Once the DT4000 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 DT4000 into a USB port on your 

notebook or desktop and enter your pass-
word (see 

.) 

 

2.  Once you’ve typed your password, click the 

‘Login’ button to continue. 

 

•  If the correct password is entered, the 

DT4000 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 

.)

(NOTE: 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 

10 failed attempts, the DT4000 will lock and require a device format of the secure data partition 
prior to next use.  THIS MEANS THAT ALL DATA STORED ON THE DT4000 WILL BE 
ERASED.  For more details on this feature, see ‘Device Lockout’ on page 24.) 
 
 

3.  You may unlock the secure data partition in read-only mode, sometimes referred to as 

“write-protect mode”, by selecting the checkbox labeled ‘Read-Only Mode’ prior to logging 
into the device.  Once authenticated under read-only, you will be allowed to open or view 
content on the DT4000, 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 menu 
that 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 shutdown DT4000 and log back in, 
leaving the ‘Read-Only Mode’ checkbox unchecked prior to login.
