CAUTIONS:
•
The length of the exposed (stripped) portion of the copper wires is
important. The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Longer bare
wires can short together. Shorter bare wires are not as secure in the
direct insertion connectors and could be pulled out.
•
The captive screw audio connector can easily be inadvertently
plugged partially into one receptacle and partially into an adjacent
receptacle. This misconnection could damage the audio output
circuits. Ensure that the connector is plugged fully and only into the
desired input or output
NOTES:
•
When making connections for the MTP from existing audio cables, see
to identify the tip, ring, and sleeve wires in various connectors.
•
A mono audio connector consists of the tip and sleeve.
•
A stereo audio connector consists of the tip, ring, and sleeve.
•
The ring, tip, and sleeve wires are also shown on the captive screw audio
connector diagrams (see
).
