Freecom Mobile Drive Secure
4.1.2 Using your Freecom Mobile Drive Secure with RFID protection
After configuring the two keycards, every time you connect your Freecom Mobile Drive
Secure to your computer or switch it on, the left LED will be red indicating the drive is
locked and can not be used. The drive will not appear as a drive letter in Windows Explorer.
In order to use the drive, you need to identify yourself by holding one of the keycards in
front of the sensor on the drive. The left LED will change from red to green, indicating
that your Mobile Drive Secure is now unlocked and can be used. You will now also see
the Mobile Drive Secure appear as a drive letter in Windows Explorer.
IMPORTANT: If the Keycard security is enabled, the only way to access the
Mobile Drive Secure is by presenting the keycard to the drive. Without the
keycard there is no possibility to access the data on the drive.
After having configured the two keycards, when running the Freecom RFID protection
tool it will give you three options to choose from:
1. Safely remove hard drive
This option allows you to safely remove the hard drive from your system. After using the drive
we recommend you use this option to remove the drive, in order to prevent data loss.
After use, we recommend you switch off the power of the Mobile Drive Secure. Next
time you switch the drive back on, you will need to present one of the keycards to the
drive in order to use the drive.
