What happenes when the battery goes in the safe?
277455
I've had this save for 4 or 5 months and open it frequently and I'm still using the original batteries that came with it. The batteries last a long time. When the batteries start running low the safe alerts you with an audible and/or light alert. The safe also has a manual key which can open the safe. The key hole is hidden behind the emblem on the front of the safe. It has to be unscrewed with an allen wrench so much easier to replace the batteries.

I purchased one on an auction website and it came without the manual key. I figured I'd change the batteries every few months so i wouldn't ever be locked out. For whatever reason, my safe never gave the indicator warning the installed batteries needed to be changed - I was locked out! After I tried unsuccessfully to get key replacements from Barska, I ended up ordering the external battery powered backup accessory from Barska for about $20. It runs off of 4 AA batteries and plugs directly into a port on the side of the Biometric "dial" on the door. I highly recommend getting it just in case the keys get misplaced. Just remember not to keep the back-up in the safe...lol. I purchased one on an auction website and it came without the manual key.

It comes with a key also. One of mine is about five years old and still on first battery. I should probably change it.

It's powered by four AA batteries which can last for up to 2 years....When the door is closed and 3 repetitive beeps are heard and indicator lights flash red, it indicates the batteries are low...when my batteries give me the 3 beeps the safe gets new batteries and there is a key included so you can open the safe to change the batteries.

I have not experienced this issue as of yet. The documentation included stated that when the battery starts to get low it will beep to inform you of the low battery and to change it. If you miss the warnings and the battery goes dead on you, the unit comes with a key that will open the it manually. If you look at the picture of the front of the unit, there is a small tag next to the big dial (Lock) you will need to unscrew one of the screws holding the tag and the key slot is behind the tag. As a side note, I love this unit and if you follow the instructions to program your biometrics, you will have no problems with recording your prints and it will not open to anyone not recorded as authorized to open it. It works great! Good Luck!

depends on the condition of the battery. if it has 2 or less volts it will take along time to recover it.

The battery is low and it is about to go dead. Anyway that is what happens to mine. Hope that helps!

I have had this safe for sometime now, it can be bolted down in a closet I know, I don't see why it could be in a floor as well with the right bolts because you have to go inside the safe to unscrew it, just so you know as well, im still on the same battery that I started off with, it is very sturdy and heavy for a safe this size and holds quite a bit of stuff, hope this answers your question and any others that it may pose

Jim, I'm not totally sure what you are asking, but the unit is all safe contained and is powered by a 9v battery. The same battery that is in smoke alarms.

If your safe is not equipped with an inside electric outlet, you will need to drill a small hole in the back of the safe. The unit itself comes apart so you only need a very small hole. The unit comes with detailed easy to follow step by step instructions.

Yes. The Batteries are in the control panel which can be removed from the front of the safe. Fingerprint information is stored in non-volatile data.

The safe is basically a sheet-metal gym locker used to store guns. It has no insulating qualities, and would in all probability melt in hot house fire. If it didn't melt, the internal temps from the fire would probably damage anything stored inside.

There is a standard assigned passcode to open it and set your own. This is all in the instructions you should have received with the safe, along with two physical keys that can be used if the code does not work or if the battery needs to be replaced.

aa if i remember. there is also a key that comes with it in case the batteries die you can still get into the safe.

Usually in one of your closets there will be the metal box towards the ceiling. The battery you will be replacing is inside.

Not sure but would assume a very long time as its shelflife is dependent upon moisture, a locked safe is probably sealed very tight with little or no moisture.

My batteries have not failed, but the safe has a backup lock and key. When the batteries fail, you may open the safe with the key and replace the batteries. Of course, you will want to keep the keys (you receive 2 keys) in a safe place; definitely not in the safe.

The Schlage lock gives lots of warning that the battery is getting weak so you have plenty of time to change it. If it does go dead or the electronics die then it becomes like any other lock. Keep a spare somewhere like a safety deposit box, hide a key family member or friemd.

Instead of removing the battery, place a small piece of insulator (paper, thin carton, plastic, etc.) between any one of the battery poles and its contact point. Thereby, there is no/little risk of losing/misplacing any of the batteries during non-use; and while it is in-use, place the insulator beside the battery for safe keeping inside the battery compartment.

Please give us more information. What happens when you insert new batteries and switch on?

It goes in the butt of the gun. There is a plastic cover in the butt. Lift the lever and pull the cover to one side. Battery is inside.
