Targus DEFCON TL User manual

Targus DEFCON™TL
Thank you for purchasing the Targus DEFCON TL Travel
Lock. The DEFCON TL helps deter theft of your carrying case
or luggage using a high strength, vinyl coated, stainless steel
cable and resettable three-digit combination lock.
Unlike traditional “shackle” locks, the DEFCON TL has a
flexible cable providing an easier and more convenient
approach to attaching the lock to your property; the resettable
feature eliminates the need for keys, enabling you to change
your combination for increased security.
In addition to this user’s guide, this package contains the
DEFCON TL.
If the lock is missing or damaged, contact Technical Support
immediately. For more information, refer to “Technical
Support” on page 6.
