JR® Compatible Module Replacement Case Instructions

1. Remove the four screws in the back of the
old case using the included 5/64-inch hex wrench. 2. Remove the back case half.

3. Remove circuit board from the bottom case.

5. Connect the antenna of the new case top to the circuit board. Align the antenna with the connector on the circuit
board. Apply a light pressure to the top of the antenna connector and it will pop into place.
WARNING: Do not force the connector or it could be damaged.

6. Swivel the antenna connector back and forth. If connected correctly, the antenna will swivel freely. If it doesn’t, the
antenna is not connected correctly. If the antenna is not connected correctly, remove the antenna and inspect the
connectors for damage. If you think they are damaged, please contact product support (contact information is listed
at the end of the manual).

4. Remove the antenna wire by lifting up on it
close to where it connects to the circuit board.

crimped between the cases. Do not over-tighten the screws or the case could be damaged.
