CAUTION:

• 

These units output continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the 
eyes; use with caution. For additional safety, plug the attached dust caps 
into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.

• 

Ces produits émettent une lumière invisible continue, qui peut être 
dangereuse pour les yeux ; à utiliser avec précaution. Pour une sécurité 
renforcée, associez les bouchons anti-poussière à l’ensemble émetteur/
récepteur optique lorsque le câble fibre optique est débranché.

2. 

Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the 
LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not have to be removed.

3. 

Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then 
tighten the screw to secure the bracket.

ATTENTION:

• 

Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw.  The shield it 
fastens to is very thin and can easily be stripped.

• 

Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage 
auquel elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.

4. 

Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing 
bracket as shown.  

5. 

While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or similar tools to tighten the tie wrap, then 
remove any excess length.
