PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL COMPLETELY and ENROLL YOUR FINGERPRINT

Introduction:

BioStik™ by Index Security is a biometric USB secured flash storage device employing a state of the art capacitive fingerprint sensor. The data stored
within the BioStik™ is protected by your fingerprint, not a password. The BioStik™ is both easy to use and is a cross platformed for most Operation Systems
as a USB flash storage device. The fingerprint sensor adds the ultimate security to your data and also identifies you as you. BioStik™ only works with your
personal touch. If lost, the BioStik™ flash is encapsulated in an epoxy, that will self destruct if the casing is tampered with. Removal or tampering with the
storage IC renders the data useless and indecipherable.

Features

1. Slim, light, and handy, this miniature storage device secures sensitive
data by fingerprint recognition technology.

2. The data stored inside BioStik™ is encrypted.

3. There is no communication between the host PC and BioStik™ until an
authorized fingerprint enables BioStik™ to do so.

4. The User fingerprint template is not transmittable to the host PC and therefore
adds another layer of protection to the user fingerprint identity.

5. "USB Hot plug and play" allows you to install BioStik™
anytime & anywhere without the additional application software or
drivers (except WIN98 or Mac8.6).

6. Supports IBM PCs and compatibles running
WIN98/WIN ME/ WIN XP/WIN2000/ Linux OS and
Mac OS computer (driver download from: www.index-security.com)

7. Red LED indicator lights up when the BioStik™ is recognized by the PC
and then can biometrically verify you.
