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 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.

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 storedinto 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.

1. 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.
2. 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 to program an RFID tag fail, please contact Hornady at 800-338-3220.
3. 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 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.
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.

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.
2. 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.
3. (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.

1. 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.
2. 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

1. The safe has a latch closure sensor that will illuminate the LED in the keypad when the lid is closed.
2. Green – Latch has fully closed.
3. Blinking Red – Latch has NOT fully closed.
4. Press lid to close or re-open and check for interference.

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.

• 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

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.
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.
