Operating the XF Rotary Backlock
For Inserting the FPC/FFC
1. Insert the FPC/FFC fully to the back of the connector.
2. Activate the slider (lever) and lock the FPC/FFC in place.
For removing the FPC/FFC
1. Move the slider (lever) upwards to disengage the locking
mechanism.
2.Once the lock has been disengaged, pull the FPC/FFC out.
For Operating
1. Insert the FPC/FFC fully to the back of the connector to ensure
contact reliability.
2. Do not lock the slider (lever) without an FPC/FFC inserted.
Locking the slider (lever) without an FPC/FFC inserted will
increase the force required to insert an FPC/FFC.
3. Do not lock or unlock the slider (lever) with excessive force. The
connector may be damaged, resulting in faulty contacts. Do not
use the slider (lever) again if it becomes detached.
4. When locking the slider (lever), apply pressure with your fingertips
to both sides of the slider (lever) and then twist the slider (lever)
until it comes away from the unit. Failing to lock the slider (lever)
properly may result in contact failure.
Do not apply force horizontally to the PCB when locking the slider
(lever).
The connector may be damaged, resulting in faulty contacts.
