Let’s program your master code!

Before programming lets cover a few code requirements.

• Your code can be a minimum of 4 digits, or a as long as 8 digits.
• Two keys can not be pressed at the same time.
• Programming a new code will overwrite your previous code.

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.

This completes the programming of a new master code.

Troubleshooting! If the keys time out during programming you will need to start over with step 1.

Repeat as needed to change master code.
