1 General instructions
• Please read the operating instructions carefully, before activating the lock.
1.1 Liability notes
• We don’t assume liability for malfunctions due to incorrect operation, use of force or inappropriate handling. In cases of
damage to property or valuables, which are due to incorrect locking of the safe, we also don’t assume liability.
• If your safe, however, does not open correctly with the following instructions, please contact the manufacturer of the safe.
1.2 Operating notes
• On the first use or after a power failure please wait approx. 3 minutes until reader unit will have the optimal temperature.
• Assess 3 fingers to administer the lock. These fingers will be master.
The master finger must not be the user finger (see 5.1).
• We recommend to chose an infrequently used finger as master finger.
• The correct operation of the master finger is acquitted with the green and red LED flashing.
• The correct operation of the user finger is acquitted with the green LED flashing.
• Up to 100 user fingers can be saved.
• When programming, the electronic lock has to be opened.
• We recommend to wash the hands before programming the master-/user finger.
• Never use force.
• Do not open the lock case, otherwise you compromise the function of the lock and warranty will be void.
1.3 Notes on safety
• After programming the user finger, the electronic lock should be opened and locked several times.
• After each locking doublecheck if the safe is closed.
1.4 Power failure
• In case of power failure disconnect the mains adapter on its connector and supply the lock with the emergency power set
and a 9V battery.
