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.

Programming A Passcode  
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.

Your Shelf and Shelf Support Clips have been  
shipped inside your safe and wrapped for protection  
from damage during shipping.  
1. Remove Shelf and (4) Shelf Support Clips  
from protective wrapping.  
2. Determine the desired position of your shelf  
and note the corresponding Support Guide  
Slots (2 on each side of interior walls) that  
are best suited to support the shelf in that  
position.  
3. Install the (4) Shelf Support Clips in the same  
position on all four support guides.

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 Safes 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.
