Programming Your Combination
• For security purposes, you must program your own combination before opening the safe. The default
sequence is: Left-Center-Right. Press the buttons in this order.
• Record your combination in this user guide, or in a secure location.
• Make sure the sound on the safe is turned on.
1. To program, press and hold the RESET BUTTON (Figure 3), located inside the safe, for 3 seconds.
2. Once you press the RESET BUTTON you will hear two beeps (when sound is turned on), and all 3
buttons will flash green twice. You will have 5 seconds to begin entering your combination.
Note: If you do not begin in 5 seconds you will need to begin this process again

3. Enter your own 3 – 8 button combination by pressing any combination of the 3 buttons on the safe.
Example: Right-Left-Center-Left-Right
4. Each press of a button will be followed by a beep, and all the buttons will light up green.
5. If there is more than a 10-second delay between button pushes, you will need to start the process over
from step 1.
6. After you finish entering your combination you will have 10 seconds to press the RESET BUTTON to
record your new combination. If you do not press the RESET BUTTON within 10 seconds, you will need
to start the process over from step 1.
7. When you press the RESET BUTTON there will be two beeps, and all 3 buttons will flash green twice.
8. Enter your combination* again, and press the RESET BUTTON again for final confirmation. Two beeps
will sound and all 3 buttons will flash green twice. This means your combination has been successfully
recorded.
9. If 5 beeps sound and all 3 buttons flash red twice, you will need to start the process over from
step one.
*Note: If your code is an 8-button combination, you need only to press and hold the RESET BUTTON the
first time; there’s no need to press it again for the second and last confirmation.
Opening the Safe Using Your Combination
1. Enter your combination.
2. The buttons will light up green, and there will be one beep (if the sound is turned on) after each part of

on), and the buttons will flash red twice. The safe will automatically lock down for 2 minutes before you
can re-enter your code.

Selecting a Location for Your Safe
This safe was designed to be mounted to a shelf. Failure to do so will compromise the safety and security
of the safe. Install the safe in a secure, isolated, and dry area.
THE SAFE SHOULD ALWAYS BE KEPT OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
NOTE ON LOCKING THE SAFE: The safe needs to be in an upright position. This must be done for the
locking mechanism to work properly. Failure to mount the safe in the correct position will compromise the
safety and security of the safe.
Mounting the Safe

off the track. This can be done by pulling down on the pressure point on either side of the drawer’s
track and pulling the drawer out of place.
2. Place the safe in the desired location on a shelf, and mark the location of the pre-drilled mounting holes
on the bottom of the safe with a pencil.

5. Place the safe back on the shelf, and line up the pre-drilled holes at the bottom of the safe with the
pilot holes you have just drilled.
6. Using the provided screws and washers, secure safe to the shelf.
