wireless key receiver with the wireless key to unlock.

Turn the drive upside down and open the lid, then press the
CANCEL button, using a thin tool, such as the point of a
pen.

second, then the UNLOCK indicator lights.

Tip
• If you want to use the security function again, you must register the wireless keys again
(page 16).
• The personal computer illustration in this manual may appear different from your
model.
Note
If you leave the hard disk drive unattended when the security is deactivated, not only is
your data unprotected, but someone could also register other wireless keys (not yours) to
the hard disk drive. It is recommended that you enable the security function whenever you
leave the hard disk drive unattended.
