To attach a security cable

1. Purchase a Kensington-brand security cable—they’re available at many computer

stores.

2. Loop the cable around a stationary object—make sure it can’t slip off.
3. Lock the clamp into the OmniBook security connector (the small hole in the side of

the case).

To set up a password

You can protect your OmniBook against unauthorized use by activating password
security. If you use password security, you must enter the password at certain times
when you turn on the OmniBook.

Setting Up a Password

Click Start and HP User Tools, then on the Setup tab click OmniBook—then go to the
Password tab.

You can create a “user” password for normal protection against unauthorized
use.

You can also create an “administrator” password for a system administrator or
as a backup for the user password—or your system administrator might set up
this password.

C A U T I O N

Be sure you record your password in a safe place. To restore operation if you forget
your password, you’ll have to call Hewlett-Packard at the number in the

Service

and Support booklet or the OmniBook Support icon in Program Manager (in the
OmniBook Library group).
