Unwrap the front panel piece. Slide it over the LEDs on the

Front Panel board, then secure it to the 2-D fasteners on the bottom
of the RF board using two 4-40 x 3/16 [4.7 mm] screws (black).

Unwrap the side panels, and lay them on soft cloth with the

painted side down. The sides that are oversprayed (lightly painted)
should be facing up.

Sand or scrape away the overspray in the area of all four

mounting holes on both side panels. Be careful not to nick or sand too
close to the edge of the panel.

Place 2-D fasteners on the inside surface of the side panels at the

two locations shown in Figure 15. The panels are symmetrical, so
either edge can be considered the top.

Secure each 2-D fastener to the side panel using one 4-40 x 3/16"

[4.7 mm] screw (black). The fasteners must be oriented as shown
in the detail drawing, Figure 16.

Figure 15

Attach the side panels to 2-D fasteners already installed on the

Secure the side panels to top surfaces of the front and rear panels.

Use one 4-40 x 3/16" [4.7 mm] screw (black) per fastener.

Figure 16

Unwrap the bottom cover piece, which can be distinguished from

the top cover by the presence of mounting holes for a tilt stand and
rubber feet. It is painted on both sides.

If you have purchased a tilt-stand kit for use with the KAT100,

install the stand and front/rear feet now, following the instructions
supplied. Otherwise, install the four self-adhesive, low-profile rubber
feet supplied with the KAT100-1. Position them near the corners of
the bottom cover.

Install the bottom cover. Secure it to the RF board in four places

using 4-40 x 3/16" [4.7 mm] screws (black).
