foot recommended) completely around the post, making sure the post and
mailbox are level and correctly positioned according to your local post office.
Allow concrete to set before use.

KEYS - Your new box comes with two keys. The keys allow access to the storage compartment. To retrieve incoming
deliveries, simply open the access door at the bottom of the box. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IT IS NOT THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF MAIL CARRIERS TO OPEN MAILBOXES THATARE LOCKED, ACCEPT KEYS FOR THIS
PURPOSE, OR LOCK MAILBOXES AFTER DELIVERY OF THE MAIL.
OUTGOING MAIL (models 5100 and 6200 only) - If you want to leave mail for your carrier to pick up, place the mail under
the outgoing m
ail clip and raise the red mail flag. Upon your carrier's next delivery, he or she will retrieve your outgoing
mail and lower the flag.

INCOMING DELIVERIES - Your Oasis Mailbox or Drop Box is equipped with a hopper style door, designed to accept
delivery of many small to medium sized parcels. This mailbox provides some security until you are able to retrieve your
deliveries at the end of the day. Although this box is locking and provides a front line deterrent for thieves, it is not a safe and
you should take reasonable precautions to make sure your deliveries remain secure. Here are some suggestions:
Do not leave deliveries in your box for extended periods of time. Collect your deliveries every day and don’t leave them
over night.
Do not let your deliveries stack up in the receptacle.
When away for an extended period of time, request your local Post Office to hold your deliveries until you return. Your
mail is safest behind the walls of your local Post Office.
If you are receiving very valuable or sensitive deliveries, consider a means for their delivery consistent with their nature,
such as through registered mail or a trackable courier.
Your new mailbox comes with an outgoing flag. Attach the flag
to the mailbox with the two nuts as shown at right. If you plan
to install your mailbox in a masonry pilaster or column, the flag
can be left off the mailbox and mounted directly on the outside
of the pilaster or column with masonry hardware (not included).
