turn the handle of the safe to the unlocked position and pull the door open.
Changing the ESL20XL Master User Combination
You may change your combination any time you'd like and as many times as you'd like. To insure security once
your safe is installed, you must change the factory preset combination to a new 6-digit combination.
CAUTION: Combination changes should always be done with the door OPEN to prevent accidental lockout.

A Few Things to Remember

With each keystroke, the red LED on the keypad will flash and the beeper will chirp.

trial-and-error attempts at opening the lock. The red LED will flash once every 5 seconds during this period.
If you press any key during the Penalty Lockout Period, the red LED will flash and you will hear 8 rapid
chirps. Removing power does not reset the Penalty Lockout.
 Before keying the combination, be sure that the handle of the safe is centered in the locked position to

 If the lock fails to open or acts strangely, replace the batteries with fresh alkaline 9-volt batteries. See
