The antenna coaxial shall be connected only after the module has been seated in the host laptop and according to

the following steps below:

1. Offer the female plug up to the module socket ensuring that the barrels of both connecting parts are

parallel.

2. Press gently on the back plate of the female plug in the same plane as the barrels of both connecting parts.

3. Remove pressure as soon as the connection is made. The connection is made when a click is felt.

NOTE: Excessive twisting moments during connection may result in damage to the internal conductors.

NOTE: No strain should be placed upon the antenna coaxial or female plug.
