Buttons, meet your maker!
Part one - Removing the protective foil
The first step is to peel off the protective foil from all of the acrylic casings.
Remember to remove the foil from the other side as well.
Once you remove the foil from both sides, the casing should be completely transparent.
Part two - Speaker
For the next step, take the speaker, PCB and the smallest acrylic casing:
Take the connector on your speaker, and connect it here:
This is how the casing should be put on the board:
But first, make sure you remove the speaker's sticky protection:
Stick the sticky side of the speaker to the casing, like this:
Attach everything on the board so that the holes in the casing and the PCB line up:
Put this aside for a moment.
Part three - Battery holder
Now, take the battery holder, two metal screws and two standoffs.
Put the metal screws into the battery holder like this:
The next step is to take the standoffs and fasten the screws with them.
This is what your battery holder should look like right now:
Take the PCB and the speaker you put aside and connect it with the battery holder like this:
Make sure to turn the battery holder this way (so that the wire is turned up) so you can
easily attach it to the battery connector.
Connect the battery holder to the PCB:
