Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Kanguru Bio Slider! The Kanguru Bio Slider now allows you to safeguard your data using top-notch biometric technology -at an affordable price! The Kanguru Bio Slider is a highly advanced USB 2.0 biometric flash drive that uses your fingerprint to secure the drive. Without the correct fingerprint, the drive is locked down and made accessible only after an exact match of a registered fingerprint has been authenticated. To access the protected information, simply insert the Kanguru Bio Slider and swipe your finger across the biometric sensor. The sensor will automatically scan your fingerprint and grant access. As an added benefit, all saved fingerprints, as well as the program itself are stored directly on the drive. This allows for ultimate portability and ease of use, as you can take the Kanguru Bio Slider to any PC without having to install anything! The Kanguru Bio Slider can store up to 10 fingerprints on each drive and you have the option to set a recovery password.

Using the Bio Slider Connecting the drive: Please note: Windows 98 is the only operating system that requires you to install drivers before connecting USB flash drives. All other supported operating systems already have the drivers built in to support USB flash drives. 1. If your computer is not turned on, please do so at this time and wait for your operating systems to load. 2. Remove the cap from your Kanguru Bio Slider and plug it into any USB port on your computer. NOTE: Kanguru Solutions highly suggests using the USB extension cable if your USB ports are in an inconvenient location. This will make it much easier to scan you fingerprint. 3. Windows 98 Users ONLY: You operating system will ask you to locate the drivers for this device. They are located on the mini CD included with your drive. To install these driver files, simply direct Windows 98 to that folder or select to search your CD-Rom drive for these files. The installation wizard should select these driver files automatically and complete the installation. A reboot is required for Windows 98 to recognize the drive after the installation is complete. 4. The LED on the Bio Slider should light up red to indicate a powered connection. Check to make sure the drive is recognized by your system. Under "My Computer" you should find two new drives; a CD-Rom drive labeled "Kanguru Bio Drive" and a Removable Disk drive as seen below. The CD-Drive represents the fixed, read-only portion of the drive that is used to store the fingerprint authentication program and other files. The Removable Disk represents the portion of the drive that protected by your fingerprint and is locked by default. This is where you will save your files. 5. Your PC should automatically run the program located in the "Kanguru Bio Drive" CD-Rom. If the program doesn't start right away, you can simply double click on the CD-Drive to run it as seen below. -7- Kanguru Bio Slider 6. To begin using the drive you must register one of your fingerprints. To do so, simply click on one of the fingers shown in the window. The finger you select will turn blue. Press next to begin the process. 7. Slowly swipe your finger across the biometric sensor until the program has a proper reading. This usually takes 4 to 5 swipes to get a proper reading on your fingerprint. -8- Kanguru Bio Slider Please note: If you receive an error message stating the drive was unable to obtain a usable fingerprint, then please try swiping your finger again in a slow, control fashion. 8. You will then see you registered fingerprints turn green. 9. Click the FINISH button to complete the fingerprint registration. The Backup Password entry form will then appear. 10. Click OK to submit the Backup Password information. Next, the fingerprint verification screen should appear as seen below. -9- Kanguru Bio Slider 11. Swipe one of you registered fingerprints across the biometric sensor and the program will grant you access to the Removable Disk drive. You can now use the Removable Disk drive as you would any other drive. Please note: The Kanguru Bio Slider will automatically lock down the secure partition when the drive is removed from a PC. - 10 - Kanguru Bio Slider Using the Backup Password: To use the backup password, simply click on the fingerprint icon in the upper left hand corner of the program. You will then be prompted to enter the correct password to gain access to the Removable Disk drive. Disconnecting the Drive: DO NOT remove the drive during data transfer. If the LED is flashing, then the drive is still transferring data. Windows Me/2000/XP users: Click on the green Remove Hardware icon on the right side of the taskbar and select the Kanguru Bio Slider to safely remove the drive. NOTE: If you do not properly remove the drive from your system, then you may have to reboot your computer in order for the drive to be recognized again. Windows 98SE users: Windows 98SE does not have a drive removal utility, so you can simply pull the drive out of the USB port to remove is from the operating system. - 11 - Kanguru Bio Slider 3.
