3. Long (needle) nose pliers.

4. Second pair of pliers or a 5/16” nut driver to tighten the SMA connector nut.

The following tools are strongly recommended:

1. ESD wrist strap.

2. Static dissipating work pad.

Firmware Required

The K3EXREF requires firmware version 4.28 or later installed in your K3. Your K3 Owner’s manual has
complete instructions for updating your firmware.
