Disconnect the speaker.
There are two extra screws, nuts, and lock washers in the top cover between the speaker and the rear
panel. Remove these now. They will be used to secure the battery bracket.
Remove the bottom cover.
Install and solder the 2-pin male header at P3, as shown by its outline on the right-hand edge of the RF
board. P3 must be oriented so that its plastic polarizing tab is towards the front panel.
If you have a field-test version of the K2 (revision XC), you’ll need to install the self-resetting fuse
and shunt diode. A separate instruction sheet has been provided for this modification.
