I set the pin on the safe as per instructions, but when I enter it I get 3 beeps on first digit then nothing as I pres others. Please advise.

Most likely it will not close because the lock has been activated while the door was open. Probably need to take it to a locksmith.

you would be surprised how many error code you can find by putting the word error code followed by the actual code into google

Keep the drill motor in the toolbox, you'll likely just ruin the safe.

If you prefer to employ your own code, you can
program the safe to open using a 5-digit user code
of your choice.
3. User pin
If you wish to give someone else temporary access
to the safe, you can program a 5-digit user pin that

This safe was shipped with a factory Master Code of 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8.


If you changed the Master Code you will need to use the code you changed it to.


Deleting your current User Codes:
Input * - * lock will beep twice
input 6-6-6-# lock will beep twice
Input current Master Code - # lock will beep twice
Input user number - # lock will beep twice (not user code, user number is which user number you want to delete 1,2,3,4 or 5)
Re-input user number - # light stays green for 3 seconds

Example: * - * - 6 - 6 - 6 - # Master Code - # - 5 - # - 5 #
This will delete user 5
Unsuccessful code change: five beeps, repeat the steps.

Input * - * lock will beep twice
Input 4 - 4 - 4 - # lock will beep twice
Input Current User Code - # lock will beep twice

There are other things you can do with the MSL-500 lock that comes on the MFL-2014E. You can change the master code, activate user codes, change user codes, delete user codes, set single user or dual user modes (dual user modes requires two user codes to be entered each time you want to open the safe, set the time delay.

The Mesa safe company has a website which does have the operating instructions for the MSL-500 electronic lock. A Google search of "Mesa MSL-500 Operating Instructions" would get you there quickly.

I recommend you try to access Safe Mode again.

The way I understand it, your ps3 is supposed to turn off after the third beep as you keep holding the Power button. Then you start the sequence again, and this time you will get the double beep.

Of course, Safe mode is only available for PS3's with system software of 2.60 and higher, perhaps yours is older than that?

I hope that helps.
