2. Unplug the key switch, battery leads, and USB port from the back of your 18R2 and remove the USB port from the back half of the old 18R2 enclosure.

Tip: By tilting the white USB connector to lay vertically with the USB port wires, allows for easy removal and passthrough of the USB port on the 18R2 enclosure.

3. Remove the green adapter board that your key switch was previously plugged into (if applicable). To remove the board pull the board upwards away from the 18R2.


4. Install the SMPTE adapter in the same location/orientation where the green adapter board was installed. If you did not have the green board, please see the photo below for guidance.
