Insert the chassis and mark where the tactile switch is to be located. Once the wired and installed, the plunger can be added

The battery insert from the back of the chassis. It is recommended that the battery wires exit from the top side .

There are channels dedicated to pass the wires through, the soundboard is on its dedicated chassis part.

If an Aux switch is used, same as before, mark where is would be located, then add the switch to the chassis.
The chassis uses a 1.3mm High Amp recharge port, which is to be glued (led facing down) on the chassis back.
