Battery Installation
To get started, insert one of your backup keys into the keyhole at the front of the safe (see Figure A). Push key in
and rotate the key 90 degrees clockwise to open the safe.
Remove crate foam insert. Locate the battery compartment door on the inside of the safe directly behind the '1'
key on the keypad (see Figure B).
Using the Phillips screwdriver provided open the battery cover by removing the single screw in the top center of
the battery cover.
Insert the 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion battery (included in box) into the battery compartment. Note that your
Vaultek™ safe automatically detects the polarity of the battery and can be installed in either direction.
When the battery is inserted you will hear a short welcome tone and the keypad will light up.
Once you hear the tone and see the keypad lights up, replace the battery cover and screw. You are now ready to
program your safe. See page 06.

Charging the Battery
Your Vaultek™ safe is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and comes with a charging kit which
includes an AC power adapter (suitable for 120 volt power outlets) and a micro-USB cable. Safe and
micro-USB cable can be used with all international power adapters.
Under normal usage, the battery can last at least 4 months. To recharge the safe, plug the micro-USB cable into
the micro-USB receiving jack located on the lower right side of the safe (Figure C) and connect to a standard USB
port or wall outlet using the AC power adapter. Approximate recharge time is 2.5 hours. During recharging, the
white LEDs above the micro-USB jack (Figure C) indicate the battery capacity as below:
4 lights glow: Fully recharged
3 lights glow, 1 light blinks: 80%~100%
2 lights glow, 1 light blinks: 60%~80%
1 light glows, 1 light blinks: 40%~60%
1 light blinks, less than 20%
The charging kit can also function as an external power
supply, which means you can open your safe even when
the battery is depleted.
IMPORTANT
After installing the battery, use the charging kit provided to charge the unit 100%.

Testing the Battery Power
To check the battery level, press and hold the '5' button on the keypad (3 seconds). The button from '1' to '4' will
glow GREEN or RED to indicate the battery level:
Remaining Battery Capacity Level
If 4 digits glow green: 80%-100%
If 3 digits glow green: 60%-80%
If 2 digits glow green: 40%-60%
If 1 digit glows green: 20%-40%
If 1 digit glows red: 2%-20%
If 1 blinks red: less than 2%
Low Battery
If '1' button on the keypad blinks 5 times and you hear a beep when opening the safe, your battery level is
critically low and your safe needs to be charged immediately.
IMPORTANT
Replace the battery with a 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion battery when one or more of the following occurs:
A) all four of the white lights above the micro-USB jack are blinking or B) it takes more than 4 hours to recharge
the battery. (Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for instructions).
The adapter used to charge the battery should output 5V/1000mA or above the using micro-USB.

Press and hold the "PROGRAM" button again (3
seconds) until all keys (1-5) light up RED and let go.
Enter your NEW master code a second time.
Press and hold the "PROGRAM" button a third time
(3 seconds) until the safe beeps and let go. This tone
conrms that the password has been reset.
If you make a mistake and the new code will not work,
simply start over with step 2.
Master Code Programming
First time users should change the default code as soon as possible to prevent unauthorized access to your safe.
You will also use this master code in the Vaultek™ app on your smartphone, so it should be kept condential.
TIP: Code Requirements
Your code can be a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 keypad entries.
Two keys cannot be pressed simultaneously.
Programming a new code will overwrite your previous code.
Enter default code 1-2-3-4-5 on the keypad to open the safe.

Product Registration
Vaultek™ strongly encourages you to register your safe as soon as you receive it. Registration provides many
benets including technical support and ordering replacement keys should you misplace them. Your Vaultek™
safe has a unique product number on the inside of the battery door and a 4-digit ID number engraved on the
keys. You will need these numbers to register your safe.
Locate your product number. It is printed on the rst page of this user manual and on the back of the battery door
(Figure E/F).
Find your 4-digit ID number engraved on the keys (Figure G).
Please visit the Vaultek™ website at VAULTEKSAFE.COM and click Support.

Place cuticle of nger over center of scanner (this
allows the scanner to read where most of the
ngerprint detail is located) see (Figure H).
Adjust your nger slightly between scans for increased
accuracy.
Excessive moisture, lotions, or dirt will aect your
ngerprint and may cause inaccurate sensor reading.
If you are experiencing diculty try dierent ngers.
Each nger is unique and some ngers contain more
readable information than others. There is a rare
percentage of people who have ngerprints that can
not scan.
To increase success rate register the same nger
multiple times.
Biometrics / Programming
Biometrics are methods of authenticating the identity of a person based on physiological or behavioral
characteristics. Biometric ngerprint authentication refers to technology that measures and analyzes human
physical characteristics for identication and authentication purposes.
Everyone has their own unique ngerprints, and what makes them unique is the pattern of ridges, valleys and
minutiae points that comprise an individual print. Vaultek™ and their leading engineering group has developed
proprietary technology to read and match ngerprints with unmatched speed and accuracy. That means that only
authorized users have access to your valuables. The VT20i safe is capable of storing ngerprint data for up to 20
unique authorized users. A user consists of 5 scans of the same nger during registration. Once a user's
ngerprint data is stored in the safe and encrypted, it cannot be copied or stolen.

Programming the 1st and 2nd Fingerprints
The 1st and 2nd ngerprints will be recognized as administrative ngerprints and will be used to authorize
additional users.
Open the safe. Program 1st ngerprint by quickly pressing and releasing the "PROGRAM" button (Figure I). The
light above the ngerprint scanner (Figure J) will be RED and the '1' button on the keypad will blink RED.
Using the helpful programming tips provided on page 08 place your nger on the ngerprint sensor for the rst
of 5 scans. When the safe beeps and the '1' button ashes GREEN and then solid RED remove your nger. If the
sensor turns red remove your nger and try again.
Place nger again over the scanner until the safe beeps and the number 2 lights up GREEN and lift. You will
repeat this process until all keys (1-5) are solid GREEN.
Close lid and test to see if the safe will open using your ngerprint. If you experience issues refer to the helpful

Programming Additional Fingerprints
The rst two ngerprints programmed into the safe are the administrative ngerprints. Any additional users
programmed require authorization from one of these ngerprints.
Open the safe. Program additional ngerprints by quickly pressing and releasing the "PROGRAM" button (Figure I
on page 09). The light above the ngerprint sensor (Figure J on page 09) will turn RED prompting you to scan one
of the administrative ngerprints.

beeps and the light above the ngerprint sensor turns GREEN. When the ‘1’ button on the keypad starts blinking
RED you can program a NEW ngerprint.
TIP: If the administrative print is left on the scanner too long the safe will begin to program that ngerprint into
the safe again and not the NEW ngerprint. If this happens start over with step one.
Using the helpful programming tips provided on page 08 place the NEW nger on the scanner. When the safe
beeps and the '1' button lights up GREEN remove your nger.
Place nger again over the scanner until the safe beeps and the number 2 lights up GREEN and lift. You will
repeat this process till all keys (1-5) are solid GREEN.
