∙Protecting Your Data.

Your OmniBook provides several ways for you to identify and protect your computer.

Attaching a Security Cable

Your OmniBook has three built-in connectors that allow you to secure the OmniBook with a cable—two on the back of the computer and one on the right side. The Kensington MicroSaver lock system works with these connectors and is available at many computer stores. The same lock works with an OmniBook docking system.

To attach a security cable

1.Wrap the cable around a stationary object, such as a table leg.

2.Loop the cable to create a slip knot around the stationary object. Make sure it can’t slip off.

3.Insert the lock into one of the OmniBook security connectors and release the key. Store the key in a safe place away from the OmniBook.
