To undock your OmniBook
•
Press the Undock button on the docking system.
After the OmniBook closes down any connections to the docking system, the
docking system ejects the computer.
You can protect against unauthorized undocking using your OmniBook password. See
“To setup a password” .
If for some reason you can’t undock the OmniBook using the Undock button, you can
manually undock it. Insert a paper clip or other thin object into the security opening and
press firmly. Continue holding, and slide the OmniBook forward. Since manual
undocking overrides any password, you need to keep a Kensington lock in the security
slot to absolutely enforce password protection.
