Installing optical contacts on socket side

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove the dust boot right before plugging.
Check the proper condition of the contact.
At a force of 10 N (7.5 ftlb.) the springs installed in the joint will be pressed together. This leads to an increase in attenuation, which could lead to system impairment and system failure. Therefore, a maximum of 10 N (7.5 ftlb.) can be used to pull the LWL from the joint.

Insert the optical contacts -B- and -A- in the module until it engages audibly. Check the optical contacts for tightness.
