Attach the Stand
If you prefer to place the extender in the upright (vertical) position, attach the stand that 
comes with the extender. 
 To attach the stand:
1.  Place the stand on a flat surface.
2.  Hold the extender in upright position with 
the left side of the extender pointing down. 
The left side is the one with three 
rectangular openings.
The top panel of the extender and the 
three vertical support posts of the stand 
must face the same direction.
3.  Lower the extender onto the stand until the 
support posts of the stand snap into the 
rectangular openings of the extender.
