1. Cut the existing mast cable.

   Ensure that sufficient length remains to easily make the connections and remove them again if necessary.

2. Remove 30 mm (1.18 in) of the cable insulation/sheath.
3. Remove 7 mm (0.28 in) of insulation from each wire.
4. Cut the supplied heat shrink tube to an appropriate size (e.g.: 23 mm (0.91 in)), and push all the way along the ground wire (the wire which has no insulation).
5. Re-tin each wire.
