Using the Security Lock

The security lock is a device used to physically ‘fix’ the system when using it in a pub-
lic place. The locking device needs to be purchased separately. The shape and meth-
ods of use may differ depending on the manufacturer. Please refer to the manual
provided with the security lock for proper use.

Connect the security lock cable to a fixed object, and to the security lock port.
