| [* icon_note] The locking tab should be nearly vertical when unlocked. If it isn't, gently push the tab forward to compress the waterproofing gel and unlock the tab. | |

| [* icon_note] It doesn't have to look pretty! You just need to remove enough coating to have the cable sit properly in its connector. |
