In the telecom business, we used to say 'how can keeping 4 wires straight for a business data circuit be so confusing'. On the other hand, There is nothing like connecting the wrong wire and tripping a 500KV breaker in the substation! Even sitting in the control house and the breaker way out in the switchyard, the sound was nearly deafening! A second was when I dropped the end of a live high current wire on the steel grate floor in the power station. That fraction of a second of blue light before the lights went out was interesting.

Nothing in this post's responses bothered me. But since we are on the subject, "Taking things in stride" is a necessity on the forum. Over the years it seems to be experiencing a gradual increase in snarky posts. Some people posting that kind of thing think that putting in an emoji makes it okay. It doesn't. I suspect the member at which it is directed does not feel better because of a happy face. 
I located the square pin pad! Thank you again guys.
CC-M may be simple in the end, but at the start the directions did leave me confused.
