Most digital lock problems are related to low, dead or Non-Alkaline batteries. For all SentrySafe models, we recommend the following:
-
DO NOT USE Rechargeable or Non-Alkaline batteries.
- Use quality name brand batteries.
- Purchase batteries from trusted sources.
- All batteries have expiration dates on them. Ensure those dates are as close to 10 years out from current year as possible.
- When changing batteries do not mix brands (i.e. all 4 batteries should be of the same brand) or mix old batteries with new batteries.
- It is strongly recommended to change batteries every 6 months to prevent battery leak.
