Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Targus DEFCON
Motion Data Protection Anti-Theft PC Card. The DEFCON
MDP is a notebook computer security system that helps protect
your valuable computer and its data from theft – even when
your computer is turned off.
The DEFCON MDP features a motion activated alarm and
security software system, which includes the CaveoCrypt™
encryption program. When the motion system is armed, you'll
hear alert and warning sounds when movement is detected. If
the movement continues beyond a distance specified by the
owner, the security software:
• Shuts down the operating system (if the computer is on)
• Activates the emergency password required to obtain access
to the operating system if the computer is restarted
• Secures keys to encrypted data, even if the DEFCON MDP
card is connected
• Sounds an alarm (optional)
CAUTION: Keep the DEFCON MDP “disarmed” when in a
moving vehicle such as a bus, train or airplane, as the
vibrations may trigger the alarm.
