The iPAQ Male PCB (H) has 2 different
sized connectors. Before assembly, try
the connector into your device to
determine which one is to be used.
Once that is determined, look on
housing (A) to see the Small & Large
lettering to indicate the side that the
PCB will be on. Then assemble it as
shown in STEP 4 photo. Note: prebend the wire harness to aid in holding
the PCB’s in place and note the
direction path of the wires.

Using a pointer, or similar device, insert
it through the serial port hole in plastic
cover (B) to aid in holding the PCB’s in
place while aligning and attaching the
cover with the 2 screws (C). Gently
snug the screws until the cover (B)
touches housing (A).
