Solution: Turn the switch on with the Small Iron Key, and press the volume. The safe is opened by entering a 4-digit random code. After entering the code, its correctness is confirmed by four lights. If the color is red, the digit is not part of the code. If the color is green and blinks, the digit is part of the code, but it is on a different position. If the green color stays on, the digit is on the correct position. The last digit is always "9". To crack this safe, enter 1 2 3 4 first. If, for example, "3" blinks green, it means "3" is part of the code, but it is not on the 3rd position. Next, enter 5 6 7 8. If, for example, "5" and "7" blink, it means they are parts of the code, but "5" is not on the 1st position, and "7" is not on the 3rd position. Now, you have all digits of the code: "3", "5", "7" and the last one is "9". Only "5" may be on the 3rd position, so, in this example, the code is either "3759" or "7359". Which one is the correct one shall be verified by entering them via the dialer. The code of the safe changes after every five attempts, or when the device is reset.
