1.
Place the CLIO unit on a flat level work surface in standard orientation.
2.
Gently press the speaker (34) into place on the CLIO Keyboard Base (45) inner surface
and secure in place using the metal strap (35). Secure the strap using two K1.5x3.5
screws (39) and a miniature Phillips head screwdriver torqued to 0.11N.M. Plug the
speaker wires into the Main PWB Unit (50).
3.
Ensure that the screw holes on the Keyboard Base Bottom (45) and Main PWB Unit (50)
line up with the screw holes on the Keyboard Base Top (47).
4.
Rotate the Keyboard Base Bottom (45) towards you and lay it in position on top of the
Keyboard Base Top (47).
5.
Insert the two rubber bumpers (32) in their slots on the left and right edges of the CLIO.
6.
Insert the Indicator Lens (29) into its slot in the middle of the CLIO’s front edge (the side
facing away from you). Insert the IR Lens (28) into its slot on the CLIO’s side.
7.
Gently work your way around the CLIO inserting and fastening the various tabs and slots
to mate the two halves of the CLIO Keyboard Base (45). Use caution to avoid displacing
the various CLIO internal components and damaging the flex circuit and wires. Make
sure that the flex circuits emerge through the opening in the CLIO Main Housing (45, 47)
and that they are not pinched between the two halves. It may help to use a miniature flat
head screwdriver to gently flex the Keyboard Base halves (45, 47), allowing the slots and
tabs to fit together more easily.
8.
Using either tweezers or miniature needle-nose pliers, gently spread open the slot on the
bushings (4, 33) and thread the bushings (4,33) over the flex circuit and wire (8), taking
care not to damage them. Slide the bushings (4,33) into place over the openings in the
CLIO Keyboard Base halves (45, 47).
9.
Lay the right side lower hinge arm (26) in place, taking care to avoid pinching the flex
circuit and wires (8). Fasten the arm (26) in place using one M3x6 screw (17) and spring
washer (18) at the LCD Unit end and one M3x10 screw (24), spring washer (18) and
washer (23) at the keyboard end of the arm. Refer to photos 5 and 6 in Chapter 2. Use
a #2 Phillips head screwdriver to torque these screws to 1.0N.M each. Replace the
rubber plugs (19, 21) above the screws.
10.
Repeat the above step for the left side. Note that there are no flex circuits on the left
side. Refer to photos 4 and 6 in Chpater 2.
