6. If desired, encrypt the destination drive.
7. Using the Duplication feature, clone the legacy unlocked source to the new

destination. This will decrypt the data with the legacy encryption as it reads from the

source, and store the decrypted data on the destination.

8. Once this duplication completes, your new destination contains the evidence from the

source drive. If you want to put this data back on that drive, you can re-encrypt that

drive and duplicate the data back into it from the new copy. If the new copy is

encrypted, it can be unlocked as a source from Disk Info (not the legacy unlock

option)

5.2 Replacing the backup battery for the

real-time clock

The TD2u uses a real-time clock (RTC) with a backup battery. The battery has a shelf life

of 12-18 months. If you use the TD2u regularly, expect the battery to last longer than 18

months. As the battery discharges, the TD2u displays a low battery warning message.
This section provides an illustrated procedure for replacing the RTC backup battery.

5.2.1 Compatible batteries

The TD2u uses an ANSI/NEDA type 5012LC battery. The following table lists three

common batteries compatible with the TD2u.

Manufacturer

Model #

Duracell

DL1220

Energizer

CR1220

Rayovac

CR1220

5.2.2 Replacing the battery

It is necessary to open the TD2u case in order to replace the battery. You need a #1

Phillips screwdriver to open the TD2u case and a small flat-blade screwdriver to remove

the battery.
The following procedure provides the steps for replacing the battery:
1. Disconnect all the power supply and all cables from the TD2u before opening the

TD2u case. Never connect the power supply or operate the TD2u with the case

open.
