Sony FIU-810 - Manual (Page 23)

Accessing Files on Your FIU-810 Unit
Once you have set up your private storage area on the device as outlined in Section 3, two
removable drives (with separate drive letters) will be displayed in My Computer. You can
choose to name these drives, if you wish. The private storage area is displayed as an empty disk
drive on your PC. After unlocking, the private storage area can be used (‘mounts’) as a normal
disk drive.
Your private drive will be locked automatically after you unplug the Puppy unit or power down
your PC. You can unlock your private storage area via User Manager, or you can also unlock it
by verifying your fingerprint when the Puppy unit is connected to the PC.

Accessing the Private Storage Area: Unlock through Direct Fingerprint Verification
With the method below, you can actually access files stored on your private storage area on your
PC as well as non-Puppy Suite software enabled PCs and computers using the Mac OS X and
Linux operating systems. No software installation is required. Note that you will need to have
registered your authentication information (fingerprint/password) with the User Manager
software beforehand.
1. When you connect the Puppy unit to a computer, the orange LED will start flashing on
the unit.
2. Simply place your finger on the sensor. (No dialog box will appear to prompt you to
verify your finger.)
3. If fingerprint authentication succeeds, the flashing light will disappear, and you can
access the private storage area. (If the orange LED is not flashing, the private storage area
has not been set or it has already been unlocked.)
If fingerprint authentication fails, the orange LED will continue to flash. Please place your finger
on the sensor again.
