Using My Device – Features

Accessing My Secure Files

After unlocking the device, you can access your secure files. Files are automatically encrypted and
decrypted when you save or open them on the drive. This technology gives you the convenience
of working as you normally would with a regular drive, while providing strong, "always-on" security.
To access your secure files:
1. Click Files on menu bar of the IronKey Control Panel.
• Windows: Opens Windows Explorer to the IRONKEY SECURE FILES USB drive.
• macOS: Opens Finder to the KINGSTON USB drive.
2. Do one of the following:
• To open a file, double-click the file on the S1000B USB drive.
• To save a file, drag the file from your computer to the S1000B USB drive.
Hint: You can also access your files by right-clicking the IronKey Icon in the Windows taskbar
and clicking Secure Files.

Unlocking In Read-Only Mode

You can unlock your device in a read-only state so that files cannot be altered on your secure drive.
For example, when using an untrusted or unknown computer, unlocking your device in Read-Only
Mode will prevent any malware on that computer from infecting your device or modifying your files.
When working in this mode, the IronKey Control Panel will display the text Read-Only Mode. In
this mode, you cannot perform any operations that involve modifying files on the device. For
example, you cannot reformat the device, restore applications or edit the Applications List, or edit
files on the drive.
To unlock the device in Read-Only Mode:
1. Insert the device into the USB port of the host computer and run the IronKey.exe.
2. Check the Read-Only Checkbox below the password entry box.
3. Type your device password and click Unlock. The IronKey Control Panel will appear with the
text Read-Only Mode at the bottom.

Changing The Unlock Message

The Unlock Message is custom text that displays in the IRONKEY window when you unlock the
device. This feature allows you to customize the message that displays. For example, adding
contact information will display information on how a lost drive can be returned to you.
To change the Unlock Message:
1. In the IronKey Control Panel, click Settings on the menu bar.
2. Click Preferences in the left sidebar.
3. Type the message text in the Unlock Message field. The text must fit in the space provided
(approximately 7 lines and 200 characters).
