6)      Can I create a new document file on the secured USB disk directly?

Answer: No, but you can in the general area.

7)      What does the LED indicate on the secured USB disk?

Answer: When the LED is light up, it means that secured USB disk has accurately connected to computer however; there isnt any data transmission at the moment. When LED flashes, it means that secured USB disk is reading or writing data. However, in Windows XP system, system will inspect the secured USB disk working status from time to time. This causes data transmission and therefore even though USB disk is not in working status, LED might flash slowly.

8)      What should I notice when I insert the secured USB disk?
