[Alpha Clock Five Assembly Guide]

Assembly Step 46 – Tighten screws all around

1. Tighten the screws

here, on the front-top.

2. Tighten the screws

here, on the rear-top

3. Tighten the screws

here, on the rear-bottom

4. Tighten the screws here,

on the front-bottom

Once you

nish tightening the screws, double-check the

buttons, to make sure that each is working correctly.

Also, you may notice that the circuit board and LED

displays do not sit completely vertical in the case, but

lean back at a slight angle. This is normal and expected.
