DON'T FORGET TO SET THE COMBINATION ON YOUR TSA LOCK BEFORE USING!

WOULD YOU LIKE THE TOP ON EITHER THE MAIN COMPARTMENT OR FILE COVER TO OPEN MORE EASILY OR FIT A LITTLE MORE SNUGLY?

GRASP THE LATCH TONGUE FIRMLY AND PULL TOWARD YOU TO MAKE THE TOP STAY CLOSED A LITTLE BETTER OR PUSH THE LATCH TONGUE AWAY FROM YOU TO MAKE A TOP OPEN EASIER. YOU CAN ALSO USE THIS TECHNIQUE IF YOUR LOCK IS TOO DIFFICULT TO INSTALL OR REMOVE. YOU MAY NEED TO REPEAT THE PROCESS PERIODICALLY.

Every CarGo Desk is designed to accept the TSA approved Search Alert locks offered by your CarGo Desk authorized distributor or retailer. The new SearchAlert resettable combination padlock offers two unique innovations in travel security:

1. SearchAlert may be opened with a secured access device controlled by Transportation Security Administration (TSA).  No SearchAlert lock should be cut off by TSA agents.
2. SearchAlert features a Security Window that changes color for Green to Red when any secured access device is used.

The Security Window shows RED under the following conditions:

• *Luggage checked at an airport is sent through an electronic screening.  If a TSA agent determines the luggage needs to be hand searched, th Search Alert lock will be opened by the agent.  When the TSA secured device is used, the Security Window changes color from Green to Red.  The Security Window also changes color from Green to Red if a counterfeit secured access device is used to open the SearchAlert lock.
• If a TSA agent hand searches a piece of luggage, the agent will leave a TSA Notification of Baggage Inspection in the bag. If the Search Alert lock Security Window shows red and no official Notification of Baggage Inspection is found, the traveler should take the luggage to the airline’s luggage claim office to determine if anything is missing, or if anything has been added to the luggage.

*Your CarGo Desk would be considered checked luggage for purposes of this discussion.

LOCKING YOUR NEW CARGO DESK

LATCH TONGUE
STEP 1 Grasp body of lock between fingers making sure shackle (metal "loop") is fully extended
STEP 2 I use my fingers as shown to keep the shackle from turning.  Alternately you can hold the lock with one hand and the shackle with the other.
STEP 3 I angle the lock slightly as I begin to pull down on the lock to get the shackle through the opening in the latch tongue.
STEP 4 Pull the lock down to the bottom of the slot in the latch tongue
STEP 5 Rotate the lock so that the combination dial faces you, close lock and push lock into recess.
UNLOCK YOUR CARGO DESK
STEP 1 Unlock and rotate so that the combination dials face away from you. Lift  the lock straight up vertically as far as it will go.
STEP 2 Push the lock body into the recess in the desk which will rotate the shackle out of the latch tongue slot and remove lock. The key is to not to put any pressure on the latch tongue (with the lock) while doing this as that tends to bind up the latch tongue and shackle and makes it impossible to get the lock out.
We recommend locking/unlocking the desk tops with the desk out of the car or alternately you can rotate the desk in the vehicle seat so that you can go through the procedure while standing outside of the vehicle and the desk facing you.
