2.
Insert your card. To keep your
card securely in its slot, cushion
it by placing small or medium-
sized foam pieces inside the
top of the cap. Insert enough
foam into the cap so that
when you slide the cap back
onto the Field PC with little
pressure, a ¼ inch (6 mm)
gap remains between the cap
and the Field PC as shown.
¼ in. (6 mm) gap
3. Tighten the Communication Cap screws
until they are rmly in place. To properly
seal the cap, apply an extra ¼ to ½
turn after the screws become
hard to turn.
