Normal Use
1. Connect the USB or FireWire 800 cable to your computer and to the drive.
2. If LaCie Safe Manager has been installed on the computer, you may unlock the
drive by swiping a registered finger or using a password.
Note: LaCie Safe Manager is only required on one computer to configure the drive
for authentication by password and to manage users. When attaching the LaCie
Rugged Safe to a computer without LaCie Safe Manager, the data partition will not
appear on the desktop until an authorized user has swiped his finger. See step 3.
3. Type the password or swipe your finger to access the drive. To swipe your finger correctly:
a. Make sure that the front of the drive is facing you, and wait for the top LED to
be solid red.
b. With your finger pressed flat on the groove and fingertip touching the top recess,
slowly slide the finger toward you.
4. To lock the Rugged Safe: First, unmount the device partitions. Second, swipe a
registered finger. The LED will turn red.
USB connection note: If the USB bus on your computer does not sufficiently power
the LaCie Rugged Safe, you should:
1. Disconnect the USB cable
2. Connect the USB power cable to your computer and the LaCie Rugged Safe
3. Reconnect the USB cable
