the USB port, recheck to see that the drive is properly oriented before trying to
insert again.
2. Please keep this Flash Drive away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, and water.
Do not bend, flex, or drop it.

the USB port while data is being transferred. We recommend the user perform
the “Safely Remove Hardware” in the system tray at the bottom of the screen by
selecting “USB Mass Storage Device” before removing the Flash Drive.

If your account does not have Administrator rights, please contact your system
administrator for assistance.
5. In rare cases, when you re-start the computer and find your Flash Drive in Unlocked
mode (have the right to access Security Area), please unplug the USB 2.0 Flash
Drive and then plug back in, to make sure it is back to accessing the Public Area.

Drive Partitions and Security Function
The Imation USB Flash Drive includes a utility program named “Imation Drive
Manager.exe” to
enable the user to partition the Flash Drive and/or to set Security Area
with a password check to secure your personal data. Also, if you have Windows 98SE,
you can configure this
Flash Drive as an MS-DOS Startup Drive by this utility program.
Important. Before implementing, save “Imation Drive Manager.exe” to your host
computer in a convenient location. “Imation Drive Manager.exe” will be removed from the
Flash Drive after the first implementation.
To run the utility program, just double click
Imation Drive Manager.exe.
“Imation Drive Manager.exe”
is used to format/partition
the USB Flash Drive, set Security Area, and create MS-DOS Startup
Drive. If users enable the security function when
performing “Imation Drive
Manager.exe”, another program named “Login.exe” will be generated and placed in the first
partition of the Flash Drive.
To run “Login.exe”, just double click “ Login.exe ”. Login.exe is the
interface used to access the Security
Area.
