Close the top and bottom covers and secure them with thumb screws as shown in Figure 56.

CAUTION: As you close the covers ensure that the flex cable folds into the space next to

the CP board connector as shown. Do not allow it to fold toward the battery holders. If the
flex cable resists pushing into the space next to the CP board connector, use your finger to
gently crease it along the edge of the connector as shown in Figure 53.

Figure 56. Closing the KX3.

Be sure the thumb screws are loose when adjusting the tilt legs to position your KX3. The

thumb screws thread into the legs, and forcing a leg into position without loosening the thumb
screw may tighten the thumb screw so much it becomes very difficult to loosen.
