Operation
1. FPC/FFC Termination procedure.
Connector installed on the board.
1) Lift up the actuator. Use thumb or index finger.
Precautions
1) Avoid further lifting of the lock lever once the lock has been
released. Doing so will cause the lock lever to separate
from the rotational shaft, and the lock lever will become dis-
engaged or the hook portion of the connector body will be
damaged.

2) Fully insert the FPC/FFC parallel to mounting sur-
face, with the exposed conductive traces facing
UP.

2) Avoid further pressing of the lock portion from the
locked condition when the FPC/FFC has not yet
been inserted. Doing so will cause the lock lever to
become disengaged from the rotational shaft, and
the hook portion of the connector body will be
damaged.

3) Rotate down the actuator until firmly closed.
It is critical that the inserted FPC/FFC is not moved
and remains fully inserted. Should the FPC/FFC be
moved, open the actuator and repeat the process,
starting with Step 1 above.
3) Do not insert the FPC/FFC diagonally. Doing so will
result in the corners of the FPC/FFC catching on the
contacts and will cause deformation of the contacts.
2. FPC/FFC Removal
1) Lift up the actuator.
2) Carefully remove the FPC/FFC.
4) When closing down the actuator apply equal pres-
sure to both sides of the actuator.
