STEP 5:
Connect the battery back to the motherboard
and start to slide the battery and
motherboard back into the body of the
device. You will notice in FIG 1, that the black
resistors on the motherboard are facing
down toward the battery. In FIG 2, take
notice at the groves that the motherboard
slides in on both sides of the body.
STEP 6:
With everything lined up and wires re-
connected, slide the battery and
motherboard back into the body of the
device.

D. Closing up the Device
!7
STEP 7:
Once everything is slid back in, try the best
you can to tuck any excess wires back in the
device. Replace the end piece. From this
point on, follow the Steps in Section D
“Close up the device”.
STEP 1:
Now that you have either done a hard reset
or replaced the battery, you now want to
properly seal up and close the device. The
most important part here is to make sure the
watertight seal/gasket is lined up. Insert the
screws, line up with the holes and seal up
the device.
STEP 2:
Once you have the screws in and snugged
up. Your device should appear like the one to
the left. You should see a very small gap if
any at all to ensure a proper watertight seal.
YOU’RE DONE!
