4. Setup

The Renkforce USB Port Blocker is designed for simple, tool-free installation.

1. Identify the USB port you wish to block on your computer, laptop, or USB hub.
2. Take one USB port blocker. Ensure the small metal contacts are facing the correct orientation to align with the USB port.
3. Gently insert the USB port blocker into the desired USB port until it is fully seated. You should feel a slight click or resistance, indicating it is securely in place.

Once inserted, the port blocker will physically prevent any USB device from being plugged into that port.

5. Operating Instructions

The USB port blockers are passive security devices. Their operation is straightforward:

• Blocking a Port: As described in the Setup section, simply insert a blocker into an unused USB port. It will remain in place, preventing any other USB device from being connected.
• Unblocking a Port: To remove a USB port blocker, you will need the corresponding key (not included in this package, but typically sold separately or with a master kit). Insert the key into the blocker and gently pull to release it from the port.

These blockers are ideal for securing multiple ports on a desktop PC, laptop, or USB hub in environments where physical access needs to be restricted.

6. Maintenance

The Renkforce USB Port Blockers require minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the blockers with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store unused blockers in a clean, dry place away from dust and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the blockers for any signs of damage or wear. Replace any damaged blockers to ensure optimal security.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your USB Port Blockers, consider the following:

• Blocker does not insert fully: Ensure the USB port is clear of debris. Check the orientation of the blocker. Do not force it, as this may damage the port or the blocker.
• Blocker is difficult to remove: Ensure you are using the correct removal key (if applicable to your setup). Apply gentle, steady pressure. If the blocker is stuck, do not use excessive force.
• Blocker appears loose: Verify that the blocker is fully inserted. If it remains loose, the USB port itself might be damaged, or the blocker may be faulty. Try a different blocker or port.
