READ THIS FIRST

Warning: NEVER store a loaded ﬁrearm in the Hornady®Security™RAPiD®

safe under any circumstances. The risks associated with storage of a loaded

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 combination code, keys, and RFID tags. You are solely

responsible for maintaining your combination code, keys, and RFID tags. Never

write down your combination code. 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.
