Secure the MR42E

be secured in several ways. If the MR42E has been installed using the mount cradle, it should be secured via security
screw (Torx security screws are included) and/or Kensington lock. If the mount cradle was not used, the MR42E can still
be secured using a Kensington lock.

Security Screw

Install the security screw in the lower mount cradle tab.

Kensington Lock

Attach a Kensington lock cable to the access point at the hard point on the side of the device.
Attach the other end of the cable to a secure location, such as a pipe or building fixture.
