1.

The TS100 is a small free-standing box designed to sit on a shelf
or other convenient surface. The unit can be mounted under a
shelf using double-sided tape or Velcro

®

(not supplied).

2. Run the cable to the TS100. Label the cable for future reference.

3. Locate the connector on the TS100 and remove it. 

4. Next, strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each wire. Tightly

twist the end of each wire until there are no frayed ends.

5. Use a small flathead screwdriver or your thumbnail to raise the

locking tabs, exposing the holes on the removable connectors.
