1.Connect the I/F cable to the Base Station (see Figure 2A). The I/F cable is inserted into the connector and the cable retainer clip is rotated over the cable overmold until the retainer snaps in place (see Figure 2B). To disconnect the cable, push in on the retainer (away from the catch on the plastic wall) to release it and enable it to swing upward, allowing the cable to be pulled free (see Figure 2C).
