User Manual coCrypt B Selfkey
This guide describes the first time set-up procedure (sections A and B) for the 2-factor coCrypt B USB device
followed by a description (section C) of how to use coCrypt in daily operation. The following sections gives
information about name change, PIN change etc. You may also find additional or updated information at
www.hiddn.no/support.
A. Insertion of the Keycard Break-out Module (SIM card):
1. Remove the back cover and pull out the card holder, using a small screw-
driver, a tiny pin, your nail or a similar tool.
2. Remove the keycard break-out module (SIM card) from your keycard and insert it
into the holder as shown below. Verify that the card is marked with "B". Make sure
you insert it with the active (golden) area facing towards the top area (display area)
of the coCrypt B and note the cut-out corner. See the pictures below:
B. First Time Setup
1. Press to power on. The display shows “coCrypt B”. Insert your coCrypt B into a USB port on
the PC. If necessary, use the 20 cm extension cable included in the box. DO NOT unplug the
coCrypt B until you have reached point 5 in this section.
2. Wait until the display shows ”Initialize [Y/N]”(May take up to 60 seconds).
3. Press to answer Yes. The display will show “Initialize [Y/N] Y”. Press Enter . (If you
press Nyou will get the message “Please restart”. Remove the coCrypt B from the
computer and go back to point 1 in this section to restart the operation).
4. The display shows “Do NOT unplug”. Make sure the device does not lose power (do NOT unplug
the device from the computer and do not turn off the computer) until the display shows
“Init OK, restart”. This may take several minutes.
5. Restart hiddn coCrypt B by removing it from the PC and then reinsert it.
6. The display shows " New PIN". Key in your chosen PIN code. If you type an error, undo the typo
by pressing . When finished press Enter . It is a system requirement that the PIN code
must have at least 7 digits and at least one digit must be offset by 2 or more compared to the
preceding one. (Examples: “1-2-3-4-5-6-7”, “0-0-0-1-0-0-0”, “4-3-2-1-2-3-4”, “7-6-5-4-3-2-1”, “0-
0-0-0-0-0-0”, “1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4” are all non-acceptable while “0-0-0-2-0-0-0” and “9-7-6-5-4-3-1”
are acceptable).
7. The display shows “Confirm”. Reenter your new PIN code and press Enter once more. The
display now shows “SD ready” and will also show “USB locked” since the system in this coCrypt B
version is set up with the extra USB connection logically blocked from use. (The display will show
“PIN too weak” and then “New PIN:” in case the chosen PIN code does not meet the system
requirements. In that case go back to step 6 and reenter another PIN code).
Please read through this guide thoroughly
before powering up your hiddn coCrypt B USB
device the first time
WARNING:
Do NOT activate this product if the security
and/or product labels have been removed or
cut off prior to opening the box

CC01-UM-B01-02.12-ENG-01.12.16
8. Make sure you either remember or have stored a copy of your new PIN code in a safe place. This
coCrypt B version has no PUK backup code. If you lose your PIN code you have to zeroize the
device and your stored data will be lost.
9. Like most USB devices the coCrypt B needs to be formatted before first time use. Your computer
screen will show a message asking whether you want to format the disk (the hiddn coCrypt). Press
“Format Disk” (or a similar message) on your computer and then press Start (or OK) on your
computer screen. You will typically get a warning on the screen. Press OK to continue; then wait until
you get the message that the formatting is complete. (Fast or Rapid format operation is ok). (Ask your
IT department if you are unsure about this process). Shall the coCrypt B be used on an Apple®
computer, it may be necessary to format the disk first on a Windows® computer.
10. The coCrypt B initialization process is now completed. Remove the device from your computer. You
may now proceed to section C (Normal Use procedure).
C. Normal Use:
1. Press to power on. Wait until the display shows "PIN:"
2. Enter the correct PIN code. If you type an error, undo the typo by pressing . Then press
Enter when finished.
3. The display will show “PIN accepted”. (If the PIN code is not correct the display will show the
message “PIN not accepted”. In that case reenter the correct PIN code).
4. Connect coCrypt B to the computer. It can now be accessed as a normal USB storage device.
5. The coCryptB may be powered off and locked by just removing the device from the computer.
6. If the coCrypt B is powered on without being connected to the computer it will automatically turn
itself off and lock in about 30 seconds provided no keys are being pressed during this period. You may
also power off by keeping the pressed for at least 2- 3 seconds.
Notes:
The coCrypt B will be blocked and then zeroized if you enter an incorrect PIN number more than 4
times in a row.
The coCrypt may be set up to allow the use of a PIN code containing either characters or a combination of
characters and digits (in both cases a total of minimum 7 digits or characters). See section H for
information on how this is done.
The coCrypt B contains a rechargeable battery with an advanced control unit for charging the battery
whenever the coCrypt B is inserted in a powered-on PC. However, if the coCrypt B is left unused (and not
connected to a PC) for several months, it may be necessary to charge the internal battery for 1-2 hours
before active use. To do so, just insert the coCrypt B into a USB port of a PC that is turned on and let it
charge for 2-3 hours.
As any type of storage devices may occasionally fail we strongly recommend that you store and back up
any valuable or critical data according to the rules provided by your IT-department (or using at least
two independent storage devices).
