the panel connection.
2.  Loosen the HDMI 
connection mounting screw 
from the panel enough 
to allow the LockIt lacing 
bracket to be placed over it. 
The screw does not have to 
be removed.
3.  Place the LockIt lacing 
bracket on the screw 
and against the HDMI 
connector, then tighten 
the screw to secure the 
bracket.
ATTENTION:
•  Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The 
shield it fastens to is very thin and can easily be stripped.
•  Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. 
Le blindage auquel elle est attachée est très n et peut 
facilement être dénudé
4.  Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and 
the LockIt lacing bracket as shown.
5.  While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use 
pliers or similar tool to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess 
length.
