Diagnostic Mode

The keypad has a manual diagnostic mode built-in to verify proper keypad 

function and troubleshooting key issues. This mode will not allow access to 

any data or admin function. It can only be used to identify the firmware level 

and to test button recognition. 
To enter the diagnostic function:

1. 

From standby mode, press 

 + 1

, release, then press and continue to 

hold the

 0 

button

 

as the 

RED 

and

 

BLUE 

LEDs blink alternately. Once all 

three LEDs illuminate steadily, release the 

button.

2. 

The 

BLUE 

LED will blink a number of times to represent the number of 

both the major and minor revisions. The decimal point will be represented 

by a single 

RED

 LED blink. Upon completion, the 

BLUE 

LED will glow 

steadily. 

(Example:

 

VERSION 4.1 

would be indicated by four 

BLUE

 LED 

blinks, one 

RED

 LED blink, one 

BLUE

 LED blink, and one 

RED

 LED blink, 

then revert to the 

BLUE 

LED glowing steadily.) 

3. 

To check the keypad’s button functionality, press each button and 

the number of the button pressed will be expressed by the 

RED

 LED 

blinking. (Example: 

1

 

Button

= 1 blink, 

2

 

Button 

= 2 blinks, 

3

 

Button 

= 3 blinks...

0 Button

 = 10 blinks,   

Button

 = 11 blinks,   

Button

 = 12 

blinks.)

4. 

To exit the Diagnostic Mode, wait for the 20 second timeout or hold the 

 Button

 for ~7 seconds to return the key to its normal operation.

Self-Diagnostics:

During the initial power up, after the drive has been plugged into a USB 

port, the drive will perform self-diagnostics on the encryption algorithm and 

critical hardware components. If the 

RED 

LED blinks at a rate of one blink 

per second for 15 seconds, returns to standby and will not unlock, unplug 

the drive from USB port and try again. If the 

RED 

LED continues to blink in 

the manner mentioned above and won’t unlock upon USB re-insertion, a 

critical component has failed and the drive can no longer function. 
If the drive blinks a triple-

RED

 LED pattern that is repeated every two 

seconds when unlocked, a failure has occurred that will not immediately 

stop the device from working nor affect the security of the device, but 

should be considered as a warning that the device needs to be replaced in 

the near future. Additionally, Admin features may be limited in this mode. 
If either condition should appear, remove the drive from the USB port and 

allow the drive to go to sleep, and try to unlock the drive again. The event 

of either diagnostic failure will be very rare, but if the drive cannot recover, 

it must be replaced.
