NOTICE

The following instructions are meant to take the place of the 'Installation' and 'Cable Management' sections of the Owner's Manual (Pages 4-6). Please read all included instructions thoroughly before beginning installation.

1). Place Docking Station top side down on a stable surface and connect all necessary cables needed for operation.

NOTE: Do not exceed a cable diameter of 0.315" (8.00 mm)

NOTE: Only six (6) total cables can be routed through the Cable Cover.

2). With all cables connected, determine the optimal routing of cables to the Cable Cover exits, taking care to avoid cable obstructions. For all cables with a diameter less than 0.25" (6.0 mm), cut small strips of supplied Foam Tape to wrap around cables to enlarge the diameter to the optimal 0.25". Ensure the Foam Tape is positioned at the determined exit point from Cable Cover.

3). For each exiting cable, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut through the center of a rubber Grommet in order to insert the cable into Grommet hole. (Fig. A) DO NOT CUT GROMMETS FOR CABLE COVER EXITS WITHOUT EXITING CABLES. Instead, add a Grommet Plug and insert Grommet into the Cable Cover in the orientation shown. (Fig. B)

Fig. B: Plug un-cut Grommet

4). Secure the cut Grommet around cable or Foam Tape in the position identified in Step 2. Insert Grommets with cables intact into the appropriate cable exits in the Cable Cover, taking care to not pinch cables. Use a Grommet with Grommet Plug for all exits not occupied with a Grommet and cable.

5). Lower Cable Cover into place on Docking Station, making sure all six cable exits have a Grommet with cable inserted, or a Grommet with Grommet Plug inserted. Fasten #8-32 Pan Head Phillips Screws in 6 places as shown. Torque all six #8-32 Pan Head Phillips Screws to 20 ± 10% in-lbs.

6). Insert Zip Ties into strain relief holes on the Cable Cover in order to secure exiting cables. Cut off excess from connected Zip Ties. Ensure that Zip Tie is routed beneath cable for adequate strain relief.

If you are routing Antenna cable(s) (Part # DS-PAN-214-2), use Push Pin Zip Ties supplied with the Docking Station Hardware Kit to secure the cable(s) to the Strain Relief Holes at the back of the Docking Station. Then route the cables to the cable bundle and secure as specified in the Owner's Manual (Page 6, Step 5).

1). Taking care to remove any excess moisture which may be present, remove Docking Connector Cover by unscrewing the two thumb screws. Use the Tether Loop if desired to attach Docking Connector Cover to a fixed object. (Tether not included) If Tether option is not used, store Docking Connector Cover in a safe, dry location.

2). Follow Docking and Undocking instructions in the Owner's Manual (Pages 7-8), making sure to apply downward pressure to the computer while latching in order to sufficiently compress the Gasket surrounding the Docking Connector.
