Warning: Never attempt to plug in a battery charger of any kind. Fire or explosion of
batteries could result. Never use rechargeable batteries of any kind in a GunVault
safe. Their power characteristics are not compatible with the safe.
The AC/DC power supply specified is NOT a battery charger; it is an external power
supply to be used only when batteries are installed.
11. Maintenance
Low Battery Warning Indicator
The Low Battery Warning Indicator on the Standard Models is seven red flashes and
seven soft beeps when the valid access code is entered. For Deluxe models the Low
Battery Indicator is an audio alert which sounds once per hour in the form of two loud
beeps.
Battery Replacement
Warning: Replace the batteries once a year regardless of whether or not the low
battery indication is observed.
Always check carefully to be sure that all of your batteries are facing in the correct
direction (i.e. positive (+) end to positive symbol, negative (-) end to negative symbol).
One battery facing the wrong way will lower the power output of your battery tray,
potentially causing unreliable operation.
After replacing the batteries, or when power has been disconnected for more than a few
seconds, the unit will revert to the factory-default code (one, two, three, four) and you
must re-program your personal access code(s).
Lubrication
It’s a good idea to lightly coat the door hinge spring and door latch-loop with quality oil
at least once a year. Never spray anything into the latch mechanism.
Removable Shelf (MultiVault only)
The MultiVault (large model) has a removable shelf, which can be easily pulled out to
allow for storage of larger items. If the shelf is removed, it should be stored carefully to
avoid damage or loss. To reinstall, simply slide the shelf back into the shelf guide slots.
The beveled edge faces front.
