The Keylock 2-3

The Keylock

The A4000 front

panel

keylock is designed to

prevent

unauthorized

use

of

the

Amiga.

When

the

keylock

key

is

in

the

unlocked position

the

keyboard

and

mouse work normally.

When

the

key is

in

the

locked position,

the

Amiga does

not

respond to keyboard

or

mouse activity. Remove

the

key

from

the

lock

when

in

the

locked position,

and

take

the

key

with

you to

prevent

unauthorized

access to

the

computer.

Note Although mouse motion

has

no effect

when

the

keylock

is locked,

the

Amiga does

respond

to

the

mouse

buttons.

Do

not

leave

the

mouse

pointer

over a

gadget

or icon

when

locking

it,

to

prevent

mouse

button

clicks

from

having

an

effect.

The

system

can

still be

turned

off

when

the

keylock

is

in

the

locked

position.

Turning

Off

the Amiga

When

you finish a computing session

and

want

to

turn

off

the

Amiga:

1. Save to disk

any

work

that

you

want

to

keep.

Turning

off

or

rebooting

the

Amiga

erases

whatever

is

in

memory.

Important:

Do

not

turn

off

or

reboot

the

Amiga while

any

disk

activity is

in

progress! Wait

at

least

5 seconds

after

all disk

drive activity lights

have

gone

out

before removing floppy disks

or

turning

off

the

Amiga. Also,

if

you

are

using

software

that

automatically saves

to

disk periodically

or

which allows

remote

access to

the

Amiga's disks

through

a network,

exit

the

software

or

disable

the

network connection before powering off or

rebooting.

2. Remove

any

disks from

the

floppy drive(s).
