Once your drive is plugged in and switched on,
a window appears asking you to swipe your fin-
ger over the sensor.
This is the first screen you will see with normal
use. To unlock your LaCie SAFE Hard Drive,
place a registered finger flat in the recess of the
fingerprint sensor. Make sure the top of your
finger touches the top of the recess and slide it
down slowly. For more on how to use the fin-
gerprint sensor see section 3.1.

Fingerprint Sensor

getting the fingerprint sensor to recognize you,
