1. Open the cable clamp and unwrap the cable.
2. Wrap the cable around or through items you wish to secure. If the lock is
freestanding or attached to the item being protected, pass the cable
through a fixed object such as a post or railing. If locking a bicycle, wrap
the cable through the frame, both wheels, and the fixed object for optimal
security.
3. Leave as little slack on the cable as possible by wrapping any excess cable
around or through objects multiple times.
4. Open the black tab next to the lock cylinder, revealing the cable lock hole.

Tip: Thieves have better leverage to attack locks that are located
near the ground. Secure the lock and cable a fe w feet above the
ground to best deter thieves.
5. Insert the steel end of the cable firmly into the cable lock hole. Ensure it
is inserted fully. On recently-purchased locks, the cable may require
additional, gentle force to fit into the cable lock hole. See Troubleshooting
for more information.
