Warning: NEVER store a loaded firearm in the Hornady Security®RAPiD®
Vehicle Safe under any circumstances. The risks associated with storage of

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.

6. One to five RFID tags can be programmed
into the safe.
WARNING: After programming, confirm all
RFID tags are either programmed or not. All
programmed RFID tags must be kept in a safe
place to prevent use from unauthorized users.
How to Program Your
RFID Tags
Your RAPiD®Safe includes three (3) styles
of RFID tags, including:
• 1 Adjustable Wristband
• 1 Key Fob
• 2 Decals
*Additional RFID tags can be purchased
separately.
The RAPiD®Safe can store up to 5 tags.
To program these tags:
1. Open the RAPiD Safe with either the
key, an RFID tag previously programmed
by the user or the key code. (The safe
does not ship with pre-programmed
RFID tags. An RFID tag must be
programmed by the user to work with
this safe.)
2. Locate the red program button. Press
and release the button to begin
programming an RFID tag. The first
available program location will begin to
blink.
3. Hold the RFID tag no more than 1-inch
from the illuminated RFID reader in
the center of the top panel. If the
programming was successful, the safe
should beep two times and the available
slot should go from blinking to solid red
for approximately 10 seconds.
NOTE: If the user attempts to program
an RFID tag that is already stored
into the safe, the safe will beep three
times and the RFID tag will not be
programmed into the duplicate slot. The
RFID tag can only be programmed into
one location.
4. Verify the RFID tag is programmed by
holding the tag over the RFID reader
with the safe open. The motor should
cycle after each scan.
5. If the RFID tag does not program into the
safe, the program function will time out
after 10 seconds and the safe will return
to normal operation. If multiple attempts
NOTE: The RFID chip is located in the bulge of the
wristband near the clasp. It is designed to be worn on
the bottom of the wrist for maximum read distance.

How to Program Your
Key Code
A single user-defined 4 to 6 digit code can
be programmed into the RAPiD®Safe.
1. Open the RAPiD Safe with either the key
or 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 to begin
programming your key code. The first
available tag location will begin to blink
to indicate program mode.
3. With the safe open, enter a 4- to 6-digit
code into the keypad. Press the “H”
after entering your code. Verify your
code is correct by re-entering your
code and pressing “H.” The motor
should cycle.

How to Remove All RFID Tags From Safe
1. Open the RAPiD®Safe with either
the key or a previously programmed
RFID tag or key code. Locate the red
program button. Press and hold the
button for five seconds to erase all
tags from the safe. All five red LEDs
will begin to blink in sequence. (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 back into the
safe with the instructions above.)
NOTE: To abort the erase procedure,
press the “H” button on the keypad, or
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.
2. To confirm erasing procedure, press
and release the program button again.
All five LED lights will blink three times
to visually confirm all RFID tags have
been removed. All RFID tags will no
longer work until they are programmed
back into the safe with the instructions
in the “How to Program Your RFID
Tags” section.
Closing the Safe
The safe has a latch closure sensor that will illuminate the LED in the keypad when
the lid is closed.
Green – Latch has fully closed.
Blinking Red – Latch has NOT fully closed.
Press lid to close or re-open and check for interference.
4. Your key code can now be used to open
the safe.
NOTE: Only one key code can be
programmed into the safe. If you attempt
to program a second code, the previous
code will be overwritten. A total of
5 RFID tags and 1 key code can be
programmed into the safe.

The vehicle mounting system includes a large mounting plate that can be wedged between
the seat and center console or between two seats in the vehicle. The inflatable air bladder
allows the mounting plate to adjust to nearly any seat gap and provide a firm mounting
location for the Vehicle Safe without modifying the vehicle.
Installing the Vehicle Safe to the Mounting System
Determine if the Vehicle Safe will be placed on the driver or passenger side of the vehicle.
Then loop the security cable around a solid anchor system near the desired mounting
location. The seat frame is typically the most accessible anchor point.
The Vehicle Safe attaches to the mounting plate
using two clamping rings. The safe ships with
one ring already attached to the back of the safe.
To attach the security cable, remove the one bolt
and nut on the clamp ring near the mounting post
with a gap. Place eye of cable ferrule between
the safe and clamp ring and replace bolt and nut.
The mounting plate is designed to wedge between
the seat and center console. The inflatable
bladder is meant to take up the space between
the seat and mounting plate so the mounting
plate is held firmly against the center console.

Install the safe onto the mounting plate by
aligning the two clamp rings with the pins on the
mounting plate and tighten the four screws.
NOTE: The safe can be tilted forward or
back by adjusting the clamp rings BEFORE
installing the screws.
Once the safe is mounted, slide the mounting
plate between the seat and center console.
Make sure the door of the safe can open
without interfering with the seat.
Inflate the air bladder by turning the
control valve clockwise and then
squeezing the inflater bulb
until the mounting
system is firmly
in place.
• Verify the air bladder is positioned onto the
mounting plate so it will inflate against the seat.
It may need to be rotated around the mounting
plate depending on if the safe will go on the
driver or passenger side of the vehicle.
• To rotate the air bladder, release all air in
the bladder by turning the control valve
counterclockwise.
• Slide the fabric cover back to expose the air
bladder on the mounting plate. Rotate the air
bladder around the mounting plate until the
inflatable air bladder is on the correct side.
• Slide fabric cover back over the air bladder.
• Begin by verifying the inflatable bladder is on
the seat side of the mounting plate by closing
the valve on the hand pump and gently inflating
the air bladder.
WARNING:
a. Do not overinflate
the air bladder.
b. The air bladder should
be inflated just enough
to hold the mounting
system in place.
c. Make sure the mounting system does not move even during hard braking by testing in a
controlled environment.
Verify system works as expected before storing a firearm or other valuables inside the safe.
