Once the DT4000 G2 has been initialised, you
can access the secure data partition and use
the device options by logging in to the device
with your password. To do so, follow these
steps:
1. Insert the DT4000 G2 into a USB port on
your notebook or desktop and enter your
password (see
Figure 4.1
• Once you have typed your password,
click the 'Login' button to continue.
• If the correct password is entered, the
DT4000 G2 will unlock and you can
begin using the device.
• If an incorrect password is entered, an error message will appear just below the
field, indicating a login failure.
(NOTE: If you enter a bad password during the login process, 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 DT4000 G2
will lock and require a device format of the secure data partition prior to its next use. THIS MEANS
THAT ALL DATA STORED ON THE DT4000 G2 WILL BE LOST. For more details on this feature,
see 'Device Lockout' on page 24).
2. You may unlock the secure data partition in read-only mode, sometimes referred to as "write-protect
mode", by selecting the checkbox labelled 'Read-Only Mode' prior to logging in to the device. Once
authenticated under read-only, you will be allowed to open or view content on the DT4000 G2, but
not update, change or erase content while in this mode. (Note: Read-only mode will also prevent
the format option from appearing in the DT4000 G2 menu that later appears on page 10).
If you are currently logged in under read-only mode and wish to unlock the device with full read/write
access to the secure data partition, you must shut down the DT4000 G2 (see page 11) and log back in,
leaving the 'Read-Only Mode' checkbox deselected during authentication.
* Once you authenticate to the device successfully, the failed login counter will be reset.
