Connection Message 1. When you start your computer with the Aegis

Bio attached, the message will read: “Swipe your finger to log on”.

Connection Message 2. When you start your computer without the

Aegis Bio attached, the message will read: “Attach device to Log on”.

Logging on the first time after installation.

Make sure your Aegis Bio is attached to the host system. The Aegis

Bio’s red light will be glowing. The connection message should read

“Swipe your finger to log on”.

1. Swipe one of your enrolled fingers. Once you have successfully

swiped a finger the red light will turn green and the User Credentials

window will pop up.

4. Enter your logon information and click OK to log on.

From now on, as long as your Aegis Bio is attached to your host

system you will only need to swipe your finger to unlock your PC.

Note: You can still access your computer by using the standard

Windows logon.

Accessing your data from another computer

The data on your Aegis Bio can be accessed on PCs or Macs without

having the PStoken software installed. (Check system requirements on

the “Getting to know your Aegis Bio” section to see which models it

will work on.)

1. Plug the Aegis Bio into an open USB port on the host computer.

2. As soon as the drive receives power the red light on the front of the

Aegis Bio will start to glow.

Note: The typical “Fingerprint Swipe” window will not pop up.

3. Immediately swipe a finger that has already been enrolled on the

Aegis Bio.

4. When the red light turns to green the Aegis Bio is ready to use and

you can drag and drop files onto the Aegis Bio like you would any

device. If the red light continues to flash your fingerprint was not

accepted and you will need to reswipe your finger to unlock the drive.

5. The Aegis Bio can be disconnected the same way you would any USB

device. For a detailed explanation go the Disconnecting section of this

user guide.
