Q. DEFCON Cable Lock. What is a DEFCON Cable Lock and how does it
work?
A. The PORT-Noteworthy DEFCON CL is the only system that combines a
galvanized steel cable with a high quality 4 digit resettable combination lock
designed to fit the security lock of most notebook computers. Weighs only 6.2
ounces and is perfect for travel. With over 9,000 user-settable combination, this
keyless notebook cable lock gives you the hassle-free of carrying or losing a key.
The PORT-Noteworthy DEFCON Cable Lock (CL) utilizes 6.5 feet of cut-resistant,
galvanized steel cable to attach your notebook to any secure object. Simply loop
the lock around a desk or chair, insert the DEFCON CL into your notebook's lock
slot and set the combination. The included security base plate provides another
convenient way to lock down a notebook or desktop equipped with a security lock

Q. Difficult to insert into/stay connected to my Notebook. My notebook
has a Lock slot, but I can’t get the DEFCON CL to stay attached. Can you help?
A. There are many variations of notebook lock slots. Some fit nicely and
others do need an extra push. One tip to try is while pressing in on the

DEFCON CL lock slot attachment, apply pressure to the opposite side of
the notebook.
Also, the foam on the locking head is only there for cosmetic purposes.
The lock will function just as effectively without the foam and it can be
removed to make the insertion of the DEFCON CL locking head easier.
Q. Using the DEFCON CL on various desks/surfaces. How can I use the
DEFCON CL on my desk when it has no legs?
A. Included with the DEFCON CL package as a small kit called a
DEFCON Base Plate. This Base Plate can be securely attached to any
solid surface and then used to loop the DEFCON CL cable through the
base plate.
Q. Lost Combinations. How can I unlock the DEFCON CL when the
combination has been lost?
A. There is no magic button on the DEFCON CL. If the combination is
lost, the cable is unusable. Since there are 9000 different combinations the
lock can not be easily picked.
