Figure 17: Replacing TEKPROBE Interface Pins

To remove the TEKPROBE interface collar, firmly grasp the body of the output
head with one hand, and the TEKPROBE interface collar with the other hand.
Firmly pull the interface collar off.

To replace the collar, first note the pin configuration in the interface collar. The
group of three pins fit through the smaller of the two holes in the interface collar.
Align the tab to the slot and gently press the two pieces together. See Figure 18.

Once installed, the TEKPROBE collar should rotate freely to lock and unlock.
