What type of batteries does the safe use and how to replace them?

The safe uses 4 AA batteries (not included). To replace them, unlock the safe, open the door, remove the battery compartment cover, and insert new batteries matching the polarity (+/-). When the red indicator lights up during operation, batteries are low and should be replaced immediately. High-powered alkaline batteries are recommended.

How do I install the safe?

Select a stable, dry, and secure location. If bolting to a wall, ensure the safe rests on a well-supported surface (e.g., floor or shelf) – do not bolt to both floor and wall. Mark mounting holes, drill 50mm deep holes, and secure using the supplied bolts and expansion anchors (for concrete). Tighten bolts securely.

Can I mount the safe to both the floor and wall?

No, do not bolt the safe to both the floor and wall. It should be either floor-mounted or wall-mounted, and if wall-mounted, ensure it rests on a solid surface below.

What does the red indicator light mean?

If the red indicator turns on during operation, the batteries are low and need to be replaced. Replace them promptly to ensure proper functioning.

Clean the safe with a damp cloth. Do not use any liquids or spray cleaners, as they can damage the control panel and internal components. Avoid exposing the panel to water.
