CONNECTING THE EPORT G9 TELEMETER TO THE CARD READER

Antenna
Below the “ANTENNA” designation on the label of the Telemeter, is a round connector. Insert the round connector at the end of the antenna wire into this connector until it “clicks”. It is important to leave the antenna wire unbounded and hanging loosely for best reception.
Connecting the ePort G9 to the card reader
Of the three cables coming from the Telemeter, the cable with the small black connector is used to connect to the card reader. Insert the card reader’s black connector into the connector of the Telemeter until seated firmly. The connection is shown in FIG. 22.
Connecting the ePort G9 to the TouchTunes Interface Cable
The interface cable that connects the ePort G9 Telemeter to the TouchTunes entertainment system is a gray cable with three connectors on it; two connectors at one end, and a single connector at the other. The end with the two connectors is used to connect to the ePort G9. The white connector on the interface cable connects to a white mating connector on one of the cables coming from the ePort G9 Telemeter. The black connector on the interface cable connects to the Auxiliary Port of the ePort G9 Telemeter which is located below the “AUX” designation on the label of the ePort G9 telemeter. See FIG. 23.
