1.Replace the battery contact seal (if necessary) surrounding the battery contact (Figure 7-12).

2.Remove the old Interface Pad from the chassis by scraping off the pad and adhesive with a straight razor. Use rubbing alcohol and a cloth to completely remove the adhesive from the chas- sis surface. With the chassis clean and dry, add a new Interface Pad to the chassis.

3.Place the main circuit board straight down on top of the chassis with the frequency and volume switches facing down.

Note: Be sure the battery contact seal protrudes through the chassis and is not pinched under the chassis.

4.Use the T6 Torx screwdriver to fasten the screws holding the main board to the chassis. Tighten to 3.7 - 3.9 in/lb.

5.Replace the O-ring by positioning it in the top groove by the volume/frequency switches. Stretch the O-ring to place it into the retaining groove at the bottom end of the chassis.

6.Check that the O-ring is not twisted and is being held by the top and bottom chassis groves.

7.Replace the audio jack shroud.
