Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the DataTraveler®2000, an ultra-secure and easy-to-use hardware-
encrypted USB 3.0 PIN-activated flash drive.
The DT2000 uses military-grade XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which encrypts all data
stored on the drive in real time. The DT2000 requires no software and is OS and host
independent.
The DT2000 incorporates a rechargeable battery that allows you to enter a 7-15 digit PIN
(Personal Identification Number) using the on-board keypad before connecting the drive to
a USB port.
Should the drive be lost or stolen, you can rest assured that all data held on the DT2000 is safe
and cannot be accessed by any unauthorised person.
The DT2000 unlocks using the on-board keypad and is not unlocked by a host computer. It is
not vulnerable to software/hardware-based key loggers or brute force attacks.
Note: The DT2000 rechargeable battery is not fully charged out of the box. We
recommend that you charge the battery prior to first use. To charge, plug the
DT2000 in to a powered USB port for 60 minutes to fully charge the battery.
Caution: The DT2000 is shipped with a default PIN of User PIN of 1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4
and, although it can be used straight out of the box with the default
PIN, for security reasons we highly recommend that you create a new
User PIN immediately by following the instructions under section 4 ‘How to
change User PIN’.
If you forget your PIN, all data will be inaccessible.

3. How to use the DT2000 for the first time
The DT2000 is shipped with a default PIN of 11223344 and although it can be used straight out of the
box with the default PIN, for security reasons we highly recommend that you create a new User PIN
immediately by following the instructions under section 4 ‘How to change the User PIN’.
Follow the 3 simple steps in the table below to unlock the DT2000 with the default PIN.
Instructions (first time use)
LED
LED State
1. Press KEY button once
Red, Green & Blue LEDs will flash together once
and then the Red LED will continue to blink

(default - 11223344) to unlock
the DT2000
Red LED will continue to blink
3. Press KEY button once

4. How to change the User PIN
PIN requirements:
•Must be between 7-15 digits in length
•Must not contain only repetitive numbers, e.g. (3-3-3-3-3-3-3)
•Must not contain only consecutive numbers, e.g. (1-2-3-4-5-6-7), (7-8-9-0-1-2-3-4), (7-6-5-4-3-2-1)
Examples of these types of alphanumeric PINs are:
•For “password”, you would press the following keys:
7(pqrs) 2(abc) 7(pqrs) 7(pqrs) 9 (wxyz) 6(mno) 7(pqrs) 3(def)
•For “kingston”, you would press:
5(jkl) 4(ghi) 6(mno) 4(ghi) 7(pqrs) 8(tuv) 6(mno) 6(mno)
This method enables you to create long PINs that are easy to remember.
Instructions

LED State
Note: Once the DT2000 has been successfully unlocked, the Green LED will remain on and
in a solid state for 30 seconds only, during which time the DT2000 needs to be connected to
a USB port. It can be locked down immediately by pressing and holding down the KEY button
for 3 seconds, or waiting for the 30 seconds to expire or by clicking the ‘Safely Remove
Hardware and Eject Media’ icon within your operating system.
Password tip: You can create a memorable word, name, phrase or any other alphanumeric
PIN combination simply by pressing the key with the corresponding letters on it.

the following steps.
Once activated, access is limited to read-only until write protect is disabled.
