User Manual v1.0.8

With so many viruses and Trojans infecting USB drives, the Read-Only feature is especially useful if you need to access data
on the USB drive when used in a public setting. This is also an essential feature for forensic purposes, where data must be
preserved in its original and unaltered state that cannot be modified or overwritten.
When the Administrator configures the datAshur SD and restricts User access to Read-Only, then only the Administrator can
write to the drive or change the setting back to Read/Write as described in section 20. The User is restricted to Read-Only
access and cannot write to the drive or change this setting in User Mode.
19. Set User Read-Only in Admin Mode
To set the datAshur SD and restrict User access to Read-Only, first enter the Admin Mode as described in section 5. Once
the drive is in Admin Mode (solid BLUE LED) proceed with the following steps.
1. In Admin Mode, press and hold down both “7 + 6”
buttons.
Solid BLUE LED will change to blinking GREEN
and BLUE LEDs
2. Press KEY ( ) button
GREEN and BLUE LEDs will change to a solid
GREEN LED and then to a solid BLUE LED
indicating the drive has been configured and
restricts User access to Read-Only
Note: When the datAshur SD 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 SD 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 SD must first be in the Idle State (all LEDs off) before an Admin/User PIN can be entered.
20. Enable User Read/Write in Admin Mode
To set the datAshur SD back to Read/Write, first enter the Admin Mode as described in section 5. Once the drive is in
Admin Mode (solid BLUE LED) proceed with the following steps.
1. In Admin Mode, press and hold down both “7 + 9”
buttons.
Solid BLUE LED will change to blinking GREEN

2. Press KEY ( ) button
GREEN and BLUE LEDs change to a solid
GREEN LED then to a solid BLUE LED
