What are the factory settings for the Power Safe TR36. The batteries are dead and if a revive them I assume it will have reverted to factory settings.

A rare eart magnet most likey will work it does on most lil safes.. You tube how to use one to open a safe its cake work. Takes 2 seconds.

There is no other battery for your settings, as indicated by the manual if you leave your camera for more then 1 hour without batteries (or dead batteries) you will loose all you settings.

Unfortunately is the way this camera works.

The only other thing that you would like to verify is the following setting but should not be your case because if ON it should revert to the factory setting every time you turn power off.

The factory code combination to your electronic lock will remain in the memory of the unit - even if the batteries go dead. Any use programmed codes will be lost if the batteries lose power. The Sentry programmed factory code is always your default code.

If you do not know your factory code, you can follow this link for your combination retrieval:

If the battery power has fallen too low the safe will revert to it's factory setting 159A or 159B if you have enough power to make the unit work one of these will open it.

The only way to get a replacement key is to call a locksmith out and have a key made.

If you removed batteries more than 1 or 2 times in a row, safe may revert back to a factory setting.
The factory number should be on your instruction sheet that came with the safe.
Contact Sentry for the factory safe number that came with your safe.

However, if the safe was not opening before you replaced the batteries it may be a faulty solenoid.

battery cover can be removed from outside. replace batteries and try again but if you remove batteries more than 1 or 2 times in a row, safe will revert back to a factory setting. That number should have been on your instruction sheet when bought. Good luck though, I bought a Sentry A3821 and it's only 5 years old and won't open.. After help from sentry I was told solenoid is bad and no longer made. So I now have a piece of junk bolted to my floor

Not sure why your unit would reset to factory settings, it's usually the thermostat settings that control the unit and resets when you have a power failure. Most thermostats have a battery in then to power the thermostat during a power failure. They usually only maintain the power from 15 to 30 minutes to maintain your settings, before defaulting back to factory settings. After every power failure you usually have to replace the batteries.

If the battery power has fallen too low the safe will revert to it's factory setting 159A or 159B if you have enough power to make the unit work one of these will open it.

your short lived battery is almost worn out. there is no safe way to revive it; your best off to replace it.
