Sentry ONE User Guide
Quick Start
Windows (7, 8.1, 10) & macOS Setup (v.10.9.x - 10.13.x)
1. Plug the device into your computer’s USB port.
2. When the Device Setup window appears, follow the on-screen instructions. If this window does
not appear, open it manually:
• Windows: Start > This PC > Unlocker > Unlocker.exe
• macOS: Finder > Unlocker > Unlocker
3. When Device Setup is complete, you can move your important files to the PRIVATE USB drive
and they will be automatically encrypted.
Some Windows systems prompt to restart after you first plug in your device. You can safely close
that prompt without restarting - no new drivers or software are installed.

How Is This Different Than A Regular USB Drive?
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certification
- The Sentry ONE is a FIPS-certified device, so you can feel confident
that you’re complying with regulatory requirements.
Hardware Encryption
- The Cryptochip in your device protects your data with the same level of
protection as highly classified government information. This security technology feature is always on
and cannot be disabled.
Password-Protected
- Device access is secured using password protection. Do not share your
password with anyone so that even if your device is lost or stolen, no one else can access your data.
Device Reset
- If the Cryptochip detects physical tampering, or if the number of consecutive incor-
rect password attempts exceeds 10 attempts, the device will initiate a reset sequence.
Important
-
When a device is reset, all onboard data will be erased and the device returns to factory settings -
so remember your password.
Anti-Malware Autorun Protection (Managed Only)
- Your device is capable of protecting you from
many of the latest malware threats targeting USB drives by detecting and preventing autorun
execution of unapproved programs. It can also be unlocked in Read-Only Mode if you suspect the
host computer is infected.
Simple Device Management
- Your device includes the DataLocker Control Panel, a program for
accessing your files, managing your device and editing your preferences, changing your device
password, and safely locking your device.
