IMPORTANT:
Do NOT press any

cure Key is plugged
into a USB port.
Doing so may cause
damage to the USB
port and Secure Key
USB Connector.
Battery Note
The Aegis Secure Key has an internal rechargeable battery with a smart-charging
circuit and will automatically charge whenever it’s plugged into a powered USB port.
After initial Admin PIN setup, when plugged into a powered USB port while in standby
mode, the Red LED will pulse to indicate that it’s charging and will glow solidly once
fully charged. Since the Secure Key ships with a partial charge, plug it into a powered
USB port for 60-80 minutes to give the battery a full charge before initial setup (RED
LED will still be blinking.)
NOTE: if you are using the Aegis Configurator to set up your
Aegis Secure Key 3NX, First ensure that the device to be
configured has the “configurable” logo on the back of the
outer sleeve. 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.
Each Aegis Secure Key is shipped without a preset Personal
Identification Number (PIN.) To prepare the Key for use, the user must
first establish an Admin PIN that is between 7 and 16 digits in length.
PINs cannot contain all consecutive numbers or all the same numbers
(e.g. 123456789, 987654321 or 11111111, 22222222, etc.
This Admin PIN
is used to set the Secure Key’s various Admin features and also serves
as the first of two User PINS for the Secure Key’s standard operation.
To Set Up the Admin PIN:
1. Wake up the Secure Key by pressing .
(
BLUE
and
GREEN
LEDs
will glow solidly, indicating no Admin PIN has been established.)
2. Press
+ 9
simultaneously.
(
BLUE
LED will glow solidly and
GREEN
LED will blink.)
3. Enter the PIN to be used as your Admin code and press
(If PIN is
accepted,
BLUE
LED will turn off momentarily and
GREEN
LED will
blink 3 times by itself, then will continue blinking as the
BLUE
LED
glows solidly.)*
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 Secure Key is in Admin
mode, ready to add another User PIN [see reverse] or for setting up
features.)
5. To exit the Admin mode, press
(
RED
LED will glow solidly)
or wait 30
seconds and Secure Key will return to sleep mode.
6.
If no additional users are to be added or Admin features set, Secure
Key setup is now complete and ready for use.
