Quick Start Guide First-Time Use / Admin Mode Setup Aegis Secure Key 3NXC IMPORTANT: Do NOT press any buttons while the Se- cure Key is plugged into a USB port. Doing so may cause damage to the USB port and Secure Key USB Connector. Battery Note The Aegis Secure Key has an internal rechargeable battery with a smart-charging circuit and will automatically charge whenever it’s plugged into a powered USB port. After initial Admin PIN setup, when plugged into a powered USB port while in standby mode, the Red LED will pulse to indicate that it’s charging and will glow solidly once fully charged. Since the Secure Key ships with a partial charge, plug it into a powered USB port for 60-80 minutes to give the battery a full charge before initial setup (RED LED will still be blinking.) NOTE: if you are using the Aegis Configurator to set up your Aegis Secure Key 3NX, First ensure that the device to be configured has the “configurable” logo on the back of the outer sleeve. Also, DO NOT perform the following Manual Admin and USER PIN SETUP steps below; The Aegis Configurator will only recognize devices in their factory “out of box” state or devices that have been completely reset. Each Aegis Secure Key is shipped without a preset Personal Identification Number (PIN.) To prepare the Key for use, the user must first establish an Admin PIN that is between 7 and 16 digits in length. PINs cannot contain all consecutive numbers or all the same numbers (e.g. 123456789, 987654321 or 11111111, 22222222, etc.This Admin PIN is used to set the Secure Key’s various Admin features and also serves as the first of two User PINS for the Secure Key’s standard operation. To Set Up the Admin PIN: 1. Wake up the Secure Key by pressing . (BLUE and GREEN LEDs will glow solidly, indicating no Admin PIN has been established.) 2. Press + 9 simultaneously. (BLUE LED will glow solidly and GREEN LED will blink.) 3. Enter the PIN to be used as your Admin code and press (If PIN is accepted, BLUE LED will turn off momentarily and GREEN LED will blink 3 times by itself, then will continue blinking as the BLUE LED glows solidly.)* 4. Quickly re-enter that same PIN once more and press (BLUE LED will turn off momentarily and GREEN LED will illuminate for one second until replaced by the BLUE LED glowing solidly, indicating that the Admin PIN has been set and the Secure Key is in Admin mode, ready to add another User PIN [see reverse] or for setting up features.) 5. To exit the Admin mode, press (RED LED will glow solidly) or wait 30 seconds and Secure Key will return to sleep mode. 6. If no additional users are to be added or Admin features set, Secure Key setup is now complete and ready for use. CONFIGURABLE 2 abc 4 ghi 6 mno 8 tuv 0 1 3 def 5 jkl 7 pqrs 9 wxyz
