First-Time Use
Before you begin, ensure that the USB cable is connected, the power cable is connected to
the drive and plugged into an outlet, and the power switch is turned ON.
Each Aegis Padlock DT is shipped without a preset Personal Identication Number (PIN)
installed on the device. A 6- to 16-digit Admin PIN must rst be established before the drive
can be used. This Admin PIN can be used to set any and all of the Admin Mode Features
of the drive, as well as to access its data. Note: PINs can’t be repeating or sequential
numbers such as 0123456, 987654321, or 1111111, 2222222, etc.
To Set Up the Admin PIN:
1. Plug device into USB Port. Both the BLUE and GREEN LEDs will glow steadily.
2. Press + 9 at the same time. The BLUE LED will glow steadily and the GREEN LED
will blink.
3. Enter the series of numbers that you will use for the Admin PIN and press the button.*
4. Re-enter that same PIN and press the button again. The GREEN LED will illuminate for
one second, then replaced by the BLUE LED glowing steadily.
5. The drive is now in Admin mode where Admin features can be set (e.g., adding a User.)
6. To exit the Admin mode, press the CANCEL button. The drive will return to the locked
standby state. If no action is taken within 30 seconds, the drive will return to its locked
sleep state.
* GREEN LED will blink if the PIN is accepted; If the PIN is NOT accepted, the RED LED
will blink-- return to step 4 to resume the Admin PIN setup process.
