WARNING
No computer disks,
audio-visual media or photo negatives.
WARNING
DO NOT store delicate items directly in your safe.
Sentry ® Fire-Safe ® safes which offer fire protection have a
patented insulation that has a high moisture content. In addition
the Sentry
® Fire-Safe ® advanced safes close airtight to offer
water resistance, which may also cause moisture to accumulate
inside your safe. The desiccant packet included in your safe
during shipment, should be left in your safe. Do not discard it.
It is intended to help absorb moisture which may accumulate
inside your safe.
If you choose to store delicate items such as jewelry with
working parts, watches, stamps, or photos in your safe, we
recommend putting them in an air-tight container, prior to
placing them in the safe for storage.
WARNING
DO NOT store pearls in this safe unit.
In the event of a fire, potential damage to delicate pearls ocurs
at temperatures much lower than the 350°F interior performance
measure which the UL classification performance standard
indicated guarantees. Therefore,
DO NOT
store pearls in your
Sentry Fire-Safe product.
IMPORTANT
Using a mechanical combination lock
NOTE: It may be required to push the bolt button which, in turn,
will throw the bolts to a locked position while the door is open
(Fig. A). Proceed to test your combination.
The handle should
be all the way UP, in the horizontal position before
attempting to dial out safe.
Your combination lock is now
ready to use. You will find your safe’s combination on the sticker
on the front of the owner’s manual. Depending upon the model
you chose, you will have either a 3-number or 4-number
combination.
For safes with combination
and key lock
For added security, some models have a dual locking system
(combination lock plus key lock).
NOTE: The safe will lock if
key lock cylinder is pressed in with or without key.
To unlock and open
Before dialing your combination, simply insert the key in the lock
and turn until the plunger pops out. Remove key.
To close and lock
You can relock the safe in two ways. With the door closed,
depress the key lock with your finger, or spin the combination
dial one full turn. For greatest security, do both. (Make sure the
door handle is in the horizontal position.)
Open unit first, then test
with door open!
(See cover of this manual for your combination.)
