Disconnecting the FAKRA Connector
1.
Hold the FAKRA connector between your thumb and finger as shown in Figure 48.
2.
Press down firmly, with your thumb, on the raised section of the FAKRA thumb
release (Figure 48).
Pressing the thumb release will cause part of the release, closest to the modem, to lift.
CAUTION
Do not pull on the FAKRA connector unless
the thumb release is down, or you may damage
the connector.
3.
Pull the FAKRA connector away from the modem while firmly holding down the
thumb release (Figure 48).
This causes the FAKRA connector to disconnect from the modem.
