Deactivating the security function

If you want to deactivate the security function of the hard disk drive, follow
the steps.

1

Connect the hard disk drive to the computer and touch the
wireless key receiver with the wireless key to unlock.

2

Press the CANCEL button using a pointed object, such as
ball-point pen.

The LOCK and UNLOCK indicator flash alternately for one second,
then the UNLOCK indicator lights.

The security function is deactivated. When you connect the hard disk drive
to the computer using the USB cable next time, you can use the hard disk
drive without the wireless key.

Tip

If you want to use the security function again, you must register the wireless keys again
(page 12).

Notes

• If you leave the hard disk drive unattended when the security is deactivated, not only is

your data unguarded, but someone could register other wireless keys (not yours) to the
hard disk drive. It is recommended that you enable the security function whenever you
leave the hard disk drive unattended.

• Even if you press the CANCEL button while the ACCESS indicator is flashing, the

security is not deactivated. Be sure that the ACCESS indicator goes out before pressing
the CANCEL button.
