4. Compatibility

The MicroSaver 2.0 Keyed Ultra Cable Lock is designed for devices equipped with a standard Kensington Security Slot (K-slot). It is important to verify your device's lock slot type before use.

• Standard (K-slot) Compatibility: This lock is compatible with the standard Kensington Security Slot, typically measuring 1/4 x 1/8 inch (7 x 3 mm).
• Important Note on Dell Devices: This lock is not compatible with several 2016 Dell laptops and tablets, including some Inspiron, Latitude, Venue, XPS, and Chromebook 13 models that utilize the Noble lock slot. Please review your device’s technical specifications to confirm the lock slot type.

3. Insert the Lock Head: Insert the T-Bar lock head into the Kensington Security Slot on your device.

Operating your Kensington MicroSaver 2.0 lock is straightforward:

• To Lock: Insert the lock head into the security slot and turn the key clockwise until the lock engages. Remove the key.
• To Unlock: Insert the key into the lock head and turn it counter-clockwise. The T-Bar mechanism will retract, allowing you to remove the lock head from the security slot.

Always ensure the lock is fully engaged before leaving your device unattended.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your security lock:

• Keep Keys Safe: Store your spare key in a secure location separate from the primary key.
• Clean Regularly: Wipe the lock and cable with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Lubrication (Optional): If the locking mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the keyhole. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
• Inspect for Damage: Periodically check the cable and lock head for any signs of wear or damage. If significant damage is observed, discontinue use and consider replacement.

8. Troubleshooting

• Lock Does Not Fit Slot:

  Ensure your device has a standard Kensington Security Slot (K-slot). This lock is not compatible with Nano or Wedge-Shaped slots. Refer to Section 4: Compatibility for details. Also, confirm your device is not one of the incompatible 2016 Dell models.

• Key Is Stiff or Hard to Turn:

  Ensure the key is fully inserted into the lock. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole. Do not force the key.

• Lock Head Cannot Be Removed:

  Ensure the key is turned completely counter-clockwise to fully retract the T-Bar mechanism. Gently wiggle the lock head while pulling it out of the slot.
