Final Assembly
Before re-assembling your K2 or K2/100, you need to add the self-adhesive foam retainers. These will
help protect the DSPx module in the event your transceiver is subjected to high levels of shock (Oops! You
dropped it!) or vibration (e.g., mobile installation in your off-road vehicle or helicopter).
K2
The black self-adhesive foam will be used to prevent the DSPx from disengaging from the KDSP2.
Place the K2 top cover on a soft cloth or other clean surface to protect the painted finish on the cover.
Orient the cover so that the speaker is towards you and the rear panel is away from you.
Clean the inside surface of the top cover to the right of the speaker and towards the front. Ensure it is
dry. Note that use of rubbing alcohol may leave a powdery residue that will hinder the adhesive.
The foam tape will be placed parallel to the front of the top cover. The distance from the front edge of the
tape to the front edge of the cover should be 1.5” (3.8cm). The tape will extend from the speaker towards
the right edge of the top cover. It should touch, or nearly touch, the edge of the speaker frame.
Remove the backing from the foam.
