Setting Read-Only or Read / Write
modes from Admin Mode
With a large number of viruses and Trojans that attach themselves to USB devices, this
feature is especially useful if you need to access data on the drive when used in a public
setting. Additionally, Read-Only is an important feature for forensic applications, where data
must be preserved in its original, unaltered state and can’t be overwritten or modied.
The Admin can set the drive to a Read-Only mode for both the Admin and the Users. When
set by the Admin, the Admin is the only one that can change the drive back to Read / Write
mode.
When the drive is unlocked in Read-Only mode, the GREEN LED will glow steadily and the
RED LED will blink once every three seconds.
To set the Drive to Read-Only:
1. Enter the Admin mode. (Hold + 0 for ve seconds – with RED LED blinking, enter the
Admin PIN and press the button.) The BLUE LED will glow steadily.
2. Press and hold the r + o (7 + 6) buttons together for three seconds.
The GREEN LED will blink three times.
3. The drive will return to Admin mode. The BLUE LED will glow steadily.
4. Until changed, the drive can only be read.
To return the Drive to Read / Write:
1. Enter the Admin mode. (Hold + 0 for ve seconds – with the RED LED blinking, enter
the Admin PIN and press the button.) The BLUE LED will glow steadily.
2. Press and hold the r + w (7+ 9) buttons together; the GREEN LED will blink three times.
3. The drive will return to Admin mode, indicated by the BLUE LED glowing steadily and the
drive restored to its normal Read / Write condition.
Important Note
Setting the drive to Read/Write from the Admin mode will globally override a
Read-Only mode that has been set by a User.
