- Make sure that the PCBs are seated fully and completely against the PCB anchor.

## Step 7: Insert the PCBs into the electronics assembly jig

Make sure that the electronics assembly is seated fully in the assembly jig. **This step is crucial; misalignment during this stage will virtually guarantee that the buttons will not function.**

## Step 8: Solder the pads of the base PCB and vertical PCB

 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
- Set the soldering iron's temperature to *much* higher than normal, as the pads are large and shed heat quickly, and cold solder joints here will result in poor electrical connections
 | 
			
		||||
- Apply the right amount of solder to ensure a good connection and good mechanical strength, but not too much that it makes it easy to form cold joints

## Step 9: Remove the completed electronics assembly from the assembly jig

This may require a bit of force. The electronics assembly is fairly strong, but don't impart unnecessary force onto the assembly.
