Important Information
• RFID Tag refers to the chip in any of the RFID “keys” included with the
RAPiD®Safe (RFID watchband tag, key fob or decals). You may also
purchase additional RFID tags.
• For trouble-free operation of your RAPiD®Safe, please read and
understand all instructions before use.
• Questions? Call our tech line at 800-338-3220.
• Never store loaded firearms in the RAPiD®Safe. Follow local laws for
firearm storage.
READ THIS FIRST
Warning: NEVER store a loaded firearm in a Hornady Security®
RAPiD®Safe under any circumstances. The risks associated with storage
of a loaded firearm include, but are not limited to, unintentional discharge
upon insertion or removal of the firearm. Unintentional discharge may
result in bullet and safe fragments dispersing in multiple directions, which
may cause serious injury or death. Hornady Security®is not liable for any
misuse of the RAPiD®Safe.
Warning: No safe is entirely secure. The RAPiD®Safe is only as secure
as your maintenance of the keys, code and RFID tags. You are solely
responsible for maintaining your keys, code and RFID tags. Keep your keys
and RFID tags in a secure location at all times. Store your RAPiD®Safe in a
secure location away from your keys and RFID tags. Hornady Security®
is not liable for unauthorized access, including damage to, or loss of
property, or personal injury. Again, NEVER store a loaded firearm in your
Hornady®RAPiD®Safe, as this may result in unauthorized access to the
loaded firearm.
Warning: Except as expressly provided in the RAPiD®Safe Limited
Warranty, Hornady Security®is not liable for any expense or damage
associated with your inability to open the RAPiD®Safe. Electronic systems
may fail. Verify that the keys furnished operate the lock. Keep your keys in a
secure location at all times. For your security, Hornady Security®WILL NOT
send replacement keys.
Warning: Hornady Security®is not liable for any loss, theft, or damage to
personal property. The RAPiD®Safe is not intended to protect the contents
from fire, water, humidity, or other environmental conditions. Do not, under
any circumstances, return the RAPiD®Safe to Hornady Security®with any
personal property inside.

RAPiD®Safe Setup and Operation
To achieve the best experience with your RAPiD®Safe, please read all instructions
carefully, and understand its operation before securing valuables inside the safe.
Open Safe with Key
Before setting up your safe please verify both circular barrel keys fit and unlock your safe.
Contact Hornady®at 800-338-3220 if the keys do not work. Store keys in a secure location
outside the safe.
Batteries
Open the safe with the mechanical override key. Remove
the battery cover inside the door. Insert 4 AA batteries
and replace the battery cover. Do not close the door
before testing digital lock.
NOTE: Replace all batteries at the same time.
How to Program Your RFID Tags
Your RAPiD®Safe includes two (2) styles of RFID tags,
including one Watchband Tag and one Decal
*Additional styles can be purchased separately.
The RAPiD®Safe can store up to five tags.
To program these tags:
1. Open the RAPiD®Safe with either the key or a previously
programmed RFID tag or key code. The safe does not
ship with pre-programmed RFID tags. A RFID tag must
be programmed to work with this safe.
2. Locate the red program button inside the safe. Press
and release the button to begin programming a RFID
tag. The internal light will blink during program mode.
3. Hold the RFID tag within 1-inch of the RFID reader
area on the keypad front. If the programming was
successful, the safe should blink and beep two times.
NOTE: If the user attempts to program a RFID tag that
is already stored in the safe, it will beep three times
and exit program mode.
4. Verify the RFID tag is programmed by holding the tag
over the RFID reader with the door open. The motor
should cycle after each scan.
5. If the RFID tag is not programmed, the program
function will time out after ten seconds and the safe
will return to normal operation. If multiple attempts
to program a RFID tag fail, please contact Hornady®
at 800-338-3220.
6. One to five RFID tags can be programmed into
the safe.

NOTE: Due to potential interference from the body
(attenuation), the RFID watchband tag should be worn
on the outside or bottom of the wrist and may need to be
brought within 1-inch of the reader to activate the safe.
The RFID reader will likely not read through the wrist.
NOTE: The RFID decal can be placed on a variety
of objects. However, metal surfaces may cause
interference and reduce the read distance. The
integrated metal housing on some cell phones combined
with potential interference from other wireless signals
such as Bluetooth, NFC, etc., may reduce the read
distance of the RFID decal.
Before adhering the RFID decal to a mobile phone, we
recommend trying different locations on the back of the
device to find the optimum read distance. Placing the
decal on the outside of an accessory cover will improve
the read distance, but may result in excessive wear and
shorten the life of the decal. When placing the decal on
the inside of an accessory cover, DO NOT face it toward
the mobile phone. The decal must face outward (away
from the phone) to work optimally.
Before placing the RAPiD Safe into service, verify the
decal works properly under various conditions (i.e. the
wireless apps on your mobile phone are on).
How to Program Your Key Code
A single user-defined 4 to 6 digit code can be entered into the RAPiD®Safe Keypad Vault.
1. Open the RAPiD Safe with either the key, a previously programmed RFID tag, or key code.
The safe ships with a default code and should be reprogrammed before first use.
2. Locate the red program button inside the safe to begin programming your key code. Press
and release the program button to begin the program mode.
3. Enter a 4 to 6 digit code on the keypad. Press the program button after entering your code
to confirm. Verify your code is correct by reentering your code and waiting for the motor
to cycle.
4. Your key code can now be used to open the safe.
NOTE: Only one key code can be entered into the safe. If a second code is entered, it will
override the previous code. **A total of five RFID tags and one key code can be entered
into the safe.

How to Remove All Tags From Safe
Open the RAPiD®Safe with either the key, a previously programmed RFID tag, or key code.
Locate the red program button. Press and hold the button for five seconds to erase all
previously programmed tags. The interior light will rapidly blink.
NOTE: The safe does not allow individual tags to be removed. They must all be erased at
one time. The intended RFID tags can then be reprogrammed with the “How to Program
Your RFID Tags” section.
NOTE: To abort the erase procedure, do not touch anything and the erase procedure will
automatically abort after 10 seconds and return to normal operation. Test RFID tags and the
key code to confirm they are operational.
To confirm erasing procedure, press and release the program button again. The interior
light will blink three times to visually confirm all RFID tags have been removed. The RFID
tags will no longer work until they are reprogrammed according to the instructions in the
“How to Program Your RFID Tags” section.
Keypad Tones On/Off
To toggle sound on and off, press and hold the “1” button on keypad for 3 seconds until the
light turns off.
Securing Your Safe
To maintain the security of the safe, bolt the safe to a secure structure.
Record the serial number and key number in the space provided in this user manual
before securing the safe.
Bolting Down the Safe
• Open the safe and remove the foam liner from the bottom of the safe.
