Warnings
WARNING
Gun warning:This product is not intended for the secure storage of all materials. Items such as
firearms, other weapons, combustible materials, or medication should NOT be stored in this unit.
NOTICE
DO NOT store delicate items directly in your safe.
SentrySafe products, which offer fire protection, have a proprietary insulation that has a high
moisture content. In addition, the SentrySafe advanced safes close airtight to offer water resistance,
which may also cause moisture to accumulate inside your safe. The desiccant packet included in
your safe during shipment should be left in your safe. DO NOT DISCARD IT. It is intended to help
absorb moisture which may accumulate inside your safe. Please open your unit once every two
weeks to avoid moisture accumulation.
If you choose to store delicate items such as jewelry with working parts, watches, stamps, or
photos in your safe, we recommend putting them in an airtight container prior to placing them in
the safe for storage.
NOTE: Sentry Group will not be responsible for any damage or loss of items placed in the unit
due to moisture.
DO NOT store pearls in this safe unit. In the event of a fire, potential damage to delicate pearls
occurs at temperatures much lower than the 350°F interior performance measure which the UL
classification performance standard indicated guarantees. Therefore, DO NOT store pearls in your
SentrySafe product.
DO NOT store computer disks, audio-visual media or photo negatives.This product is not intended
to protect computer floppy or 2-1⁄4" diskettes, cartridges and tapes, audio or video cassettes, or
photo negatives. For fire-resistant storage of these materials, ask your retailer for the SentrySafe
Fire-Safe Media storage products.
YOUR SAFE IS ONLY PART OF YOUR TOTAL SECURITY PROTECTION.
SentrySafe recommends that you store your safe in closets, offices, basements, bedrooms and other
locations that are convenient for you but out of direct line of sight from prying eyes. The location of
the safe does not affect the safe’s ability to protect your
valuables inside.
