Locate the area on the KXBC3 module marked “Affix Shield Here”. Peel the protective covering off of the
adhesive on the back of the metal shield and align the shield carefully with the lines and edges of the module as
shown in Figure 2 with the hole centered over the screw opening. Press the shield against the KXBC3 module,
working over the entire surface, but take care not to damage any of the components on the other side. You may
notice a slight dimple appear where it covers the screw installed in the previous step. That is normal.
CAUTION!
 If the shield is not firmly attached to the KXBC3 module it may cause a short circuit
to the internal batteries.
 Do not damage the electronic components on the opposite side of the KXBC3 module
while affixing the shield.

Place the KXBC3 module back in its ESD-safe bag until needed later.
Disconnect all cables attached to the KX3 and remove the KXPD3 paddles if installed.
Open the KX3 just as you would to install or remove batteries (see Internal Batteries in your
Owner’s Manual for details about how to do this).
Remove the internal batteries (if present).
