## Questions & Answers

**Q: can battery be replaced?**
A: There are no provisions for replacing the internal battery within the sealed case.  The manual states that "If Secure Key isn’t frequently used, plug device into a powered USB port for 90 minutes every 90 days to maintain optimum battery performance."  I have had good experiences with my device and there have been no battery-related issues.

**Q: Does this support a self-destruct pin?**
A: By default, the Self-Destruct feature is disabled. To allow the Secure Key to be set with a Self-Destruct PIN, Enter the Admin mode. Answer is yes.

**Q: how is the usb personal security device used with online banking**
A: The Secure Key is a thumb-drive that has internal security features. However, it's still functions like any thumb-drive. You can save things from your device onto the Secure Key or you can copy something from your Secure Key and save it, or sent it someplace else. I don't imagine the your information would be secure while it's being transferred. I hope this helps.

**Q: Will the device experience data loss if the battery is fully discharged for a long period of time?**
A: It does not under normal circumstances. It charges its battery when you plug it into live USB, but the memory itself is non-volatile and doesn't need battery to keep its data.
