Case Assembly
NOTE: A video clip showing the case assembly is available at

1. Re-Insert the metal bar protecting the circuit board into the case grooves.
Make sure that antenna cable passes the bar on the same side as the battery
lead
2. Insert the O-ring into the groove of the top (battery) half of the case
– see
illustration below. The easiest way is to hold one corner in and then run a
finger around the groove a few times.
The O-ring is pre-greased when shipped to ensure a good seal and easy
assembly. If you need more lubrication use
tap grease “Fix-a-tap”, available at
your local hardware store.
3. Align the two halves while making sure the cables are not caught in-between.
Using a hand at each end, pinch the flange at both ends with thumb and
forefinger and squeeze gently until the halves slide together.
When correctly assembled, the two halves will remain together when finger
pressure is removed.
If the O-ring is pushing them apart then something
is wrong
– you must repeat the assembly procedure.
4. Insert the four screws and nuts but do not over-tighten. Force is not required
to maintain the seal.
