Owner’s Manual
SentrySafe recommends that you do not store loaded guns in this unit.
This is a California-approved firearm safety device that meets the requirements of Penal Code section 23655 and the regulations issued thereunder.
NOTICE
Do NOT store delicate items directly in your safe.
SentrySafe products which offer fire protection have proprietary insulation that has a high moisture content. In addition, the SentrySafe advanced safes close airtight to offer water resistance, which may also cause moisture to accumulate inside your safe. The desiccant packet included in your safe during shipment should be left in your safe. DO NOT DISCARD IT. It is intended to help absorb moisture that may accumulate inside your safe. Please open your unit once every two weeks to avoid moisture accumulation. If you choose to store delicate items such as jewelry with working parts, watches, stamps, or photos in your safe, we recommend putting them in an air-tight container, prior to placing them in the safe for storage.
NOTE: SentrySafe will not be responsible for any damage or loss of items placed in the unit due to moisture.
DO NOT store pearls in this safe.
In the event of a fire, potential damage to delicate pearls occurs at temperatures much lower than the 350°F interior performance measure which the UL classification performance standard indicated guarantees. Therefore, DO NOT store pearls in your SentrySafe product.
No computer disks, audio-visual cassettes, or photo negatives.
This product is not intended to protect computer floppy or diskettes, cartridges, and tapes, audio or video cassettes, or photo negatives.
Liquids can damage the keypad!
Pen points or other sharp objects can puncture the keypad membrane!
Your safe is only part of your total security protection.
SentrySafe recommends that you store your safe in closets, offices, basements, bedrooms, and any other locations that are convenient for you but out of the direct line of sight from prying eyes. The location of the safe does not affect the safe’s ability to protect your valuables inside.
If children live or visit in your home, do not leave your SentrySafe Executive Safe open and unattended. Children at play could accidentally be locked inside the safe. Keep your safe closed and locked at all times.
Thank you for your purchase of a SentrySafe Product. SentrySafe is committed to securing, organizing, and protecting your most important documents, valuables, and keepsakes.
