guide

The Ivation solid steel, biometric safe can store up to 32 different 
fingerprints, and can also open via your own pin code or the emergency 
key. The safe has pre-drilled holes and fastening hardware so that it 
can be bolted to the floor for extra security.

Set Up

Remove the emergency key from the inside of the safe before setting up. 
Keep key in a safe and accessible place.

Batteries

To replace batteries, open safe door and remove battery cover. Use only 
four AA alkaline batteries. Note the polarity of the battery when inserting. 

Low Battery Indicator

If the red indicator light flashes or stays on, this indicates that the 
batteries are low. If the safe will not open, use the supplied 
emergency key.

and different fingers.

 safe 

door.
