Using Your LaCie SAFE Drive
To lock your LaCie SAFE drive once you are
finished using it, follow these steps. Once com-
pletely disconnected, your drive, and its data, will
be inaccessible to unauthorized users.
For Windows Users:
From the System Tray (located in the lower
right-hand side of your screen), click the Eject
icon (a small green arrow over a hardware image).
A message will appear, detailing the devices that
the Eject icon controls, i.e. “Safely remove...”.
Click on this prompt.
You will be then given this message: “Safe to
Remove Hardware” (or similar). It is now safe
to disconnect the device.
For Mac Users:
You must unmount the hard drive system be-
fore disconnecting it or powering it down. Simply
drag the hard drive icon to the Trash. The drive can
now be disconnected.
