o’ring on the housing back and
that it is clean and in its proper
location
Place housing with the port
pointing down in your lap or on a
flat surface
Guide the back onto the housing
The o’ring should touch the
housing all the way around There
should be an even gap all the way
around between the housing and
the housing back
Lift the lid snaps so they are
extended and place the lid snap
into the hook on the housing

To close the housing push
down on the lid snaps until
they snap into place Lid
snaps on opposite sides of the

far enough to engage the lock
