Figure 6.1: Placing the tip of the proximal connector into the lead adapter slot. 

2.

 

Push the lead down into the slot completely using finger (see Figure 6.2), so that 
the lead is flush with the top of the slot. The lead should not move when fully 
pushed into the slot. After the lead is in the slot, press down again along its length 
to ensure it is secure in the slot. 

 

Figure 6.2: Pushing lead into slot.

Place the top cover of the lead adapter over the lead with the open side of the top 
cover aligned with the lead adapter plug. Slide the top cover all the way onto the 
lead adapter until the notch on the top cover clips into place (refer to Figure 6.3).
