• 2x speaker

Remove the white sticker from the speaker and place the speaker in the left circle with the cables pointing right.

Be careful to not stress the wires too much.

Connect the Left speaker cable to the connector with the label "L".

Connect the Right speaker cable to the connector with the label "R".

Assembly of the main board

Now it’s time to assemble the main board

Front side of the badge. the top end has 5 touch buttons.

Rear side of the main board

Insert the standoffs in the holes on the 4 corners of the main board. the holes on the top side are in the keypad area.

Place the rubber keypad on the main board and press the rubber over the threads of the standoffs.

Place the flat side of the nut down towards the rubber keypad and screw them onto the standoffs.

Secure all four nuts but don’t tighten them too much, otherwise you will damage the silicone.

Connecting the main board to the speaker board

Attach the sound board to the main board and connect them electrically.

Mount the 3D printed corner connectors on the PCB.

This requires some nudging. In our experience it is best to jiggle it in place a bit. Be careful not to use too much force.

Connect the sound board by pressing it from the top down.

Press the left side and then the right side down till it snaps into place.

Rear view.

Connect the flat cable to the audio board.

Make sure the flat cable is straight to prevent it from shorting out pins inside the connector.

A short circuit will most likely damage the amplifier circuit and there will be no audio!

Connect the flat cable on the main board. Warning! the flat cable is fragile!
