Installing the Batteries: For this step you will need 4 AA Alkaline batteries (not included). With the lid open
locate the “Battery Compartment” (3 on diagram). Open the compartment cover by releasing the plastic tab.
Remove the battery holder from inside of the "Battery Compartment". The battery holder is attached to the
inside of the vault with electrical wires, please use caution not to pull on the wires. Insert the 4 AA batteries
paying attention to the “+” and “-“signs. The" -" end of the batteries go against the spring inside of the
compartment. If the batteries are installed correctly the vault will beep once and the LED access buttons will
flash blue one time. Place the battery holder back inside of the battery compartment and replace the
compartment cover.
Opening Quick Vault with the Print Reader: The Quick Vault will operate and open with any finger and or
thumb print until it has been programmed with one or more individual prints. To open the vault place any
finger or thumb directly on the Print Reader (6 on diagram). The system will automatically wake when a finger
or thumb is placed on the print reader screen. You will immediately hear one audible beep and the LED Night
Light Logo (7 on diagram) will light up green. The green light means the print has been accepted and the vault
door will automatically open. If you hear three audible beeps and the LED Night Light Logo flashes Red three
times your print has not been accepted. Refer to the Deleting All Registered Prints section below to clear all
registered prints from the vault. The vault will now operate and open with any print until it has been
programmed with one or more individual prints.
NOTE: Your Magnum Quick Vault has been shipped in demonstration mode and will operate and open with
any print. Your vault is not secure for use until one or more individual prints have been programmed. See the
Programming Your Individual Print section below.
360° Access: The semi-conductor finger print reader allows finger and or thumb prints to be read at multiple
angles. Although the print has been registered at a specific angle the smart reader will recognize the print at
multiple angles on the print reader providing faster and more reliable access.
Locking the Quick Vault: To lock the vault close the lid and press firmly, a click will be heard when the door is
securely locked.

Programming Your Individual Print: The Quick Vault will accept up to 100 individual finger and or thumb
prints. To begin programming your vault make sure the vault is in the open position. For this step you will need
to familiarize yourself with the location of the Programming Button (2 on diagram), the Print Reader (6 on

1. Press and release the Programming Button one time. You will hear one audible beep and the LED Night Light
Logo will flash green one time. You will now have 10 seconds to begin the next step. (If you do not begin the

times signaling that your print has not been registered. You may start over by pressing and releasing the
programming button one time.)
2. Once you hear the one audible beep and the LED Night Light Logo flashes green one time place the finger or
thumb you are wishing to program directly onto the Print Reader.
NOTE: For the best result use firm even pressure when placing your finger or thumb on the Print Reader. Too
much pressure or not enough pressure may result in an unstable recording of the print.
Once you have placed you finger or thumb onto the Print Reader you will hear one audible beep and the LED
Night Light Logo will flash green one time. Your new individual print has now been accepted.
If you hear three audible beeps and the LED Night Light Logo flashes Red three times your print has not been
accepted. Please start over with step 1. Of the Programming Your Individual Print section.
Programming Additional Prints: The Magnum Quick Vault will accept up to 100 finger and or thumb prints.
Additional individual prints can be programmed following steps 1 & 2 in the Programming Your Individual Print
section above.
Deleting All Registered Prints: For this step you will need to familiarize yourself with the Programming Button
(2 on diagram) and the LED Night Light Logo (7 on diagram). To delete all registered prints press and hold the
Programming Button. You will hear one audible beep. DO NOT RELEASE THE PROGRAMMING BUTTON, the
registered prints have not been deleted! After a few more seconds the LED Night Light Logo will flash Red and
Green five times. After the fifth flashing light you will hear one audible beep. You may now release the
programming button and all registered prints will be deleted.

referring to the Deleting All Registered Prints section above.
Entering the Incorrect Print: If the incorrect print has been used eight consecutive times the vault will enter a
security lock down mode for five minutes. During this time the LED Night Light Logo will flash green and the
vault will be inoperable. The vault will resume normal operation after five minutes.
Tips for Optimal Print Reading:
1. It is recommended that each user Program multiple finger and or thumb prints.
2. Due to the delicate nature of the female prints it is recommended that females use the thumb and middle
finger for their individual prints.
3. The best results can be obtained by using firm, even pressure when placing your finger on the Print Reader.
Too much pressure or not enough pressure may result in an unstable recording of the fingerprint.
4. In dry weather it may be helpful to lightly moisten the finger or thumb. A small blow of breath directly onto
the print usually works best.
Interior Light: The vault is equipped with a LED interior light (5 on diagram). The light will automatically
illuminate for 20 seconds when the door is opened using the electronic operation. After 20 seconds the light
will automatically turn off.

Turning off the Audible Sound: To silence the audible sound of the electronics turn the “Silent Mode Switch”
(4 on diagram) to the off position.
Low Battery Warning: If the 4 AA batteries go below the required voltage you will hear five short audible
beeps and the LED Night Light Logo will flash red five times.
Loss of Power: If the batteries become critically low or have been removed the Magnum Quick Vault will store
all registered fingerprints until new batteries have been installed.
Mounting Your Magnum Vault to Floor or Wall: The vault that you have purchased is designed to be
permanently mounted to something sturdy (i.e. shelf, wall, floor etc.) for proper safety and security. The vault
is not designed to be a portable carrying case. If the vault is dropped it could possibly cause the mechanism to
be damaged or trigger, causing the safe to open. The vault comes with pre drilled holes and mounting
hardware. It is recommended that the vault be secured with screws or bolts from the inside to prevent
removal. If you have any questions concerning the mounting of the vault please contact our customer service
department at 800.843.3483.
Mounting Your Digital Vault Using the Included Security Cable: A "Security Cable Slot" (9 on diagram) has
been provided on the back left side of the vault. To install the security cable follow the instructions below. The
lid of the vault will need to be in the open position.
1. First, loop the small end of the security cable around a stationary object and back through the large loop of
the cable.
2. With the lid in the open position place the small loop end of the cable inside of the vault. The metal stop
should be resting against the inside of the "Security Cable Slot". Close the lid and press down firmly, a click will
be heard when the lid is securely locked.
