Figure 3-6 Visually Aligning Clamp and Nut Flats

Positioning the connector

See Figure 3-7.Maneuver the clamp over the RF connector and onto the test port connector.

1.Hold the test cable with one hand. Use the other hand to press the clamp gently and steadily, as you wiggle it into position straight over the RF connector and onto the test port connector nut.

Be sure to loosen the clamp when you are slipping it over the connector.

2.Fit the internal flats in the clamp over the flats on the test port connector nut.

3.Avoid rotating the clamp as you position it so the RF connection remains tight (remember it loosens easily).
