Safety reference: All codes are to be
securely stored. Do
NOT use personal data
(i.e. Birthdays, telephonenumbers, etc) as a
code.
First you will need to
install the batteries
. To power the
lock, four alkaline AA batteries, equalling voltage 6Vdc (not
included) are required. Non
-
alkaline and rechargeable
batteries are
not
recommended.
To install batteries, turn the electric lock case to the right
and remove (figure H). Insert four new batteries as
indicated, replace the electric lock case and turn to the left
to reassemble.
For added security, some models (SFW082GTC and
SFW205GPC) have dual locking system (electronic lock plus
key lock). You must use both the electronic code and the
key to open the safe.
Now you will have to enter the electronic lock combination.
You will find this combination on the manual which is
supplied with the safe.

fication Number).
You can always open the safe by entering the 5

can not
be deleted. But
if you prefer to employ your own code, you can program
the safe to open to the 5

you wish to give someone else temporary access to the
safe, you can program a 5
-
digit user PIN that can later be
erased.
Only a light touch is needed. A green PROCEED light and
a single beep indicate that the keypad
“
felt
”
your touch.
The lock allows 5 seconds for each key press. If you
pause longer, an error signal will occur (blinking red light
and three beeps), indicating you should start over.
