The possibility of computer theft always exists.
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.
