Step 16: Install 1 pcs 32768Hz Crystal Oscillator at Y2. Note: Horizontal placement.

Step 23: Install 1 pcs 0.56in 4Bit Digital Tube at SMG. Pay attention to the installation direction of the decimal point

Step 24: Install 1pcs CR1220 Battery on CR1220 Battery Socket. Note: The positive electrode of the battery faces outward.

Step 25: Tear off the protective film on the black acrylic surface.

Step 26: Place 4pcs M3*20mm Screw on Acrylic TOP Board as shown.

Step 27: Place 4pcs White Isolation Column on Screw as shown.

Step 28: Place PCB circuit board on Screw as shown.

Step 29: Place 4pcs White Isolation Column again on Screw as shown.

Step 30: Place another Acrylic Board on Screw as shown.
