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
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 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
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.

RAPiD® Safe Setup and Operation
Congratulations on purchasing the technologically advanced RAPiD® Safe. You have taken a significant step in securing the safety of your handgun.
To achieve the best experience with your RAPiD® Safe, please read all instructions carefully, and understand its operation.
After the RAPiD® Safe has been taken out of the box, please check to be sure both circular barrel keys fit and unlock your RAPiD® Safe. Contact Hornady® at 800-338-3220 if the keys do not work. Store keys in a secure location outside the safe.
AC Power
The RAPiD® Safe is designed to be powered by either the AC power supply or
four AA batteries.
To connect the AC power supply, first open the safe with the circular key.
Locate the square hole in the back of the safe and insert the power cord into
this hole. Route the power cord under the foam and toward the front of the
safe. Plug the power cord into the jack on the back of the door. Use the
integrated cord hook in the door to help retain the power cord.
Keypad Tones On/Off
Press and hold the “H” button on the keypad for 5 seconds until the light
turns off to toggle sound on and off.
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:
-
Disconnect from AC power source.
-
Press and release “H” button on the lid.
-
The LED light on the “H” button will flash.
a. Flashing Green Good battery
b. Flashing Yellow Low battery
c. Flashing Red Dead battery -
After 10 seconds the safe will return to normal operation.
NOTE: Replace batteries every twelve months or if they become weak.
Battery Power Mode
When the RAPiD® Safe is unplugged, and is operating on battery power, you must
press any button on the lid to activate the reader.
Pressing any button on the lid causes the system to go from battery saving mode to ready status.
For example: To open your safe with an RFID tag, while the system is running on battery power, first press any button on the lid to bring it to ready status. Place your RFID tag within 1″ of the center of the RFID reader to open the safe.
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 5 tags. To program these tags:
-
Open the RAPiD Safe with either the key or a previously programmed RFID tag or key code. (The key code safe does not ship with preprogramed RFID tags. A RFID tag must be programmed to work with this safe.)
-
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.
-
Hold the RFID tag within 1″ of the illuminated RFID reader area on the top of the safe lid. 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 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. -
Verify the RFID tag is programmed by holding the tag over the RFID reader with the lid open. The motor should cycle after each scan.
-
If the RFID tag does not program into the safe, 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.
-
One to five RFID tags can be programmed into the safe.
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.
-
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.
-
Locate the red program button to begin programming your key code. The first available tag location will begin to blink to indicate program mode.
-
With the lid open, enter a 4 to 6 digit code into the keypad on the lid. Press the “H” after
entering your code. Verify your code is correct by re-entering your code and pressing “H”. The motor should cycle. -
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 5 RFID tags and 1 key code can be entered into the safe.
How to Remove All Tags From Safe
- 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 lid 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.
- 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. 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.
To close the safe, hold the door closed while rotating the lock knob on the
front to the “locked” position. Verify green light appears on the keypad.
Security Cable
The RAPiD® Safe includes a security cable that can be looped around a
stationary object. With the door open, feed the lug end through the loop end
of the cable and then insert the threads of the lug into one of the round
holes on the back of the safe. Thread the washer and nut onto the lug from the
inside of the safe and tighten firmly.
Door Dampener Removal
If mounting the safe in a vertical or upright position, the door dampener
should be removed to allow the door to open more freely.
Using a small pliers, remove the cotter pin and press the clevis pin out of
the clevis to release the door dampener.
NOTE: When mounted in the upright position (door on top), the lock will
release with activation, but the door must be manually lifted open. In the
horizontal or vertical position, the springs in the door should begin to open
the door after activation.
