Slide the shutter into the rails from the open left side. Insert the short end-stop piece at that entrance. Thread a soft 1.5–2 mm cord through BOTH aligned holes in the body and end stop, then tie it to the packing-cube loop. The cord is essential: without it the stop is not retained. Slide the shutter to cover the state that does not apply; read the uncovered word. V1 includes CLEAN/WORN only.
