Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the iStorage datAshur, a PIN activated, hardware encrypted USB flash drive.
The iStorage datAshur uses military grade AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which encrypts all data stored on
the drive in real-time. The datAshur requires no software and is OS and host independent. The datAshur
incorporates a rechargeable battery allowing the user to enter a 7-15 digit PIN (Personal Identification Number)
onto the on-board keypad before connecting the drive to the USB port. Should the drive be lost or stolen, the
user can rest assured that all data held on the datAshur is safe and cannot be accessed by any unauthorised
person.
The datAshur can be created with both User and Admin PINs, making it perfect for corporate and government
deployment.
As the iStorage datAshur is unlocked with the on-board keypad and not with the keyboard, it is not vulnerable to
software/hardware based key-loggers or brute force attacks.

Note: The datAshur rechargeable battery is not fully charged, we
recommend the battery be charged prior to first use. Please plug in the
datAshur drive to a powered USB port for 60 minutes to fully charge the
battery.
