Disassembly Procedures

The T1900/T1900C has two basic types of cable connectors:
Pressure Plate Connectors
Normal Pin Connectors
To disconnect a pressure plate connector, lift up the tabs on either side of the connector's
plastic pressure plate and slide the cable out of the connector. To connect the cable to a
pressure plate connector, make sure the pressure plate is fully lifted and slide the cable into the
connector. Secure the cable in place by pushing the sides of the pressure plate down so the
plate is flush with the sides of the connector. Gently pull on the cable to make sure the cable is
secure. If you pull out the connector, connect it again making sure the connector's pressure
plate is fully lifted when you insert the cable.
Standard pin connectors are used with all other cables. These connectors can be connected and
disconnected by simply pulling them apart or pushing them together.
