Press the unlock key and the number 9 key, and when the green LED begins blinking, enter your choice of PIN, press unlock, and then enter it a second time and press unlock once more. To create an Admin PIN, press the unlock key, and the green and blue LEDs should glow, indicating no PIN exists. The Aegis Secure Key 3z is FIPS-140 Level 3 certified for security (it uses 256-bit AES XTS encryption) and unlike alternative drives, it doesn’t come with a default PIN, so the first thing you’ll need to do is set one up. Once plugged in, it will function like any other USB drive. Provided the PIN has been recognized, the green LED will flash for the next 30 seconds, giving you time to connect the drive to a USB port. Enter either an Admin or User PIN, and then press the unlock button again.

In order to use it, you just need to wake up the drive by pressing the unlock button.

This is a thumbdrive with a built in alphanumeric keypad.
