in User Mode (solid GREEN LED) proceed with the following steps.
Important: Changing the User PIN must comply with the ‘User PIN Policy’ if one has been configured as
described in section 8, which imposes a minimum PIN length and whether a ‘Special Character’ has been
used. The administrator can refer to section 10 to check the user PIN restrictions.
Note: When the datAshur PRO
2
is in Admin Mode, the BLUE LED will remain on and solid for 30 seconds only,
during which time the drive can accept instructions via the keypad allowing it to be configured with a host of security
features. If no key event happens within 30 seconds, the datAshur PRO
2
will exit Admin mode automatically - the
solid BLUE LED switches to a solid RED LED which then fades out to the Idle state (all LEDs off).
To immediately exit Admin Mode (solid BLUE LED), press and hold down the SHIFT ( ) button for a second - the
solid BLUE LED switches to a solid RED LED which then fades out to the Idle state. To access the drive contents
(data), the datAshur PRO
2
must first be in the idle state (all LEDs off) before an Admin/User PIN can be entered.
To unlock with the User PIN, the datAshur PRO
2
must first be in Standby State (solid RED LED) by pressing and holding
down the SHIFT ( ) button for one second.
