2. Precautions for insertion and mating

qDo not insert the cable diagonally, the corners of the

cable might get hooked on the connector which can

damage the contacts.

qInsert the cable straight

into the opening at a

slight angle to ensure a

complete connection.

wRotate the actuator

down to close the

actuator.

wFFC must not over lap

Do not close the actuator until the FFC has been placed

into its correct position. If it is sitting on the guides and

the actuator closes onto it, it can cause damage and

alter its performance.

If the lock is closed with the cable running over the

guide, do not move the cable. In this case, open the

actuator first and re-insert the cable to the position

explained in “1. Insertion position.”

In the event that the lock is closed and the cable was

not in its correct position, do not try to move the cable.

Release the lock immediately and open the actuator

back up, remove and re-position the cable as explained

previously in “1. Insertion position.”
