Grommets
Install both the remote cable grommets, using the following procedure.
Important The remote cable grommets must be installed whenever the
remote cable is plugged into the RJ45 sockets. When
installed, the grommets have two functions:
â– to prevent damage to the RJ45 sockets when there is
movement of the remote cable, and
â–
to ensure that the radio and remote control-head assembly
is sealed against water, dust and other environmental
hazards.
1. Slide the grommet along the remote cable and push two adjacent
corners of the grommet into the RJ45 socket cavity.
2. Squeeze the grommet and push the remaining corners into position.
3. Check that the grommet is seated correctly in the cavity.
