Waterproof Protection
(F and H Series Models Only)
SentrySafe waterproof products have been tested by the
independent testing firm ETL Semko and found to be in compli-
ance with the following standard for waterproof submersion:
With respect to a closed product with the latch fully engaged,
when completely submerged in up to 2 inches of water above
the uppermost surface for a duration of one hour, no more
than 0.5 grams (8 drops) of water enter the product.
NOTE: All waterproof models must be closed with the latch fully
engaged to minimize any water invasion.
Lifetime After-Fire Replacement Guarantee
If this product is damaged by fire at any time while still owned by
you (the original owner), Sentry Group will ship a replacement
free of charge, if you send the following to the Sentry office
nearest you (see back cover):
• Your name and address;
• A description of the fire, with the model number and a photo
of the burned unit.
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 35ºC (95ºF) 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.
To lock and unlock
Two keys are packed with the unit.
• To lock, insert the key (with the lid closed). Turn the key
one-quarter turn to the right. Remove the key and store it in
a secure place. (Fig. A)
• To unlock, insert the key and turn it one-quarter turn to the
left. (Fig. B)
