Troubleshooting your Yale Smart Safe

The keypad has 9V terminal positioned under the keypad. When placing a good quality 9V  battery on the terminal, this will power up the safe and you can  use the Yale Access App or pin code to open the safe.​

Please remember that if you have opened the safe with the key, you also have to lock it with the key, from then on you can continue using the entry code or Yale Access app.

Make sure your Connect Bridge is installed within 10 feet of your safe. Also, the Connect Bridge should be line of site with the front of Safe. 

• Press a key on the Safe keypad and verify that the Green LED flashes when pressed​
• Check the  batteries are installed correctly (polarity) in the battery case.​
• Check the batteries are in good condition, fully charged, replace batteries if required.

Your batteries may be completely discharged. Apply a 9V battery to terminals below the keypad for backup power option or open the safe with the provided key.​

Make sure that the operating mode in the Yale Access app is set to normal mode, under keypad settings, not privacy mode.

This would indicate the batteries do not have enough power. Please replace the batteries.​

The Smart Safe accepts codes between  4 - 6 digits in length. Verify the code you are entering meets this criteria.

Check to see if the Smart Safe is set to Privacy mode.​
