SecureUSB BT Overview

Thank you for purchasing the SecureUSB BT Model (‘USB’ hereafter). It’s an easy to
use, hardware encrypted, password activated USB 3.0 drive. This Bluetooth®-capable
model uses an application with wireless user-authentication on a smartphone—iOS and
Android. (Apple iOS includes Apple iPhone, Watch, and iPad.)

The SecureUSB uses military grade XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which
encrypts all data stored on it in real-time. It works on all computer and embedded
systems that support standard USB protocol.

Should your SecureUSB get lost or stolen, rest assured that all data on it is protected by
military grade encryption and cannot be accessed without entering the password via the
DataLock App.

NOTE: For extra security with multiple users, the Remote Manager Model allows a User

and an Admin password as well as allowing the admin to remotely make settings
to Users’ USBs. This makes it perfect for corporate and government deployment
(NOT COVERED IN THIS MANUAL).

Your SecureUSB may have Cloud Backup and built-in Antivirus features installed. For
more information, please contact Support at SecureData™.

REQUIREMENTS

The SecureUSB works on Windows, Mac, Android, Linux, or Chrome operating systems,
or any host such as an embedded system. The computer/host must have a USB 2.0 port,
minimum.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

• 1 SecureUSB (with PDF User Manual) • 1 Quick Start Guide
