Before the batteries go dead the lock emits multiple audible chirps (similar to those emitted by a smoke detector alarm) to alert the user that the batteries need to be changed. Your private combination will be stored in a "non-volitile" memory chip inside the electronic lock. If you are gone for several weeks, your private combination code will remain stored in the memory chip. Simply replace the 9 volt battery in the lock and your private combination code will still work.
SAVS recommends contacting a local locksmith to have your electronic lock properly serviced. Check in your local yellow pages under "locksmith" or contact the safe's manufacturer.
