PortaSafe has been designed as a deterrent to theft. The manufacturer/supplier
cannot accept any liability for personal injury, property damage or loss.
Using the PortaSafe (continued)
2. Guide the cable around a fixed secure object, for example a water pipe, a railing, a bed frame, part of a
vehicle chassis or heavy furniture.
3. Insert the end of the cable into the lock hole (make sure that it goes in all the way) and whilst holding the
cable end still in place turn the key to lock it in position - you have just locked the cable and set the alarm.
If the alarm sounds then the cable is not fully in the lock hole and you should turn the key back into the
unlocked position and push the cable end in the lock hole further before trying again.
4. To test the alarm prior to use turn the key to the locked position without inserting the cable into the lock
hole - the alarm siren should sound within a few seconds. If it doesn't then you should change the battery
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replacement Keys: A replacement key service is available. For security reasons, keys will only be issued to
users who have proof of purchase and have previously logged their key number with the manufacturer at one
of the addresses detailed below, or via the website www.lockalarm.com. Once you have registered, in the
event of key loss, the manufacturer will endeavor to supply a replacement key (a charge may apply).
***TROUBLESHOOTING***
Alarm doesn't sound or only makes a "clicking" sound when activated
Check you have a high quality Alkaline battery installed (eg. Duracell or Energizer). Check battery life.
When key is turned with the cable inserted in lock hole the alarm sounds
Ensure cable is inserted all the way into the lock hole. Sometimes, particularly when new, the cable requires
gentle force to fit into hole. You may also need to hold cable in lock hole at the same time as turning the key.
STILL EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES INSTALLING OR USING YOUR PORTASAFE?
Contact us for more troubleshooting hints.
The PortaSafe can be used in a permanent location just like a conventional safe or carried when traveling
and secured in a vehicle or in a suitable location at your destination. Simply passing the steel cable around
a suitable fixed securing point and locking the cable end in place prevents the safe being opened or
removed by unauthorized people.
Installing the Battery
(a) Ensure the PortaSafe is unlocked and the cable end is removed completely from the lock hole in the side
of the unit.
(b) Lift the lid and locate the battery cover on the underside of the lid. Using a small cross head screwdriver
untighten the screw until the battery cover can be removed.
(c) Gently pull down the battery connector from inside the battery compartment and fit a high quality 9 volt
ALKALINE battery
(d) Refit the battery cover by firstly engaging the end without the screw into the slot in the battery
compartment at the end closest to the lid hinges. Then gently close the battery cover until the screw
locates with the screw hole (if the battery is not fitted correctly then the battery cover may not close
properly - ensure battery is fully flat against the top of the battery compartment) and tighten screw fully.
(e) Your PortaSafe is now ready to use. Please now refer to the "Using the PortaSafe" section.
Using the PortaSafe
