WARNING

- Safe can be opened by either Fingerprint, PIN code, 

  and/or Emergency Keys.

- If user resets safe to Factory Default mode: Only the 

  Emergency Key or the Factory Default PIN code 1234 

  can open the safe. 

- Register both Fingerprint and PIN code to disable 

  Factory Default mode.

- Register at least two different fingerprints and test a few 

  times before closing the safe door.

- Test with a non-registered fingerprint. If the safe opens, 

  the safe is still in Factory Default mode.

- Avoid leaving safe door open and unattended; it will allow 

  unauthorized individuals to add their fingerprints and/or 

  reprogram the safe, gaining full access to the safe and 

  the contents.

- Test the Emergency Keys and store them in a secure 

   place, NOT inside of the safe.

- To maximize the security and performance of the safe, 

  test registered fingerprints every 6 months.
