We at BestBatteryTips.com recently posted a blog entry about replacing the batteries in the GunVault electronic safe for handguns and have been encouraged to continue covering the topic of electronic safes. In this installment we have decided to include the biometric safe from GunVault called the Bio. Much like the standard firearm safes manufacturerd by Cannon the biometric fingerprint safe requires both a power pack and 9 volt battery.

As with the standard electronic gun safe the manufacturer continues to recommend Duracell 9Volt batteries.  Only (1) 9Volt battery is required for operation and the replacement is a breeze if you follow these simple steps.

Step 1.

Locating the Battery Holder
Much like the non biometric version of the safe, GunVault recommends that with your palm up, reach inside the safe to remove the foam liner and install or replace the battery. We have found that it’s much easier to turn the safe upside down. By doing so your hand is in a much more natural position and can more easily locate the battery tray.

Reach inside and find the far end of the ceiling foam. With your fingers, pinch the far end, and carefully pull the foam liner partially out of the electronic safe. Be gentle and careful not to tear the foam loose!

The 9volt battery holder is located inside on the roof of the gun safe and attached to the back side of the electronic lock body.

Step 2.

Replacing and Installing the 9 volt Battery

Again, we recommend that you position the safe upside down with the door facing you. This position allows for an easiter way to find the battery.
Simply connect the power cable to the 9volt battery. Listen for a beep audio signal, this
confirms that power is connected and operational.
• Be Carefule not pinch the power cable as this could case damage.
• Gently press the 9volt into position in the battery tray holder.
• Reposition the foam liner back into the ceiling fo the safe to covery the battery.

Now you are ready to set up the biometric fingerprint lock by enrolling your and up to thirty (30) other fingerprints for the safe.

For backup the GunVault also has a key lock, please do not lock your keys inside the safe!!! Store them in a location that is easy to remember!

According to the manufacturer of GunVault you should NEVER use a rechargeable battery as it will not work! We have yet to test this theory out and look forward to providing an update in the near future.
