Insert the Adapter into the DataStick Body until it bottoms out. Rotate the Adapter until
it engages with the connector. Push the adapter in gently, and then tighten the retaining
ring with a 15/16-inch wrench. It is very important to tighten the retaining ring to ensure
a reliable connection. The different parts of the Adapter are shown in Figure 11.
