Using My Device – Features

Accessing My Secure Files

After unlocking the device, you can access your secure files. Files are automatically encrypted and

decrypted when you save or open them on the drive. This technology gives you the convenience

of working as you normally would with a regular drive, while providing strong, “always-on” security.

Toaccess your secure files:

Click Files on menu bar of the IronKeyControl Panel.

•

Windows: Opens WindowsExplorerto the IRONKEYSECUREFILESUSB drive.

•

macOS:Opens Finder to the KINGSTONUSB drive.

Do one of the following:

•

Toopen a file, double-click the file on the S1000BUSB drive.

•

Tosave a file,drag the file fromyour computerto the S1000BUSBdrive.

Hint: You can also access your files by right-clicking the IronKey Icon in the Windows taskbar

and clicking Secure Files.

Unlocking In Read-Only Mode

Youcan unlock your device in a read-only state so that files cannot be altered on your secure drive.

For example, when using an untrusted or unknown computer, unlocking your device in Read-Only

Mode will prevent any malware on that computer from infecting your device or modifying your files.

When working in this mode, the IronKey Control Panel will display the text Read-Only Mode. In

this mode, you cannot perform any operations that involve modifying files on the device. For

example, you cannot reformat the device, restore applications or edit the Applications List, or edit

files on the drive.

Tounlock the device in Read-Only Mode:

Insertthe deviceintotheUSBport of the host computer andruntheIronKey.exe.

Checkthe Read-Only Checkbox below the password entry box.

Type your device password and click Unlock. The IronKey Control Panel will appear with the

text Read-Only Mode at the bottom.

Changing The Unlock Message

The Unlock Message is custom text that displays in the IRONKEY window when you unlock the

device. This feature allows you to customize the message that displays. For example, adding

contact information will display information on how a lost drive can be returned to you.

Tochange the Unlock Message:

In the IronKey Control Panel, click Settings on the menu bar.

Click Preferences in the left sidebar.

Type the message text in the Unlock Message field. The text must fit in the space provided

(approximately7 lines and 200 characters).



Locking The Device

Lock your device when you are not using it to prevent unwanted access to your secure files on the

drive. You can manually lock the device or you can set the device to automatically lock after a

specified period of inactivity.

Caution: By default, if a file or application is open when the device tries to auto-lock, it will not

forcethe application or file to close. Although you can configure the auto-lock setting to forcethe

device to lock,doing so can result in loss of data to any open and unsaved files.

If your files have become corrupt from a forced lock procedure or from unplugging the device

before locking, you might be able to recover the files by running CHKDSK and using data recovery

software (Windowsonly).

Tomanually lock the device:

Click Lock in the bottom left-handcorner ofthe IronKeyControl Panelto safely lock your

device.

You can also use the keyboard shortcut: CTRL + L (Windows only), or right-click the

IronKey Icon in the system tray and click Lock Device.

Toset a deviceto automatically lock:

Unlock your device and click Settings on the menu barin the IronKey Control Panel.

Click Preferences in the left sidebar.

Click the Checkbox for auto-locking the device and set the time-out to one of the following

time intervals: 5, 15, 30, 60, 120, or 180 minutes.

Torun CHKDSK (Windows only):

Unlock the device.

Press the WINDOWS LOGO KEY + R to open the Run prompt:

TypeCMD and press ENTER.

From the command prompt, type CHKDSK, the IRONKEYSECUREFILES USB drive letter, then

CHKDSK G: /F /R

Use data recovery software if necessary in order to recover your files.

Typing Passwords With The Virtual Keyboard (Windows Only)

If you are unlocking your device on an unfamiliar computer and are concerned about keylogging

and screen logging spyware, use the Virtual Keyboard. It helps protect your device password by

letting you click out letters and numbers using your mouse and the virtual keyboard. The

underlying techniques in the Virtual Keyboard will bypass many trojans, keyloggers, and screen

loggers.

Note: This featureuses a standard QWERTY keyset. It is available on Windows only and the language

preference forthe device must be set to English.
