Freecom Mobile Drive Secure
4.2.2 Using your Freecom Mobile Drive Secure with RFID protection
After configuring the two keycards, every time you connect your Freecom Mobile Drive Secure to your Mac or switch it on, the left LED will be red indicating the drive is locked and can not be used. The drive will not appear on your Mac desktop. In order to use the drive, you need to identify yourself by holding one of the keycards in front of the sensor on the drive. The left LED will change from red to green, indicating that your Mobile Drive Secure is now unlocked and can be used. You will now see the Mobile Drive Secure on your Mac desktop.
IMPORTANT: If the Keycard security is enabled, the only way to access the Mobile Drive Secure is by presenting the keycard to the drive. Without the keycard there is no possibility to access the data on the drive.
After having configured the two keycards, when running the Freecom RFID protection tool it will give you three options to choose from:
1. Eject hard drive

After use, we recommend you switch off the power of the Mobile Drive Secure. Next time you switch the drive back on, you will need to present one of the keycards to the drive in order to use the drive.
