Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1

Start by gluing each speaker (b) to the frame.
You will only need a little glue along the edge
of each speaker. We provide super glue, but
you can use a hot glue gun inside as well.
Insert the On/Off switch into the cutout that
fits. If you need glue, apply a small amount
on edge, but be careful not to freeze the
switch permanently in one position.

Be sure to snug micro USB port as close to
edge as possible –if set too deep it will
be difficult to plug in micro USB cable for
charging.
Start Soldering
Solder two red wires to each switch pin.
You can cover the pins with heat shrink to
protect the circuits from each other.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1

Twist together 3 black wires. Solder these
wires to the black battery wires.
Solder 1 red wire coming from the switch
to a red LiPo battery wire. Cover these
wires with heat shrink.
Bluetooth Speaker Kit Instructions V.1

Glue box side with switch to box side
with charging module. The Micro USB
port should line up with the small cut out.
Solder red wire from switch that is on the
same side as the red battery wire to the
Charging module labeled BAT+.
BAT +
Solder 1 black wire from battery to the
Charging module labeled BAT-. Note:
slide heat shrink on battery wire before
soldering so you can shrink over joint.
