Programming Preparation
Step 1. Installing Batteries
BATTERY
COMPARTMENT
The digital keypad is powered by 4 “AA” batteries which
must be installed before you can begin programming
your personal code. For your convenience, we have
provided you with 4 “AA” batteries. For best results
and depending on use, we recommend replacing the
batteries at least once a year.
1. Locate battery compartment to the right of the
digital keypad.
2. To open the compartment, press firmly in on the
battery cover and slide it to the right for removal.
3. Install 4 new “AA” batteries in the battery
compartment. Make sure they are installed in the
correct direction as marked on the inside of the
battery compartment.
4. Once the batteries are installed properly, replace
the cover by sliding it back on from the left.
Important: BATTERY REMOVAL
If the batteries are removed or fail, the
keypad memory will NOT be erased.
Step 2. Open Safe with Override Key (square top)
You will need access to the inside of the safe door to begin
programming. You must use the Emergency Override Key
(square top) to open the door for the first time.
1. Insert the Emergency Override Key (square top) in the
lock, turn to the left (counterclockwise) and pull the door open.
Important: TURN OVERRIDE KEY TO LEFT ONLY
When using the Emergency Override Key, you must
ONLY TURN IT TO THE LEFT. Turning it to the right
may cause key to become stuck in the cylinder and
may cause damage to the lock.

LCD Display Menu
Your new Digital Firesafe features an LCD display to assist in programming and
operating your safe. A menu of the codes is as follows:
LCD
DISPLAY
Ready to enter your passcode
Passcode successfully programmed
Correct passcode entered
Incorrect passcode entered
Batteries (“AA”) must be replaced
MEMORY
BUTTON
Step 3. Programming a Passcode
Use the digital keypad to program your own 3 to 8 digit
passcode. You may choose or change your personal
passcode at any time by following these steps:
1. Locate the memory button marked on the
inside of the door.
2. Using a pen or other blunt tip, quickly push
and release the memory button.
3. After you hear a “beep”, the LCD display will read
“OPEN” and you may begin entering your personal
code (from 3 to 8 numbers) followed by the # button.
4. Next, you will hear a longer “beep” and the
LCD display will read “CODE”, indicating that your
personal code has been successfully programmed and
can now be used to open your safe.
Important: SECURITY LOCKOUT PERIODS
For added security, the safe will automatically “Lockout” entry
for 5 minutes after three attempts to open with an invalid
passcode. After three more invalid attempts within this time
period, a one-hour “lockout” period will begin. During these
“Lockout” periods, entry MUST BE MADE using the emergency
override key.

Additional Features: Bolt-Down Kit
Model 2054DF (only)
Installing Your Safe
Certain models include a Bolt-Down kit with break-off bolts and a mounting
template for permanent mounting to a flat surface. Once the safe is installed
using the break-off bolts, it is permanent and cannot be easily removed.
Tools Required
4 Break-off Bolts (Supplied)
4 Washers(Supplied)
1 Mounting Template (Supplied)
1 Drill
1 Screwdriver
Important: SECURING TO FLOOR
Many consumers prefer to bolt their safe to the floor to
increase protection from theft and resistance to tipping.
If your safe was manufactured with bolt down holes pre-
drilled in the floor of the safe, bolting your safe to the
floor may provide additional theft deterrence.
If you have ANY QUESTIONS about how to accomplish
this, or are uncomfortable using the tools necessary
to complete this project, please check with your local
retailer, home center, or independent contractor.

Additional Features: Bolt-Down Kit
Model 2054DF (only)
Installation Procedure
1. Choose a mounting location that is easily
accessible from both above and below.
2. Carefully position the template on the
location that you want to mount the safe.
3. Create the guide marks by pressing a sharp
tool through the circles at the four corners of
the template and into the mounting location.
4. Drill a hole (the diameter of the break-off bolt
shaft) through each guide mark.
Important: DON’T DRILL SAFE
Do not drill into the feet, bottom or any other
part of safe! Doing so will ELIMINATE THE FIRE
PROTECTION that has been designed into your
safe and invalidate all stated warranties.
5. Before attaching the safe, you should check
carefully that the 4 holes you have drilled
match up precisely with the holes that have
been pre-drilled in the bottom of the safe.
Note: On certain models, It may be necessary
to remove the rubber foot pads that are
screwed into the bolt-down holes at the
factory.
6. Once you have confirmed that the holes
are aligned and in the location you desire,
install the break-off bolts and washers from
underneath the mounting location (through
the furniture or shelf), and into the pre-drilled
holes in the safe.
7. Turn bolts until the screw heads break off.

Consumer Affairs
Your Safe’s Unique Identification Numbers
When contacting Consumer Affairs, you should be prepared to supply some
important information that specifically identifies your safe. This information is
extremely important to assuring prompt and accurate customer assistance.
It is strongly recommended that you identify and record the following information
in the “Safe Identification Record” form located on the inside back cover of this
manual:
Model Number
Serial Number
Key Number
Locating Model and Serial Numbers
Most First Alert® safes include a small metallic silver or gray tag affixed to one
of the surfaces. This tag is usually located on the front or right side of the safe.
This tag contains the Serial Number, and on selected models a similar tag is
attached containing the Model Number. If a Model Number tag is not attached
to the safe, then it can be located on the front or side panel of the box that the
safe was packaged in. Write this number down for future reference.
Key Number
The Key Number is located on the key. If you do not have the key, the number
is also imprinted on the Emergency Override Key lock. See Emergency Override
Key, page 3, for instructions on locating this lock.
Important: DO NOT REMOVE TAGS!
In case your safe becomes inoperable or you lose your keys, these identification
numbers will be needed to correct the problem. It is recommended that the
number tags remain in place on the safe. If removal is necessary, then they
should be attached to the inside back cover of the Operation and Installation
Guide. Store in a safe and secure place for future reference.
