Step 4 Insert the keyhole clip into the keyhole and maintain a slight pressure to hold the access point in place.

Step 5 Slightly rotate the access point from side-to-side until you hear the second keyhole clip falling into the other keyhole that is located on the opposite end of the access point and is not visible.

Step 6 Slide the access point back over the keyhole clips. You will hear a click when the locking detent contacts the access point and locks it into place.
