Troubleshooting
Key press results in 2 red flashes + short beeps
The lock is in penalty caused by 4 consecutive incorrect
code entries. Wait for the 5-minutes penalty period to
elapse. After the penalty has elapsed, 2 further wrong
codes will again initiate a penalty. The trigger will reset
after a valid code has been entered.
3 red flashes + short low beeps
The code or command has not been entered correctly, re-
enter.
If a mistake is made during code or function entry
Press # to cancel
A key does not beep when pressed
If the LED still flashes, keypad beeps may have been
turned off. If there is no flash, the batteries may be
depleted. Change the batteries then set the date and time
to ensure accuracy of the audit data.
The safe or vault door does not open
If the lock system is otherwise operating normally, there
may be a mechanical fault with the safe. Contact a safe
engineer.
