Remove the nuts on the bottom of the Gunbox SK-1, (these should only be hand tight). You may need to use the
large Hex Key provided to hold the bolts on the inside from turning while removing the nuts.
The base plate should be tightly wrapped and secured in the bottom of the shipping box. Unwrap the base plate.
With the help of another person, carefully lift the baseplate to the bottom of the Gunbox SK-1. Align the base
plate so that the rubber bumpers are away from the Gunbox SK-1 body and the holes in the base plate are aligned
with the bolts coming from the bottom of the Gunbox SK-1. Make sure that the hole in the middle of the base
plate lines up with the bolt coming from the back of the Gunbox SK-1.
Using the large Hex Key provided, screw the 2 large bolts into the base plate and tighten (Note: if the bolts are not
tightened down properly, the Gunbox SK-1 may wobble from side to side). Stand the Gunbox SK-1 onto the base
plate.

Closing the SK-1
The Gunbox SK-1 has a dual latching system for added security. To be completely secure, both latches need to
lock. In order to consistently close the Gunbox SK-1, it is important that it is closed from the middle of the Gunbox
SK-1 using 2 hands as shown below.

6
Press firmly on the Gunbox SK-1 until you feel both top and bottom latches close. Warning: If the Gunbox
SK-1 is latched with only the top or bottom latch, it will not be as secure.

phones. To download the App, go to the iTunes Store or the Google Play store, depending on your device, search
for SafeTech (no spaces) and download the SafeTech App.

RFID Tag Management screen and then press “Add New Tag.” The Gunbox SK-1 will begin to beep twice
repeatedly with a brief pause between each pair of beeps, the blue LED on the Gunbox SK-1 will begin to flash and
the App will display the message, “Place a New RFID Tag on the Lock to Add it.” Within 5 seconds, place an RFID
Tag/Card directly over the white emblem to record that tag. You will hear 6 rapid beeps and the blue LED will flash
rapidly to indicate that the card has been recorded to the Gunbox SK-1. The RFID tag will also appear on the RFID

date and/or a specific time of day, enter an 8-digit code in the bottom section and enable Dates and/or Time to set
a specific date and/or time that the Share Code will be authorized to open the Gunbox SK-1. To access the Gunbox
SK-1 using a Share Code, a temporary user will need to download the SafeTech App and connect to the Gunbox SK-

blink red with no sound. The Audible Alarm will cause the front white emblem to blink red with a loud beeping
sound. To enable this feature, press “Alarm” from the setting screen. On the Alarm screen, you can select Silent
Alarm or Audible Alarm. You will also need to set the Delay Time. The Delay Time is the number of minutes it will
take for the alarm to set AFTER you have closed the lid. If the Gunbox SK-1 is tampered with during the Delay Time,
the alarm will NOT be set and you will need to WAIT the allotted Delay Time in which you SET before it will arm. Be
sure to press “Save” to set the alarm. Once armed, any tampering or movement of the Gunbox SK-1 will
IMMEDIATELY set off the alarm.

15
Fingerprint
IMPORTANT- The fingerprint reader takes a picture of your fingerprint during programming. As fingerprints
change over time and because of weather changes throughout the year, we recommend you reprogram your
fingerprint every 4 months. This will ensure that your Gunbox SK-1 reads your fingerprint properly each time.
Fingerprints can be programmed to the Gunbox SK-1 from the App. To do this, press “Fingerprint” from the
Settings screen. On the Fingerprint screen you can see how many Fingerprints are stored, Learn New Fingerprints,
Remove All Fingerprints, or adjust the fingerprint reader settings with Sure Set to help it read your fingerprint
more easily. (Note: adjusting the fingerprint reader to read your fingerprints more easily will also slightly increase
the risk that the fingerprint will identify an unauthorized fingerprint as an authorized one, giving unintended
access to the Gunbox SK-1). To learn a new fingerprint, press “Learn new Fingerprint.” The Gunbox SK-1 will start
to beep twice in a row with a brief pause in between each set of beeps and the fingerprint reader will glow blue on
the Gunbox SK-1. Place your finger over the blue Fingerprint Reader LED and the Gunbox SK-1 will rapidly beep 3
times when it has read. Lift your finger and repeat 2 more times. When recorded, the Gunbox SK-1 will make 6
rapid beeps, and the App will indicate that your fingerprint has been stored to the Gunbox SK-1. (Note: since the
fingerprint reader uses a small camera to take a picture of your fingerprint. You will need to hold your finger
steady for 1-3 seconds while the fingerprint reader captures the image).

Using the Bluetooth Speakers
The Bluetooth speakers function separately from the App. You will not be able to access any speaker functionality
from the App. The Bluetooth speakers will also not function if the Gunbox SK-1 is not plugged in, as they require
too much power for the battery to handle.
To use the speakers, plug in the Gunbox SK-1 (if it is not already plugged in). On your phone, go to the Bluetooth
settings. Make sure that your phone has the Bluetooth turned on. On the Bluetooth Settings screen, you will be
able to search for nearby Bluetooth devices. Find the device called “Gunbox SK-1” and connect. Once connected,
the Gunbox SK-1 will chime. You can now go into the music player and begin to play music from your phone. The
volume level of the Gunbox SK-1 is controlled by your phone as well.
Charging the SK-1
The Gunbox SK-1 has a back-up battery for all functions besides the Bluetooth Speakers (for the Bluetooth
Speakers to work, the Gunbox SK-1 needs to be plugged in). The Gunbox SK-1 can work for up to 1 year without
charging. If the Gunbox SK-1 runs low on battery, it will flash blue and red when you press the front white
emblem. To charge the battery, simply plug the charger that came with the Gunbox SK-1 into the back of the
Gunbox SK-1. (Note: using a different charger than the one that came with your Gunbox SK-1 may damage the
Gunbox SK-1 and void your warranty)
