Setting Read-Only or Read / Write
modes from Admin Mode
With a large number of viruses and Trojans that attach themselves to USB keys, this feature
is especially useful if you need to access data on the key 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 key to a Read-Only mode for both the Admin and the User. When set
by the Admin, the Admin is the only one that can change the key back to Read / Write mode.
When the key is unlocked in Read-Only mode and inserted into a USB port, the GREEN
LED will glow solidly and the RED LED will blink once every three seconds.
To set the Key to Read-Only:
1. Enter the Admin mode. (Hold 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 the r + o (7 + 6) buttons together for three seconds.
The GREEN LED will blink three times.
3. The key will return to Admin mode. The BLUE LED will glow solidly.
4. Until changed, the key can only be read.
To return the Key to Read / Write:
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 glow solidly.
2. Press and hold the r + w (7+ 9) buttons together; the GREEN LED will blink three times.
3. The key will return to Admin mode, indicated by the BLUE LED glowing solidly and the key
will be restored to its normal Read / Write condition.
Important Note
Setting the key to Read/Write from the Admin mode will globally override a Read-
Only mode that has been set by the User.
