1. If necessary, remove the used desiccant—the gel will look pink or white—from

desiccant connector from the cable connector.
2. Attach the new desiccant to the cable.
Attaching cables or accessories is a simple matter of mating the TwistLock connectors. This is easy after you've done it once or twice. For
detailed steps and photographs, see the Product Quick Start Guide, or
