    Align and fully insert the LVDS cable connectors into their respective connector cages. Full • insertion is identified by an audible click. Ensure the two LVDS cables are fully seated and latched into their respective receptacles on • the RF Module by lightly pulling outward on the connectors. If fully seated and locked into position, the cable connectors will not slide back out. Maintain adequate strain‐relief distances from the connection points to the RF Module. • RF Cable Connections The RF Module cables that are pre‐installed in the PRU connect to the corresponding connectors on the RF Module. The RF Module cables correlate to the antenna connectors on the bottom of the PRU chassis.

    Handle  the  RF  Module  with  care  during  installation.  Be  especially  careful  to  not  damage  the  thermal‐interface material (TIM), which is attached to the LPA. If the TIM is damaged, the LPA  can overheat. Before installing the RF Module, check to see if the heatsink material is gouged or  cracked. If the TIM is damaged, do not install the RF Module and contact TE Connectivity for  assistance (see “Contacting TE Connectivity” on page 46 for contact information). CAUTION! If the thermal‐interface material is damaged, the installation and use of the RF Module may void  the warranty of the RF Module.
