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.

READ THIS FIRST
Warning: NEVER store a loaded firearm in the Hornady Security®
RAPiD®Safe Night Guard™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

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

How to Program Your RFID Tags
Your RAPiD®Safe includes three (3) styles of RFID tags, including:
• 1 Watchband Tag
• 1 Key Fob
• 2 Decals
*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 drawer on the back
wall. 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 (clock display) on the drawer front If the
programming was successful, the safe 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 safe 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 clock
display with the drawer 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 fails, 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
RFID Decal Decal in Use
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 Remove All Tags From Safe
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 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, press the “H” button on the
drawer of the safe 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.
How to Program Your Key Code
A single user-defined 4 to 6 digit code can be entered into the
RAPiD®Safe Night Guard.
™
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 to begin programming your key code.
The first available tag location will begin to blink to indicate
program mode.
3. With the drawer 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 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.

Securing Your Safe
To maintain the security of the
safe either use the included
security cable or bolt the safe to
a secure structure.
Using the Security Cable
Wrap the security cable around
a secure object and place the
ferrule end through the loop in
the cable. With the drawer open,
snap the narrowest diameter
of the ferrule into the back of
the safe by gently pushing the
ferrule end against the spring plate
and sliding the ferrule down. As the
drawer closes, it presses against
the spring plate and locks the
ferrule in place.
To remove the security cable, open
the safe and press the pin above
the ferrule while lifting the ferrule.
Bolting Down the Safe
Remove the drawer by gently
pulling it out while pressing the
plastic tab on the left side up and
the tab on the right side down. Note
the small electrical wire that runs
from the back of the safe to the
back of the drawer.
CAUTION: Do not pull or pinch the
cable as it may damage the wiring.
Mark and pre-drill holes before
installing the appropriate fasteners
for your application.
Reinstall the drawer by aligning the drawer slides with the slides on the
housing. Before pushing the drawer into the housing, verify that the electrical
wire connection is safely inside the housing and will not be pinched as the
drawer is closed.
