How to use a hotel safe

If you often have to visit hotels, you should take care of the safety of your documents and finances. For this purpose, safes are often installed in hotel rooms. But you still need to learn how to deal with it. Let's look at how to use a hotel safe to ensure your valuables are always safe.

Types of safes

Hotels with three stars or more equip their rooms with safes so that their guests have the opportunity to leave their valuables in the room and not worry about their safety. Safes can be of different types and with different types of locks, namely:

1. Key locks. This option is extremely rare. It is not particularly practical, guests often lose their keys, and reliability is low.
2. Magnetic locks. To open this structure, the guest should use a card. These are quite expensive locks, which justifies the rare use of safes of this type.
3. Biometric. The owner is identified by fingerprint. These locks are also quite expensive.
4. Coded electronic. This option is the most common. They are inexpensive, easy to use and have a good degree of reliability, and these are the main selection criteria.

Since the latter option can be found more often than others in hotel rooms, let’s look at their operating principle, or, more precisely, programming.

How to use a hotel safe - instructions

The operating principle of hotel safes is quite simple, which means that you are unlikely to have any problems using them. So that you don’t have any difficulties, let’s look at how to use this miracle box in a hotel.

REFERENCE. Each room that is equipped with a safe should have some kind of instructions to make it easier for the guest to deal with this box in the wall. It is worth noting that depending on the lock model used, some operating features may change, but the principle is still the same.

The usage algorithm is as follows:

• Replace the installed code with a new one that you will personally use. Some models support an automatic code reset button, some do not.

If you come across a model that does not have such a button, a custom code can be installed fairly quickly. You will need to dial the following combination [*] [Enter] [3] [Enter] [PIN1] [Enter] [PIN2] [Enter] [new PIN2 again] [Enter]. When the code is installed, you need to check its operation as follows [*] [new PIN2] [Enter]

If your room has a safe with a reset button, you just need to press it and the code will be reset. To activate a new password, enter the following combination: [But] enter [new PIN2] press [Enter]. It is necessary to check its operation as follows: [ON] [new PIN2] [Enter]. You should carry out all the described manipulations when the door is not closed. As you can see. This stage is very simple. After typing the combination several times, you definitely won’t have any difficulties at this stage.

• When you have replaced the old code with a new one and checked the functioning of the set password, you can close the safe. Next, turn the lock handle counterclockwise until it stops.
• In order to open the safe door you will need to enter the code you came up with, everything is quite simple. If you did everything correctly, you will hear a signal indicating this, and a green light will also indicate the correctness of your actions.

IMPORTANT. If you hear a beeping sound and see the red light blinking not green, but five times in a row, this may indicate that the batteries are low and need to be replaced.
