Professional instruction on this play is: use your usual "safe" mechanic and verbalize "Safe!" If the batter-runner beats the throw, then he has acquired the base and he is safe. I do nothing different from the play where the BR touches the base before the throw arrives.
If the defense appeals the missed base before BR returns to the base, I will rule on it.
I don't have much use for the FED umpire manual, and I can't find my red book at the moment, sorry.
