1. 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.

2. Remove the interior padding. Locate the battery compartment door on the inside of the safe directly behind the ‘4’ key on the keypad (see Figure B).

3. Remove the battery cover by pressing down on the tab near the top of the cover.Insert the 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion battery (included in accessory box) into the battery compartment. Note that your Vaultek™ safe automatically detects the polarity of the battery and can be installed in either direction.

4. 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 light up, replace the battery cover.

TIP! Leaving your safe plugged in continually will not harm the safe or battery. However, to preserve battery life we suggest that you unplug occasionally to allow the battery to cycle down.

1) Open the safe. (The default master code is 1-2-3-4-5 on the keypad)

2) With the safe open, press and hold the “PROGRAM” button until all keys turn RED and let go.

3) Enter your NEW master code.

4) IMMEDIATELY Press and hold the “PROGRAM” button a second time until all keys turn RED and let go.

5) Enter your NEW master code a second time.

6) IMMEDIATELY Press and hold the “PROGRAM” button together a third time until the safe beeps and all keys turn GREEN and let go. This tone confirms that the code has been reset.

If you make a mistake and the new code will not work, simply start over with step 2.

1) Get the App. Download the Vaultek app from the Google Play store or Apple store. IMPORTANT: do not download the Vaultek WiFi app as that is used for WiFi models only.

2) Make sure your phone’s Bluetooth settings are set to ON, and open the Vaultek app to begin.

3) Next, create a Pattern Lock. This is an added layer of protection to safeguard your safe and prevent unauthorized access in the event your phone is misplaced. To create your pattern lock, simply drag your finger along the screen to connect at least four dots. This unique pattern will be required each time you open the app.

4) Now select your safe. After a few seconds your safe will appear in the search. You can drag the screen downwards to refresh if you are not seeing your safe listed. Select your safe, and enter your safe’s master code when prompted. This is the same code used to open the safe using the numeric keypad.

IMPORTANT: If you change your safe’s master code after pairing, the safe will no longer connect to your app, and you will be prompted to enter the new code when needed.

IMPORTANT: As a security measure, if too many incorrect master code entries are entered, your safe’s Bluetooth will disable and must be toggled ON again using the hot key sequence.

5) Finally, sync your phone – A) Press and hold keys ‘4’ and ‘5’ on your safe followed by the “PROGRAM” button together for 3 seconds to start the syncing protocol. B) When the status bar starts blinking RED you can finalize the pairing sequence from your app screen by pressing ‘OK’. The safe’s status bar will flash GREEN and beep when complete. If the status bar flashes RED with two beeps you will need to start over with step 4.

TIP: This pairing sequence offers enhanced security protection and can only be used to pair one phone to your safe. If the process is repeated with a different phone, the previous phone will be overridden and disconnected from the safe.

Remote Unlock This feature will be grayed out as a default and will need to be enabled. Refer to “Unlock feature is grayed out on the app”.

Note, Vaultek does not in any way access your personal data (including photos, locations, contacts, etc). The app requires permissions to store certain preferences such as safe settings and fingerprint ID names in the memory of your phone. It also uses the Bluetooth function of your phone for wireless communication with your safe.

Toggle Alert of Manual Unlock: If the Alert of Unlock is on, and someone opens the safe with either the key or by picking the lock, the keypad will start flashing. To toggle Alert Unlock press and hold  the ‘3’ key then “PROGRAM” button together for 3 seconds. The keypad will flash GREEN indicating enabled or RED indicating disabled. If ON and activated it can only be cleared by entering master code. Default is OFF.

Tamper Detection: To check for tampering press and hold keys ‘2’ and ‘4’ together for 3 seconds. The ‘3’ key will glow RED to indicate tampering or GREEN to indicate no tampering. You can reset the tamper detection by opening the safe through one of the authorized entry points.

Toggle Sound: To toggle the sound ON/OFF press and hold keys ‘1’ and ‘3’ together for 3 seconds. If the ‘2’ key glows GREEN, the sound is ON; if the ‘2’ key glows RED, the sound is OFF.

Toggle Travel Mode: Save battery life by disabling the proximity sensor, fingerprint sensor, keypad, and Bluetooth features. To toggle travel mode ON/OFF press and hold keys ‘1’ ‘3’ and ‘5’ together until the safe beeps and the keys light up. If the keys glow RED and beeps, the safe is disabled; if the keys glow GREEN and beeps, the safe is operational.

If 3 keys glow green: 60%-80%

If 2 keys glow green: 40% – 60%

If 1 key glows green: 20%-40%

If 1 key glows red: 10%-20%

If 1 key blinks red: less than 10%

Toggle Interior Light: To toggle the interior light ON/OFF press and hold the ‘1’ key for 3 seconds. With the light toggled to ON you can press the “LIGHT” button inside the safe to illuminate the light and can also adjust the interior light in the app. If the light is toggled OFF the light will be disabled.

Toggle Bluetooth: To toggle the Bluetooth ON/OFF press and hold keys ‘2’ and ‘5’ at the same time for 3 seconds.  Keys ‘3’ and ‘4’ will glow RED indicating Bluetooth is off.  To turn Bluetooth back on again, press and hold keys ‘2’ and ‘5’ at the same time for 3 seconds until all keys (1-5) light up RED, then input your safe’s master code.  Keys ‘3’ and ‘4’ will glow GREEN to confirm Bluetooth is enabled. With the Bluetooth toggled ON you can perform various functions on the app. If the Bluetooth is toggled OFF all app functions will be disabled and your safe is undiscoverable.
