This exploded view illustrates the internal construction of a Tibbo Project System

A Tibbo Project Box comprises the bottom cover, left and right side walls, the top
cover, and the LED light guide. Unless this is the TB2L system with LCD and keys,
the top cover has two recesses for paper inserts and protective cover overlays.
Paper inserts are for marking wires and connectors in the same way you mark direct
dial buttons on your office phone.
The Box assembly is extremely easy and fast. Snap the LED light guide into the top

from you. You will notice that the
bottom cover has a small protrusion on which the RJ45 rests if the TPP is correctly
installed.
