1.
Make a perpendicular cut in the cable that will be used as the branch line
(the branch cable). The cable will not fit in the connector properly if the cut
is not straight and perpendicular.
2.
Snap Cover 1 onto the branch cable. Make sure that the hook locks into
place.
3.
Line up the end of Cover 1 with the end of the branch cable.
4.
Position Cover 1 onto Surface 1 of the contact block (the side with the cable
stop). The pattern of the contact block is different on Surface 2, so Cover
1 cannot be fitted on Surface 2.
5.
Snap Cover 2 onto the cable being used as the main line (the main cable).
Make sure that the hook locks into place. Cover 2 can still slide along the
cable when locked.
6.
Slide Cover 2 to the point on the main cable where you want the branch
line.
