Install or Replace LED Batteries

Viking BL, SX, and FL series safes

Remove the LED Light Assembly

Locate the small screw on the LED light unit.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw.

Gently pull down the left (screw) side first. The LED unit will detach from the frame once the screw side is released.

Slide the unit out of its housing (“nest”). Do not force the LED housing during removal.

Identify the Retention Clip

You will notice that one side of the LED unit has a small plastic tab. This tab holds the light securely in place when it is installed in the frame.

When reinstalling, this side must be positioned correctly to lock into the housing. Do not force the unit out — it should slide out smoothly once the screw side is released.

Install the Batteries

Open the battery compartment on the LED unit.

Insert the batteries according to the polarity markings (+ / –). Always use the correct battery type specified in your user manual.

Press the small internal lever (light switch) to test the unit. The light should turn on when the lever is pressed.

If the light does not activate:

  • Confirm battery orientation
  • Ensure batteries are fully seated
  • Try a fresh set of batteries if needed

Reinstall the LED Unit

Insert the lever side first, sliding it in at a slight angle.

Once the plastic tab is seated in its slot, rotate the unit upward into position. Make sure the unit sits evenly within the housing.

Secure the LED Light

Reinsert and tighten the screw using your Phillips screwdriver. Align the screw hole.

Do not overtighten — snug and secure is sufficient. You’re done.

If the LED does not function after battery replacement,
