To connect the USB cable with the FluorPen device Follow the picture instructions below. Please note that a lock-in
system is used to secure the USB cable to the FluorPen and extreme caution has to be used when setting up the
connection. Otherwise damage to the cable pins may occur.
When connecting the USB cable take extra caution to prevent damage to cable connector pins.
