This section applies only to ToughTech models with WriteLock or WriteProtect.

“Protect” in WriteProtect models, and “Lock” in WriteLock models).
While continuing to hold down the button, provide power to the unit.

on the drive cannot be deleted or altered.

With WriteLock, you can prevent the data on ToughTech from being altered when ToughTech
changes hands. By adding evidence tape over ToughTech’s chassis screws, you’ll be able to tell if the
unit has been opened. Thus, you’ll know if the write-protect mode could have been changed while
ToughTech was in another person’s possession.
