Get Started

Battery Installation

1) To get started open the safe using one of your backup keys via the keyhole at the back of the safe. Open keyhole cover, push key in and rotate key clockwise to open the safe.

2) Locate the battery door and open by depressing the tab near the front of the cover, allowing the door to fold down (Figure A/B).

3) Snap the battery (included in accessory box) into the battery door (Figure B/C). The battery door has molded snaps for the battery to clip into. Note that your Vaultek® safe automatically detects the polarity of the battery and can be snapped in either direction.

TIP: Make sure to push battery to back of the battery door allowing the door to close properly.
Close the battery door. When the battery door is closed you will hear a short welcome tone and the keypad will light up.

IMPORTANT: First time users should change the default code immediately after installing the battery to prevent unauthorized access to your safe.

Can I keep my safe plugged in?

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.

Charging Safe

1) To recharge the safe, plug the micro-USB into the micro-USB receiving jack located on the back side of the safe and connect to a standard USB port or wall outlet using the AC power adapter. Approximate recharge time is 2.5 hours.

2) The LED next to the receiving jack on the side of the safe will glow RED indicating charging and GREEN indicating charged.

After installing the battery, use the charging kit provided to charge the unit 100%.

Using Powerpack with Wi-Fi Safe

ONLY use VP6000 to charge the installed 18650 battery when the battery is LOW.

Unplug VP6000 immediately when the battery is mostly or fully charged.

CAUTION: Leave VP6000 plugged-in when the battery is fully charged will cause the safe reset to LPM OFF mode (Wi-Fi always ON) thus deplete VP6000 quickly.

Fingerprints (Only SL20i)

TIP: Place the core of the fingerprint flat (Figure F+G) over the center of the scanner (this allows the scanner to read where most of the fingerprint detail is located) see (Figure F).

TIP: Adjust your finger slightly between scans for increased accuracy.

TIP: Excessive moisture, lotions, or dirt will affect your fingerprint and may cause inaccurate sensor reading.

TIP: If you are having difficulty with your print, program the same fingerprint 4 or 5 times. You have 20 slots available for programming and you can also try your thumb as it has more surface area to read.

Program Additional Fingerprints

NSL20 / NSL20i

After the first two Admin fingerprints have been locked in, you can add additional users or fingerprints, up to 20 unique users in total. This is very helpful in the event the fingerprint scanner is having a hard time reading your initial fingerprints, or if you wish to grant other users authorized access to your safe. Any additional users programmed require authorization from one of the two Admin fingerprints.

1) Open the safe. Press and hold the ‘2’ key and “PROGRAM” button together (3 seconds)(Figure I on page 10). When all keys (1-5) are blinking RED scan one of the administrative fingerprints.

2) Place one of the first two programmed admin fingerprints on the scanner and remove when the safe beeps and the fingerprint LED blinks GREEN. When the ‘1’ key starts blinking RED you can enroll a NEW fingerprint.

TIP: If the administrative print is left on the scanner too long the safe will begin to program that fingerprint into the safe again and not the NEW fingerprint. If this happens start over with step one.

Low Success Rate

First, delete the prints you have programmed in so far, and try again with the tips below:

TIP: Biometric technology is dependent on our anatomical information, and in some cases different fingers may program better than others. For example, your index finger may not register very well, but your thumb may contain higher detail levels and have a much higher success rate. We suggest to try different fingers including your thumb and see if you have better results.

TIP: During the 5 scan programming process for each finger, slightly repositioning your finger after each scan will store more information and increase your success rate.

TIP: To increase success rate register the same finger multiple times. Note, that adding more than two fingerprints requires authorization from the two administrative prints.

Don't see name in device list?

IMPORTANT: Make sure you are using the Vaultek Bluetooth app and not the Vaultek WiFi app.

The device name you may be seeing in the “Select Your Safe” is the default name assigned to the safe. Example: “VAULTEK-1B7A”. Select that and once you successfully pair you can change the name.

Change Safe Name

1) From the Vaultek app dashboard select “More” from the lower right corner.

2) Select “Name Your Safe”.

3) Now name your safe to whatever you like.

Why do I have to re-pair my app?

A) In the event an authorized user paired another phone to your safe you will be prompted to re-pair. The safe is designed to pair with one phone at a time.

B) In the event an authorized user changed the 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.
