Get Started

Battery Installation

1) To get started, insert one of your backup keys into the keyhole at the top of the safe (see Figure A). Push key in and rotate the key 90 degrees clockwise to open the safe.

2) Locate the battery compartment inside the safe beneath the control panel (see Figure B).

3) Remove the battery cover by pressing down on the tab near the top of the cover.

4) 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.

TIP: For easy removal make sure to place the pull string over the battery before closing the door.

5) When the battery is inserted you will hear a short welcome tone and the keypad will light up. Once you hear the tone replace the battery cover. You are now ready to program 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 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.

Master Code

NMX / NMXi

1) Open the safe. With the safe open, press and hold the ‘1’ key then the “PROGRAM” button together (3 seconds) until the LCD screen prompts you to enter your new code.

Register Your Safe

Vaultek strongly encourages you to register your safe as soon as receive it. Registration provides many benefits including technical support and ordering replacement keys should you replace them. Your safe has a unique product part number on the inside of the batty door and a 4-digit ID number engraved on the keys. You will need these numbers to register your new unit.

1. Locate your product part number. It is printed on the first page of your user manual and on the back of the battery cover.

2. Find your 4-digit number engraved on the keys.

3. A copy of your receipt or order number.

4. You are ready to register your safe.
