SentrySafe Fire-Safe Mode D'emploi page 3

Locating and securing this product
For maximum fire safety
Keep this product on the lowest secure floor in your home
or business. If a fire damages the flooring, there will be
less danger of injury to fire fighters below, or of damage
to the unit's contents.
To assure that the unit will perform properly in
case of fire, store it closed and locked, with the feet down.
The front plate where the model number appears, should
be facing out, not up.
Notice: Media Safes 1710 and 6720
Store the SentrySafe media chest or file in a cool, dry
location. Extended exposure to temperatures above 95ºF
(35ºC) activates the special insulation in your unit that
protects the contents in an actual fire. If activated
prematurely, this insulation won't be "fully charged,"
reducing its fire protective capability. If stored in a cool
place, the insulation will recrystalize, regaining the
maximum fire protection required for sensitive
computer media.

WARNING
DO NOT store delicate items directly in your product
SentrySafe products which offer fire protection have a
patented insulation that has a high moisture content. If
you choose to store delicate items such as jewelry with
working parts, watches, stamps, or photos in your product,
we recommend putting them in an air-tight container,
prior to placing them in the product for storage.

In the event of a fire, potential damage to delicate pearls
ocurs at temperatures much lower than the 350°F interior
performance measure which the UL classification perfor-
mance standard indicated guarantees. Therefore, DO
NOT store pearls in your SentrySafe product.
