The Write Protect Switch

One of the main feartures of the Kanguru UltraLock is its physical 

write protect switch. The UltraLock’s physical write protect switch 

enables and disables write capability through the device’s firmware, 

NOT programically through the OS registry as with some other 

devices. 

Enabling and disabling the write protect switch is as simple as setting 

the switch to either the LOCKED or UNLOCKED position.

When set in the LOCKED position, the drive is write protected.

When set in the UNLOCKED position, the drive is write enabled. 

Note: 

The write protect switch will operate in the mode it is set in 

when the device is connected. To change the mode, you must unplug 

the device first, change the switch position and then reconnect.

General Operation

The  Kanguru  UltraLock  runs  off  of  the  generic  USB  Mass  Storage 

Device Driver that comes preinstalled on most operating systems. 

There are no additional drivers or software required to install before 

you can use your device. Simply connect your drive to your computer 

using the provided USB cable. 

The Kanguru QS Mobile operates the fastest when connected through 

a USB3.0 port. Although the Kanguru QS Mobile is backwards 

compatible with USB2.0 and USB1.1, you will get optimal 

performance through USB3.0.
