Frequently Asked Questions - JumpDrive Fingerprint F35 LEXAR

Why doesn't my computer recognize the F35 flash drive?

Re-attach the flash drive to the USB port and ensure the fingerprint management application is running. If the issue persists, try a different USB port or restart your computer.

Why does the flash drive show less capacity than expected?

The total capacity is divided between a public partition and a secure partition. You can adjust the sizes using the fingerprint management software after authentication.

Can I access the secure partition via a smartphone?

No, only the public partition is accessible via smartphone. The secure partition requires the fingerprint sensor, which is only available when connected to a computer.

Why can't I save files larger than 4GB to the flash drive?

The default file system is FAT32, which has a 4GB file size limit. To transfer larger files, reformat the drive to exFAT (note: this will erase all data). The fingerprint application will remain intact.

Which operating systems support the fingerprint management application?

The fingerprint application is compatible with Windows XP+SP3, Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and Windows 10 (32 & 64-bit). It does not support macOS or Linux for fingerprint management.

What is the minimum operating system requirement to set up accounts or change partition size?

Windows XP or later is required to run the fingerprint management software. The software must be used to set up administrator/user accounts or adjust the partition sizes.

Can I access the secure partition on older Windows, Mac, or Linux systems?

Yes, after authentication on a compatible Windows system, the secure partition acts as a regular USB drive and can be accessed on Windows, Linux, and macOS for file reading/writing.

Why does the secure partition disappear after 15 minutes?

As a security feature, the secure partition automatically closes after 15 minutes of inactivity. To re-access, place an authorized fingerprint on the sensor and it will reopen.

What encryption does the Lexar F35 use?

The drive uses 256-bit AES hardware encryption. Fingerprint data is stored with a unique UID from the fingerprint IC, ensuring data is irrecoverable if the drive is physically tampered with.

How many incorrect password attempts are allowed before the drive self-destructs?

If the administrator password is entered incorrectly more than 254 times in a row, the drive will erase all data and require firmware recovery to be used again.

FAQ

After plugging in my USB flash drive, why doesn't my computer recognize it?

Please re-attach the flash drive and run the application again.

Why does the flash drive show less than the total capacity?

The total capacity is divided up between the public partition and secure partition. Users can change the capacity of the secure partition once their fingerprints have been authenticated.

Can the secure partition of the flash drive be accessed through my smartphone?

Only the public partition can be accessed through your smartphone.

Why can't files larger than 4GB be saved to the flash drive?

The initial format of the F35 is FAT32; you need to re-format it to exFAT when transmitting files larger than 4GB. Please note all files on the drive will be lost if you re-format. However, the fingerprint application itself, will not be erased.

What systems are compatible with the fingerprint application?

The fingerprint application can be operated in Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10.

What are the minimum requirements to set up an admin/user account or change the partition size of the drive?

The fingerprint application requires Windows XP and up. The fingerprint application is required to setup any accounts or changes to the partition size.

If I have an older version of Windows, Mac OS, or Linux, can I still access the public and secure partitions?

Regular flash drive use is compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Why does the secure partition disappear after 15 minutes?

The secure partition is designed to close after 15 minutes of inactivity for security purposes. To re-access the secure partition, simply place an authorized fingerprint on the sensor and it will re-open.

What type of encryption is used on the Lexar F35 fingerprint flash drive?

Encryption is based on the 256-bit AES method. The fingerprint data is saved on the flash drive with an exclusive UID produced by FP IC. Since the fingerprint data and fingerprint algorithm is separate, the data saved in the secure partition will be lost if the flash drive is dismantled by

force.

How many chances do I have to enter my administrator password correctly?

If the user enters an incorrect password more than 254 times in succession, the F35 will start the process of self-destruction. All data in the USB flash drive will be erased, and the F35 can only be recovered by downloading the firmware again.

Why can't I access the secure partition after placing my finger on the fingerprint sensor several times?

Ensure your fingerprint and sensor are clean and dry. If that doesn't work, try re-attaching the flash drive.
