5. Fit the case bottom cover
6. Retighten the case sides if you loosened them and check that the top corner covers
are pushed back into the right position before tightening.
7. Retighten the top cover screws
This completes Stage 2 reassembly
5.3. Stage 3 – Case Sides and Corner Switches
Warning: There are some ribbon cables that can become caught during disassembly
and reassembly. Keep a sharp eye out and poke them back into place with a non-
metallic object or a screwdriver whose tip has been protected with insulating tape. Also
be very careful that no ribbon cables become lodged over screw holes. Putting a screw
through a ribbon cable is the fastest way to trash your transmitter.
Stage 3 Disassembly:
1. Undo and remove the top and bottom Allen key screws on the front of the
transmitter. The LCD panel will now be loose (though it will not fall off) so be careful
and hold it in place when you handle the transmitter (see Figure 63).
Figure 63 Allen key screws to remove
2. Lever the sides a little bit outwards and slide out the corner covers. These will still
be attached by ribbon cables so be careful (see Figure 64 & Figure 65).
