Locate the area on the battery retainer marked “Affix Shield Here”. Peel the protective back covering off of

the large metal shield and align the shield carefully with the lines and edges of the retainer as shown in Figure
23 with the hole over the screw opening. Work over the entire surface, squeezing the shield against the retainer.
You may notice a slight dimple appear where it covers the screw installed in the previous step. That is normal.

CAUTION!

If the shield is not firmly attached to the battery retainer it may cause a short circuit to the
internal batteries.

Figure 23. Positioning the Shield on the Battery Retainer.

Mount the battery retainer on the two standoffs on the CP board as shown in Figure 24. Note that the nylon

standoff you installed on the retainer earlier (Figure 22) simply rests against the CP board.
