Universal Security DEFCON VPCL Combination Cable Lock

Connecting the Pass-through Cable

1.Turn off your computer (if it is on).

2.Remove the current video cable, if there is one, from your computer.

3.Connect one end of the supplied pass-through cable to the video port on your computer and the other end to your video device.

4.Turn on your computer.

Securing the DEFCON VPCL to an Object

Select an object in the room to which you will secure your computer with the DEFCON VPCL. Choose a large, heavy piece of furniture such as a table or desk, or immovable fixture such as a closet hanging bar.

1.Wrap the looped end of the cable around part of the selected object. Make sure you use a part of the object that will prevent an intruder from slipping the cable off (for example, a table or desk leg with a cross bar, or a drawer handle).

2.Feed the lock through the lopped end of the cable as shown.

Setting the Combination

1.Enter the current combination so that the numbers align horizontally with the embossed lines between the dials. If you are setting the combination for the first time, enter the preset combination 0000.

2.Using a small flat-head screwdriver or similar object, push in and rotate the reset screw 90 degrees counterclockwise so that the screw’s groove is vertical.

3.Using the dials, enter the new combination.

4.Rotate the reset screw 90 degrees clockwise, back to its original horizaontal position to save the new combination.

5.Record the combination in either the space provided at the end of this guide or another secure, easy-to-find place.

NOTE: For best results, test the combination BEFORE attaching the lock to your computer via the pass-through cable. Never attempt to remove the DEFCON VPCL without entering the combination. To do so may physically damage the lock and your computer. Targus assumes no responsibility for lost misplaced, forgotten, lost, or stolen combination.

DEFCON PC Lock and Security Base Plate

Included with your DEFCON VPCL is the PC Lock and Security Base Plate for the security of desktop computers.

Using the DEFCON PC Lock

The PC Lock consists of a lock base, an attachment screw, and a security plate. When attached to a desktop computer, the lock provides a convenient anchorage point for your DEFCON PC Lock or a notebook computer lock. The PC Lock does not require tools for installation. However, you may want to use a screwdriver to securely fasten the lock to your computer. You can use either a Philips or flat head screwdriver. Avoid overtightening the screw as doing so may cause damage to the screw’s threading, making it difficult to remove.
