FAQ / Troubleshooting

Q: What do I do if the keypad is flashing RED after installing the 

battery?

 A: Your battery is likely low. Replace the battery with a new 

9v Alkaline battery. We recommend a brand name battery like Duracell 

or Energizer.

Q: Installed a new battery and it is not working.

 A: Test normal 

function by removing the battery and plugging in a micro-USB cable 

to the micro-USB port. If the unit resumes normal function then the 

installed battery is bad.

Q: How do I unlock the case if the battery is dead but the case is 

locked?

 A: Plug a micro-USB cable into the front micro-USB port to 

power the unit so you can unlock and replace the battery.

Q: How come my backup keys CAN NOT lock LifePod?

 A: LifePod’s 

backup keys are designed to unlock in the event of an electrical 

failure, but they can not lock LifePod. 

NOTE: Enabling the Anti-Picking 

feature ON, will prevent the keys from being able to unlock LifePod 

as this feature disables the front keyway altogether. 
Q: Why isn’t the keypad lighting up when programming the master 

code?

 A: LifePod must be awake when programming the unit. Tap the 

lock pad to get all the keys to turn red, and then resume programming.

Q: What do I do when my keypad is unresponsive?

 A: Your battery is 

likely dead. Replace the battery with a new 9v Alkaline battery. We 

recommend a brand name battery like Duracell or Energizer.

Q: What happens if I lose the keys?

 A: First, make sure you registered 

your LifePod

®

 in the event you do lose your keys. Contact us via email 

at [email protected]. Be 

prepared to provide your order 

details and product number to us 

so we can verify ownership.

Q: Can I travel with my LifePod

®

 

through US Customs or TSA 

security at the airport?

 A: 

Yes, LifePod

®

 qualifies as a 

secured lockbox for traveling. If 

transporting firearms, be sure to 

inform your airline agent when 

checking in due to Federal law. Be 

aware, that you may be asked to 

open your LifePod

®

, and person 

having the master code should be 

present in case such a request is 

made by a government authority. 

Q: What happens if the lid is 

not opening?

 A: If you have 

been traveling the atmospheric 

pressure difference could create 

a vacuum holding the lid down. 

Release the pressure by opening 

the key hole cover. 

First wrap the looped end of 

the security cable an object 

of your choice, such as a seat 

bracket under your car seat. 

Pull the adapter piece through 

the loop, and cinch tight.

Place the adapter piece in its 

slot in the LifePod

®

, and close 

the lid.
