Step 2:
4. Constructing the Kit
Step 1:
Insert the 5 pin right angle male header (item 14) on the PoGa PCB
(item 1) and trim off the legs from the bottom, flush with the board
(sharp side cutters are recommended). Repeat the process for the 2
pin right angle male header (item 15). The pin headers must be
trimmed prior to soldering as this will ensure the soldered leads will
be flush with the board. Reason for this is so the leads do not hinder
the battery holder sitting flat on the board. Solder one pin first, and
ensure header is at right angle and parallel before soldering the rest of
the pins.
Now solder both the pin headers. It is recommended that you solder
only 1 pin first and check that the connector is aligned and sitting
flush on the board. Make sure to remove any large solder blobs. The
soldered pins should be flush with the board as much as possible (see
photo below on the left).
Step 3:
Now insert the display module (item 16) and solder the 9 pins from
the bottom. Then trim off the pins with your side cutters.

Step 4:
Step 6:
Insert all the push buttons (item 4) as well as the slide switch (item
7), then solder them. Take care not to bend the pins during the
insertion process. No need to trim the pins (but can do if you wish).
Peel off the white adhesive protective layer on the speaker and firmly
press the speaker to the board, as shown in the photos below. Make
sure the speaker is positioned on top of the speaker-hole on the
printed circuit board.
Step 5:
Solder the small round
speaker (item 8) as per
the photo on the right.
Note the polarity of the
wires, RED wire goes to
the '+' and BLACK wire
goes to the '-' holes on
the board.

Step 7:
Position the battery holder (item 9) in the middle of the board and
trim off the excess wires as shown in the photo on the left. Strip off
the ends, using side cutters or a wire stripper, as per the photo on the
right and solder the wires from the component side of the board.

Step 7 .. continued:
Step 9:
The battery holder has strips
of double sided adhesive
tape at the bottom, do not
peel the protective layer and
stick the battery holder to
the board yet.
Place the 2mm long spacers (item 13) through the screws as shown in
the left photo below. Now place the PoGa circuit board through the
screws so that it rests on the 2mm spacers, refer to the photo on the
right below.
Now is the time to press fit
the button caps on the push
buttons (items 5 and 6).
Step 8:
Insert the 8mm long screws (item 10) into the appropriate holes of the
bottom cover plate (item 3) and use a piece of sticky tape to hold
them in place as shown in the photos below.
Note: the battery holder should be hanging loose from the
opening of the bottom cover plate.
Step 10:
Use the 6mm long threaded spacers (item 12) and screw them to hold
the boards together, as seen below. You may now remove the sticky
tape that was used in Step 8.

Step 11:
Final Step:
Peel off the adhesive protective layers on the back of the battery
holder (item 9) as shown in the left photo below and stick the battery
holder on the back of the circuit board. Make sure the battery holder
is sitting firmly inside the cut-out of the bottom plate, right photo
below.
Your completed PoGa should look like this:
Step 12:
Position the top cover plate (item 2) as shown in the photo below and
use the 4mm screws (item 11) to screw them in place. Note: don't
forget to peel off the display protective film.
Next Step:
It is highly recommended that you now read the Quick Start Guide
