Usage recommendations

Use the Dell 461-AAEU cable lock as a deterrent to opportunistic theft; secure the cable to an immovable anchor and choose a personal combination code. For locations with higher theft risk, consider combining physical locks with additional security measures such as cable routing through anchored fixtures, monitored storage, or supervised areas. Keep combination details secure and register recovery options if available.
