Providing Strain Relief for Communications Cable
If you are connecting a communications cable to the print-
er permanently, use the strain relief features built into the belt
clip retainer to prevent excessive strain on the communica-
tions connector. There are two kinds of strain relief features.
If you are using the printer with the standard belt clip, bend
the cable in a broad loop to relieve stress on the connector
and press it into the retaining feature on the belt clip retainer
as shown in figure 14.
