Installing the 0-ring
Making sure to carefully align the corners of the 0-ring with those of the back cover's
black 0-ring retainer, fit one of the short sides of the 0-ring over the black retainer and
into the groove on one end of the back cover. Then carefully lay the 0-ring in the space
between the clear outer cover and the black retainer. With your thumbs on the exposed
corners of the 0-ring, roll the 0-ring over the black retainer and into the groove.
