peripheral 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.

automatically.)

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 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.*

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 20.
Figure 4.2 –Login Failure
*Note: Once you authenticate to the device successfully, the failed login counter will reset.
