only after the low
batteries are replaced. (Note: If the new batteries are installed
in less than 60 seconds the yellow LED may come on and stay
on during the first lock operation before it returns to off.)
Note:
It is recommended you replace the batteries after two
years, or the the yellow LED remains on.
