4. The highlighted bracket on the front side of the bottom

case part should be broken off, as it will interfere with
the optional modules.

5. Solder two pieces of wire, about 15cm (6") long, to the

Cinch connector and its ground leads.

6. Put the connector's wires through the appropriate hole

in the back plate.

7. Attach the ground lead and solder the wires to the PCB.
8. Fasten the case with the included screws.

This completes the case mounting.
