Quick Start Guide
NOTE: if you are using the Aegis Configurator to set up your Padlock DT, First
ensure that the device has the “configurable” logo on the belly label. Also, DO NOT
perform the following Manual Admin and USER PIN SETUP steps below; The Aegis
Configurator will only recognize devices in their factory “out of box” state or devices that have
been completely reset.
Your Aegis Padlock DT is preformatted in NTFS for Windows
®
and is ready for use. For Mac OS
formatting, please refer to the Mac OS formatting instructions on the reverse.To access the Aegis
Padlock DT, connect the drive to a power outlet via the AC Adapter and a USB port using the USB
3.0 cable (this cable is also compatible with USB 2.0).
Each Aegis Padlock DT is shipped without a preset Personal Identification Number (PIN.) To prepare
the drive for use, the user must first establish an Admin PIN that is between 6 and 16 digits in length.
PINs cannot contain all consecutive numbers or all the same numbers
(e.g. 0123456789, 987654321
or 11111111, 22222222, etc.
This Admin PIN is used to set the Padlock DT’s various Admin features and
also serves as the first of five User PINS for the Padlock DT’s standard operation.
1. Plug the Padlock 3 into a USB port and turn power switch to ON.
(
BLUE
and
GREEN

2. Press

simultaneously.
(

3. Enter the PIN to be used as your Admin code and press .
(If PIN is accepted,

GREEN

then will continue blinking as the

4. Quickly re-enter that same PIN once more and press
(
BLUE
LED will turn off momentarily and
GREEN
LED will illuminate for one second until replaced by
the
BLUE
LED glowing solidly, indicating that the Admin PIN has been set and the Padlock 3.0 is in
Admin mode, ready to add another User PIN [see reverse] or for setting up features.)

cancel
(
RED
LED will glow solidly)
or wait 30 seconds and Padlock
3.0 will return to standby mode.

ready for use.
