Introduction
iStorage datAshur® Personal2 Manual – v 1.3
Note: The datAshur Personal2 rechargeable battery is not fully charged, we recommend the battery be
charged prior to first use. Please plug in the datAshur Personal2 to a powered USB port for 60 minutes to fully charge the battery.
Thank you for purchasing the iStorage datAshur® Personal2, a highly secure and easy to use, hardware encrypted USB 3.0 PIN activated flash drive.
The datAshur Personal2 uses military grade XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which encrypts all data stored on the drive in real-time. The datAshur Personal2 requires no software and is OS and host independent.
The datAshur Personal2 incorporates a rechargeable battery allowing the user to enter a 7-15 digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) onto the on-board keypad before connecting the drive to a USB port.
Should the drive be lost or stolen, the user can rest assured that all data held on the datAshur Personal2 is safe and cannot be accessed by any unauthorised person.
The datAshur Personal2 can be configured with both a User and Admin PIN, making it perfect for corporate and government deployment. As the datAshur Personal2 is unlocked via the onboard keypad and not a host computer, it is not vulnerable to software/hardware based key-loggers or brute force attacks.
Caution: The datAshur Personal2 is shipped with a default 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 a new User PIN be created immediately by following instructions under section 4 “How to change User PIN”.
If you forget your User PIN and no Admin PIN exists, or you forget both PINs, all data will be inaccessible.

3. How to use the datAshur Personal2 for the first time
iStorage datAshur® Personal2 Manual – v 1.3
The datAshur Personal2 is shipped with a default User PIN of 11223344 and although it can be used straight out of the box with the default PIN, for security reasons we highly recommend a new User PIN be created immediately by following the instructions under section 4 ‘How to change the User PIN’.
Please follow the 3 simple steps in the table below to unlock the datAshur Personal2 with the default User PIN.
Instructions - first time use |
LED |
LED State |
|||
1. |
Press KEY button once |
|
|
|
Red, Green & Blue LED’s will flash together once |
|
|
|
and then the Red LED will continue to blink |
||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. |
Within 10 seconds begin to enter User PIN |
|
|
|
Red LED will continue to blink |
|
(default - 11223344) to unlock datAshur Personal2 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. |
Press KEY button once |
|
|
|
Red solid LED changing to Green solid LED |
|
|
|
indicating successful default User PIN entry |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: Once the datAshur Personal2 has been successfully unlocked, the Green LED will remain on and in a solid state for 30 seconds only, during which time the datAshur Personal2 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/Eject’ icon within your operating system.
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)
Password Tip: You can create a memorable word, name, phrase or any other Alphanumerical PIN combination by simply pressing the key with the corresponding letters on it.
Examples of these types of Alphanumerical 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 “iStorage” you would press: |
|
|
4 (ghi) 7 (pqrs) 8 (tuv) 6 (mno) 7 (pqrs) 2 |
(abc) 4 (ghi) 3 (def) |
Using this method, long and easy to remember PIN’s can be created.
