Thanks. I got it to work. Do not cut the brown loop.
For anyone who attempted this and it didn't work, I discovered that the instructions at the top of this thread are slightly off, as were the instructions on the manufacturer's web site as of last week. As of now, they've corrected them and they worked (for me).
I thought I was loosing my mind when I read the manufacturer's instructions at their web site this morning and they were different than what I remembered reading last week. Luckily I'd printed them out last week and they are definately different. I'm not insane.
Ok, maybe a little.
