Step 3
Place the support brackets under the table and place them between the support mount
grooves on the side of the unit. Attach the brackets to the groove at the desired height

provided with the additional wing nuts for added tightening. See Diagram 3 for details.

Secure all cables to the underside of the table using the cable clamps and screws
included with the TNP. Pass the power cord from the bottom of the housing and attach it
to the table separate from the signal cables. Leave enough slack in the service loop to
allow for easy opening and closing, but not too much as to cause excess drooping of the service loop.
