User`s manual

Adding a User PIN

The Aegis Secure Key can have one Admin and one User, making a total of two working PINs.

Adding a User is a perfect way to securely share the key or deploy it for use where the User does

not require access to the Admin features. While the User has limited functionality and no Admin

rights to the key, they can still access the key’s data, change their PIN, and set the key to Read

Only or Read / Write mode. Note: adding a User PIN can only be done within the Admin mode.

If no additional User beyond the Admin will be added to access the key’s data, disregard this

page’s contents as it relates only to the “User” PIN.

1. Enter the Admin Mode by holding UNLOCK + 0 for ve seconds; With RED LED blinking,

enter the Admin PIN and press the UNLOCK button. The BLUE LED will glow solidly.

2. Press and hold UNLOCK + 1 until the BLUE LED glows solidly and the GREEN LED

starts blinking.

3. Enter the User PIN and press UNLOCK. The GREEN LED will blink three times, then

the BLUE LED will glow solidly and the GREEN LED will continue blinking.

4. Re-enter the same User PIN and press UNLOCK. To verify that the User PIN was suc-

cessfully added, the GREEN LED will glow solidly for three seconds and then will be

replaced by the BLUE LED glowing solidly, indicating that the key has returned to the

Admin mode.

Deleting the User PIN

You can delete the User PIN by doing the following:

1. Enter the Admin mode. (Hold UNLOCK + 0 for ve seconds. With the RED LED blinking,

enter the Admin PIN and press the UNLOCK button.) The BLUE LED will now glow solidly.

2. Press and hold the 7 + 8 buttons for ve seconds. The GREEN LED will blink three times and

then will be followed by the RED and BLUE LEDs blinking alternately.

3. Press and hold the 7 + 8 buttons again for ve seconds. The GREEN LED will glow

solidly for two seconds.

4. The key will return to Admin mode indicated by the BLUE LED glowing solidly.
