Connect and screw the mating cable to the Iridium Edge's pigtail connector. Tighten until finger
tight. Do not use any wrenches or tools to tighten the cable connectors.

hanging cable is properly strain relieved and not left hanging such that the cable's weight and
vibration pulls on the Iridium Edge's pigtail connector.
