4.3 the Write Protect Switch
One of the main feartures of the Kanguru UltraLock is its physical write protect switch. The UltraLock’s
physical write protect switch enables and disables write capability through the device’s firmware, NOT
programically through the OS registry as with some other devices.
Enabling and disabling the write protect switch is as simple as setting the switch to either the LOCKED
or UNLOCKED position.
• When set in the LOCKED position, the drive is write protected.
• When set in the UNLOCKED position, the drive is write enabled.
Note: The write protect switch will operate in the mode it is set in when the device is connected. To
change the mode, you must unplug the device first, change the switch position and then reconnect.
