Connecting the
Kensington lock
It's an unfortunate fact of modern life that
something as portable and valuable as your
computer has a chance of leaving your desk in
the wrong hands. While the computer itself can
be replaced, the data it contains may be
irreplaceable. An investment of a few dollars
and a few moments can prevent a disaster.
You can secure your computer using a standard
Kensington lock. If your computer store does
not carry Kensington locks, you can buy one
directly from Texas Instruments.
Follow these instructions to secure your
computer using a Kensington lock.
1. Secure the looped end of the Kensington
lock cable to a permanent fixture within
reach of your computer.
2. Insert the Kensington lock into the slot on
the left side of the computer.
