The Write Protect Switch - Kanguru defender User Manual

1.7 the Write Protect Switch

Kanguru Defender Elite30, Elite200 and Elite300 flash drives have a physical write protect switch
located on the edge of the drive, near the USB connector:
• Unlocked - Push the write protect switch towards the USB connector side of the device to set it in
the unlocked position. When the write protect switch is set in the unlock position, the device will
function normally.
• Locked - Push the write protect switch towards the LED side of the device to set it in the locked
position. When set in the lock position, the write protect switch will prevent data from being written
to the device's secure partition.
important! For devices with a physical write protect switch, the write protect switch must be set in the
intended functioning position (i.e. locked or unlocked) prior to connecting the drive to the computer.
WarNiNG! You may receive an error if you attempt to setup or login to your device while the write
protect switch is set in the locked position. Please check and make sure that the write protect switch is
set in the unlocked position. It is highly recommended to go through the setup wizard, login and mount
the device's secure partition before setting the write protect switch to the locked position.
Note: The Defender 2000 and Defender 3000 flash drives use software based write protection and do not
have a physical switch. To enable the software write protection on a Defender 2000 or Defender 3000,
please refer to section 2.3.2 Enabling Software Write Protection on page 21.
