Any connected USB mass storage devices should always be removed by using the Remove safely feature to ensure that all data are saved.

Users on their device can right-click the USB icon (live information icon) on the system bar and then click Remove safely.

Defining a key combination for safe removal of all USB devices

In the Scout Console, you can define a key combination that allows the users to remove all connected USB mass storage devices safely in one step. The following instructions use the key combination alt+Windows+S as an example:

In the Scout Console, for the relevant devices, open Advanced device configuration > Advanced file entries.

[Define the following entry]
