About the Aegis Secure Key 3.0
PINs must be a minimum of seven
digits and a maximum of 16 digits.
Cannot contain all sequential
numbers (e.g., 01234567, 9876543)
and cannot contain all of the same
number (e.g., 1111111, 2222222.)
Note: Sequentially, 0 occurs before 1, not after 9.
PIN Requirements
Important:
With its ash key size, the Aegis Secure Key also
has relatively small buttons. For greater ease and
better control of key commands, enter all PINs and
command codes onto the Secure Key’s keypad
PRIOR to plugging the device into the USB port for
use. Failure to do so may damage the USB port and
cause the key to not function properly.
Battery Note
The Aegis Secure Key has an internal
rechargeable battery with a smart-charging
circuit. For safety, each key ships with a partial
charge. Before initial use, we recommend
plugging the key into a powered USB port for
80 minutes to fully charge the battery. The
battery will automatically charge whenever it is
plugged into a powered USB port, regardless of
its operational mode. In standby mode, the RED
LED fades in and out slowly to indicate that it’s
charging and glows solid RED to indicate that
it’s fully charged. If the battery is completely
discharged, the key will go through a self-test
(indicated by a RED, GREEN, and BLUE LED
sequence) when plugged into a USB port.
Note: It’s normal for this device to
be warm to the touch during use.
First-Time Use
Each Aegis Secure Key is shipped without a preset Personal Identication Number (PIN)
installed on the key. A 7 to 16-digit Admin PIN must be established before the key can be
used. This Admin PIN can be used to set any and all of the Admin Mode Features of the key,
as well as to access the key’s data.
NOTE: if you are using the Aegis Congurator to set up your Aegis Secure Key or
any other Apricorn secure drive, rst ensure that the device to be congured has
the “congurable” logo on the belly label and second, DO NOT perform any of the
the following Manual Admin and USER PIN SETUP steps below; The Aegis Congurator will
execute these setup steps and will only recognize devices in their factory “out of box” state
or devices that have been completely reset.
To Set Up the Admin PIN:
1. Wake up the key by pressing the UNLOCK button. Both the BLUE and GREEN LEDs will
glow solidly.
2. Press UNLOCK + 9 at the same time. The BLUE LED will glow solidly and the GREEN
LED will be blinking.
3. Enter the series of numbers that you will use for the Admin PIN (See PIN requirements on p.
4) and press the UNLOCK button.*
4. Re-enter that same PIN and press the UNLOCK button again. The GREEN LED will
illuminate for one second followed by the BLUE LED glowing solidly by itself.
5. The key is now in Admin mode and other Admin features can be set (e.g., adding a User.)
6. To exit the Admin mode, press the LOCK button. The key will return to the locked standby
state. If no action is taken within 30 seconds, the key will return to its locked sleep state.
* GREEN LED will blink if the PIN is accepted; If the PIN is NOT accepted, the RED LED
will blink-- return to step 4 to resume the Admin PIN setup process.
CONFIGURABLE
Waking the Key
When the key is not in use, it will enter a sleep state. While in this state, the key is locked and
cannot be accessed.
To wake the key so it can accept keypad inputs, press the UNLOCK button once. The RED
LED will glow solidly (standby state.)
Note: If the key has never been used, the BLUE and GREEN LEDs will glow solidly indicating
that the Admin PIN must rst be established before the key can be used.
Admin Mode
To set up any of the key’s Admin functions, the Admin mode must rst be entered. Once in the
Admin mode, each of the key’s functions can be addressed with the appropriate button com-
mands. While in the Admin mode, the data on the key will not be accessible.
Prior to your rst use of the Aegis Secure Key, you must rst set an Admin PIN. Immediately
after setting up your Admin PIN, you may then continue setting up other functions. If you do
nothing for a period of 30 seconds, the key will revert to its standby state.
To re-enter the Admin mode, perform the following steps below.
1. Press and hold UNLOCK + 0 for ve seconds until the RED LED blinks.
(This indicates that you can enter the Admin PIN.)
2. Enter the Admin PIN and press the UNLOCK button.
3. Admin Mode is indicated by a solid BLUE LED.
4. To exit the Admin Mode, either allow 30 seconds of inactivity or
press the LOCK button.
