Important Information
• RFID Tag refers to the chip in any of the RFID “keys” included with the RAPiD®
Safe (wristband, 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.

READ THIS FIRST
Warning: NEVER store a loaded firearm in the Hornady Security®RAPiD®Safe
Ready Vault™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 vault 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.

Battery Power Mode
When the RAPiD®Safe is unplugged,
and is operating on battery power, you
must press any button on the keypad
to activate the reader.
Pressing any button on the keypad
causes the system to go from battery
saving mode to ready status.
For example: To open your vault
with an RFID tag, while the system is
running on battery power, first press
any button on the keypad to bring it
to ready status. Place your RFID tag
within 1" of the center of the RFID
reader to open the vault.
Batteries
To install batteries, open door with barrel keys and locate battery compartment on the back
of the door. Remove battery cover and insert four (4) high quality AA batteries. Replace all
batteries at the same time.
To check battery level:
1. Disconnect from AC power source.
2. Press and release “H” button on the
keypad.
3. The LED light on the “H” button will flash.
a. Flashing Green – Good battery
b. Flashing Yellow – Low battery
c. Flashing Red – Dead battery
4. After 10 seconds the vault will return to
normal operation.
NOTE: Replace batteries every twelve
months or as needed.

How to Program Your RFID Tags
Your RAPiD®Safe includes three (3) styles of RFID tags, including:
• 1 Wristband
• 1 Key Fob
• 2 Decals
*Additional styles 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 or a previously programmed RFID
tag or key code. (The vault does not
ship with pre-programmed RFID tags.
A RFID tag must be programmed to
work with this vault.)
2. Locate the red program button. Press
and release the button to begin
programming a RFID tag. The first
available program location will begin
to blink.
3. Hold the RFID tag within 1" of the
illuminated RFID reader area on the
vault door. If the programming was
successful, the vault should beep two times and the available slot should go from
blinking to solid red for approximately ten seconds.
NOTE: If the user attempts to program a RFID tag that is already stored in the vault it
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 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 vault will return to normal operation. If multiple attempts to program a RFID tag
fails, please contact Hornady®at 800-338-3220.
6. One to five RFID tags can be programmed into the vault.

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.
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 also improve the
read distance, but may cause excessive wear, resulting in
a shortened 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 Ready Vault™.
1. Open the RAPiD Safe with either the key, a previously programmed RFID tag, or key
code. The vault 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 door open, enter a 4 to 6 digit code on 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.
4. Your key code can now be used to open the vault.
NOTE: Only one key code can be entered into the vault. If a second code is entered, it
will override the previous code. **A total of 5 RFID tags and 1 key code can be entered
into the vault.
How to Remove All Tags From Vault
1. 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. All five red LEDs will begin to blink in sequence. The
vault 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 instructions above.
NOTE: To abort the erase procedure, press the “H” button on the door of the vault 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 LEDs
will blink three times to visually confirm all RFID tags have been removed. The RFID tags
will no longer work until they are reprogrammed with the instructions in the “How to
Program Your RFID Tags” section.

Closing the Ready Vault
The vault has a latch closure sensor that will illuminate the LED in the keypad when the
door is closed.
Green – Latch has fully closed.
Blinking Red – Latch has NOT fully closed.
To close the vault, hold the door closed while rotating the handle on the front to the
vertical position. Verify green light appears on the keypad.
Installing Gun Racks
on Peg Wall Panels
The metal interior peg wall panels and
included patent pending gun racks are
designed to maximize space and organize
your safe. The dual-purpose gun racks
accommodate up to 8 long guns and 14
handguns by utilizing otherwise empty
space between barrels.
To install gun racks:
Place top hooks into the holes in the peg
wall panel, rotate the gun rack down so
the bottom hooks also enter a peg hole,
and then slide the gun rack down to lock
into place.
To remove gun racks:
Lift the gun rack vertically, rotate the
bottom hooks out of the holes in the peg
wall panels, and then slide top hooks out.
The peg wall panels are compatible with
the Hornady Security Dehumidifiers, LED
Lights, Hygrometer, and other accessories
(sold separately).
