If this is your first time using MortiSafe, keep the safe door open and follow these instructions (entering combination etc) with the door open. Don't close the door until you're satisfied that all parts are working and you understand how to operate it, but with the door open you can turn the handle as though you were locking and unlocking the safe.
Some times it seems that touching the MortiThingy or having your hand near the aerial while operating it weakens the signal and so it may seem that you're pushing a button but the safe is not reacting (or the safe becomes uncontrolled (ie openable) but the buzzer does not sound, or does not turn off when it should). If you experince this, try pushing the button without touching any other part of the MortiThingy.
There's a 'Control' button on the MortiThiny which switches the safe between controlled and uncontrolled. There's also an 'uncontrolled' buzzer in the safe. The normal state is that the safe is controlled - it's quiet and when you enter the correct combination on the safe, nothing will happen. If you push the 'Control' button on the MortiThingy then the buzzer will sound and normal operation will be restored to the safe so you'll be able to use the safe combination to unlock and relock it (see next section).
The buzzer is there as a reminder of the state of the safe, but it's not a critical part of the system. If it's too noisy and you want to remove it, or if the battery for it (the 9v one) runs flat, it won't affect the security of the system, it just means you won't have a noisy reminder of whether the safe's controlled or not.
If you should ever disconnect the power that goes into the MortiReceiver, it will reset the state of the system to the 'Controlled' state.
Before you can use any of the safe features, you'll need to uncontrol the safe by pushing the 'Control' button. This will cause the buzzer to sound. If this is too annoying while you're experimenting, you could temporarily take out the 9v battery which powers the buzzer - but don't forget to put it back later.
On my safe (yours is probably similar) resetting the combination is done by:
There's two things you can do:
L6de09e02a4376de09d1a
Run the application "MortiSafe_Sub.exe" which you downloaded earlier. Copy that code from above and paste it into the box and click on 'Apply code'. After a few messages, it will secure the MortiThingy - the blue light will change to flashing red. Now the 'Control' button will no longer work and your sytem is fully locked down!
Try opening the safe - it will accept your combination but the door won't open (that is, the handle you turn to open the door won't turn. If you're just testing and have the door open anyway then you can see that if the door were shut you wouldn't be able to open it because the handle won't turn).
Click 'Update time' and it will show you how long is left. With the code above, you're allowed to see how long is left, however the dom could have created the lock code with a setting that hides the remaining time, so you wouldn't then be able to tell how long was left.
That code will time out after 1 minute and the light will turn back to blue. When the MortiThiny goes from secured to unsecured state, it effectively 'pushes' the control button. This means that at the end of the time the 'uncontrolled' buzzer will sound and the safe will become unlockable.
Since the 'uncontrol' signal is a radio signal, there's always a possibility it might not get through. Not to worry, as long as the MortiThiny blue light is on, you can always push the 'control' button to control or uncontrol the safe, if you need to as a backup.
Once you unlock it you can push the 'control' button which will secure the safe and stop the buzzer. You can do that even with the door open, it just means that when the door is next closed it won't be openable again (more specifically, the handle won't be turnable).
Once the minute passes, put the same code in again (you can reuse them) and click to secure the safe. Then when it's secured, put in this unlock code:
Udb786dbcdb62
Once the second code is accepted, this will unsecure the MortiThingy and you can unlock the safe.
The lock and unlock codes are related - only the unlock code generated with the lock code will unlock a system locked with the lock code. If you try to use an unlock code which wasn't generated at the same time as the lock code, it will be rejected. You can experiment with generating your own code by running the application "MortiSafe_Dom.exe".
If your safe is ready (MortiThingy showing a blue light and the 'uncontrolled' buzzer is not sounding) then choose 'Lock for a random duration' and enter '1' in the 'from minutes' and '2' in the 'to minutes' boxes. Click 'Secure the safe'.
The safe will now be secured for between 1 and 2 minutes, and there's no way for you to know how long and no unlock code available to you to open the safe before the time is up.
