12. To ensure that the cable sits correctly route it through the slot on the top

shield.

13. Prepare the PCB and push all 3 spacers into the xStation board. If you look

at it from above they can be found in:

- the lower middle (right next to the ESP32)

- the upper right corner

- the upper left corner.

(The spacers are a bit too long for installation in a PU-8. We recommend that

you shorten them a bit, so that the xStation pcb rests securely.)
