Using Your LaCie SAFE Drive

This is the first screen you will see with nor-

mal use. To unlock your LaCie SAFE drive,

place a registered finger flat in the recess of

the fingerprint sensor. Make sure the top of

your finger touches the top of the recess and

slide it down slowly. Continue swiping your

finger until the drive recognizes you. For more

on how to use the fingerprint sensor see sec-

tion 3.1.

Once the sensor has recognized you as an Ad-

ministrator, a personalized dialog appears. Click

Unlock drive to begin using the drive, just as

you would any standard external drive. Or click

Configure if you want to add or remove users or

change user profiles.
