device(s) that may feature a USB port, such as a keyboard or USB-powered hub, as seen in Figure
1.2.

Setup (Windows Environment)
1. Insert the DTL+ G3 into an available USB port on
your notebook or desktop and wait for Windows
to detect it.
•Windows XP users will receive a ‘Found New
Hardware’ notification as seen in Figure 2.1.
•Windows Vista/7 users will receive a device
driver notification as seen in Figure 2.2.
Once the new hardware detection is complete,
Windows will begin the initialization process.
•If the Windows autorun function is enabled,
you can skip the next step and go to page 5 –
Device Initialization.
•If the Windows autorun function is disabled, as
it is in Windows 7 by default, you may see an
AutoPlay window similar to the one in Figure
2.3.
2. Select the option ‘Run DTLplus_Launcher.exe’.
If Windows does not AutoPlay, simply browse to the
DVD-RW partition (Figure 2.4) and manually execute
the DTLplus_Launcher program. This will also start
the initialization process.

window may vary depending on what
programs are currently installed on
your computer.If enabled, AutoRun
will start the initialization process
automatically.)

Device Initialization (Windows Environment)
1. Select your language preference from the drop-down menu and click ‘Next’ (Figure 3.1.)
Figure 3.1 – Language Selection
2. Review the license agreement and click ‘Next’ (Figure 3.2.) (Note: You must accept the license
agreement before continuing; otherwise the ‘Next’ button will remain disabled.)
Figure 3.2 – License Agreement

3. Create a password to protect your data on the DTL+ G3. Enter it in the ‘Password’ field, then re-
enter it in the ‘Password Confirmation’ field, as seen below in Figure 3.3. The password you create
must meet the following criteria before the initialization process will allow you to continue:
1. Passwords must contain 6 characters or more (up to 16 characters.)
2. Passwords must contain three (3) of the following criteria options:
- UPPER CASE, lower case, numeric, and/or special characters (!, $, etc.)
You may also enter a password hint, but it is not a mandatory field. The hint field can be useful in
providing a clue as to what the password is, should the password ever be forgotten. (Note: The hint
CANNOT be an exact match to the password.)

4. Enter your contact information into the text boxes provided (see Figure 3.4) (Note: The information
you enter in these fields may NOT contain the password string you created in Step 3. However,
these fields are optional and can be left blank, if so desired.)
•The ‘Name’ field may contain up to 32 characters, but cannot contain the exact
password.
•The ‘Company’ field may contain up to 32 characters, but cannot contain the
exact password.
•The ‘Details’ field may contain up to 156 characters, but cannot contain the exact

The DTL+ G3 will now format the secure data partition (Figure 3.5) and notify you when it is complete
(Figure 3.6.)
Note: If operating under Windows XP in Non-Admin mode, the ‘Format’ routine
will take longer than formatting in Admin mode.*
6. Click ‘OK’ to continue.

USB !"Cloud Initialization (PC Only)
Once the device has been initialized, the USB-to-Cloud
application will appear as seen in Figure 3.7 to the right.
Please make sure you have a working Internet connection
before you continue.
To proceed with the installation, click the green ‘Accept’
button in the bottom right-hand corner of the clevX window.
To decline the installation, click the red ‘Decline’ button in the
bottom left-hand corner of the clevX window.
(Note: If you click the red ‘Decline’ button, it will cancel the
USB-to-Cloud installation. In doing so, a special text file
named ‘USBtoCloudInstallDeclined.txt’ is created on the data
partition. The presence of this file will prevent the application
from prompting you for the installation in the future.)
If the following Windows Security Alert window pops up
during the initialization process, please click “Allow access” to
continue (or create a Windows Firewall Exception) in order
for the USB-to-Cloud application to continue.

(Continued…) USB !"Cloud Initialization (PC Only)
Once the installation has completed, you will see an
application box with a list of options to choose from (for
syncing your DataLocker+ G3 data.)
Select the cloud option you wish to use as your backup
application and provide the necessary credentials required
for authentication.
(Note: If you currently do not have an account set up with
any of the cloud options listed, you may create one at this
time, using your favorite Internet browser, and then
completing this option afterwards.)
Once you’ve chosen a cloud option and authenticated to
the corresponding service, the USB-to-Cloud program will
perform an initial comparison of the data partition against
what is stored in the Cloud. As long as the USB-to-Cloud
service is running in Task Manager, content written to the
data partition will automatically back up (sync) to the Cloud.
Figure 3.9 – Cloud Options
USB-to-Cloud Usage
The USB-to-Cloud application provides the following
additional services:
•Pause Backup (Pauses a data backup)
•Restore (Restores data from the cloud to the device)
•Settings (Additional options for your data backup)
•Exit (Exits the USB-to-Cloud service)
In the ‘Settings’ menu, you can 1) change which cloud
service app you are currently using for backups; 2) change
the language you are currently using; 3) select which files
and/or folders you are backing up to the cloud; 4) enable
or disable Antivirus on the DTL+ G3; 5) check for software
updates; or 6) reset the USB device.
(Note: If you reset (or format) the DTL+ G3, all data on the
device will be lost. However, whatever data is stored in
the cloud remains safe and intact.)

Device Usage (Windows Environment)
Once the DTL+ G3 has been initialized, you
can access the secure data partition and utilize
the device options by logging into the device
with your password. To do so, follow these
steps:
1. Insert the DTL+ G3 into a USB port on your
notebook or desktop and enter your pass-
word (see Figure 4.1.)
2. Once you’ve typed your password, click the
‘Login’ button to continue.
•If the correct password is entered, the
DTL+ G3 will unlock and you can
begin using the device.
•If an incorrect password is entered, an
error message will appear just below
the ‘Hint’ field, indicating a login
failure (see Figure 4.2.)
Figure 4.1 – Login Window
During the login process, if a bad password
is entered, you will be given another
opportunity to enter the correct password;
however, there is a built-in security feature
that tracks the number of failed login
attempts*. If this number reaches the pre-
configured value of 10 failed attempts, the
DTL+ G3 will lock and require a device
format of the secure data partition prior to
next use.
THIS MEANS THAT ALL DATA STORED
ON THE DTL+ G3 WILL BE LOST.
For more details on this feature, see
‘Device Lockout’ on page 22.

*Note: Once you authenticate to the device successfully, the failed login counter will reset.
