BEFORE YOU BEGIN
•WARNING: Hold security cable during retraction into Safe-Keeper to prevent uncontrolled motion. Uncon-
trolled motion of the cable may cause personal injury.
•WARNING: Loud alarm (110 db), do not hold the Safe-Keeper close to ears when activated.
•CAUTION: You must fully depress the Green Trigger Button while opening or closing the battery compartment.
•CAUTION: To maintain security of your Safe-Keeper, rotate the dials on the lock to random numbers after every
activation or when not in use.

4. ACTIVATING MOTION SENSOR ALARM
The Safe-Keeper provides security protection for your valuable display equipment or other any other portable valuable any time or
any place. Whether mounted or portable, you can choose from three security levels to meet your needs. Security levels can be reset
only in diminishing levels (1 to 3). The LED indicator on the Safe-Keeper indicates the level of security you have chosen.
A. Deactivation
Deactivate the Safe-Keeper at any time by preforming the following:
1. Set the Number Dials to your combination.
NOTE: Cable connection will not be possible unless the Number Dials are set to the correct combination.
2. Press the black Cable Release button to unhook Cable Head.
B. Set Level 1 Security (Default Setting)
Level 1 security is the default setting. If your equipment is located in a heavy traffic area, or there is substantial structural move-
ment, Level 1 Security may be too sensitive.
Two seconds of continuous motion (e.g. movement, jarring, or vibration) and/or cable-tampering causes the
Safe-Keeper to sound. If two seconds of continuous motion is detected, the Safe-Keeper chirps a warning sound and the LED indi-
cator (see Figure 6) shines red for three seconds. Next, the alarm sounds for 45 seconds or until deactivated. After 45 seconds, the
alarm automatically resets and it will sound again repeatedly at 45-second intervals until it is deactivated or the battery is
exhausted.
If the cable tampering occurs, the Safe-Keeper will sound continuously until it is deactivated or the battery is exhausted.
At this level, the LED indicator flashes red twice per second. Select Level 1 Security as follows:
1. Set the dials to your combination.
2. If necessary, press Green Trigger button, retract/extend cable,
and tether.
3. Push the Cable Head into the Locking Hole until it clicks in
place.
4. Make sure you hear one beep to confirm Security Level 1 is
set. The LED indicator will flash red 8 times in 8 seconds,
allowing the Safe-Keeper to be set at Level 2 or Level 3 secu-
rity during this time. If the security level is not reset within 8
seconds, the LED indicator will flash red at twice per second
continually, confirming the Safe-Keeper is armed at Level 1.

C. Set Level 2 Security (Recommended for Fixed Installations)
Eight seconds of continuous motion (e.g. movement, jarring, or vibration) and/or cable-tampering causes the Safe-Keeper to
sound. If eight seconds of continuous motion is detected, the Safe-Keeper chirps a warning sound and the LED indicator shines red
for three seconds. Next, the alarm sounds for 45 seconds or until deactivated. After 45 seconds, the alarm automatically resets and
it will sound again repeatedly at 45-second intervals until it is deactivated or the battery is exhausted.
If the cable is tampered with, the Safe-Keeper will sound continuously until it is deactivated or the battery is exhausted.
At this level, the LED indicator flashes green twice per second. Select Level 2 Security as follows:
1. Perform steps 1 through 4 of Set Level 1 Security.
2. Press the Activation button on the front of your
Safe-Keeper once to reset to Level 2 Security.
3. Make sure you hear two beeps to confirm Security Level 2 is
set. The LED indicator will flash red 8 times in 8 seconds,
allowing the Safe-Keeper to be set at Level 3 security during
this time. If the security level is not reset within 8 seconds, the
LED indicator will flash green at twice per second continually,
confirming the Safe-Keeper is armed at Level 2.
D. Set Level 3 Security (with motion detection deactivated) Cable Continuity Only
If the cable is cut, the Safe-Keeper will sound continuously until it is deactivated or the battery is exhausted.
