# Case Assembly Part 2

Before using this guide, users must have a basic understanding of electronic safety procedures, including the correct handling of lithium batteries. Improper handling can result in device damage, personal injury, or fire hazards.

## Battery Installation

To avoid hazards, use tape to keep the battery from sliding during transport.

If you haven’t picked up a battery yet, take a look at the Battery Specs doc here: <https://docs.beekeeb.com/toucan-keyboard/battery-specs>

{% hint style="info" %}
Only use tapes that are specifically designed for battery securing purposes.
{% endhint %}

Decide the orientation of the battery based on the battery cable length and connector position.

Cut the battery tape according to the battery size.

Remove the protective films.

Use 3 long screws (M2 x 8mm) to fasten the display mount. Do not over tighten the screws.

## Right side with Trackpad

Place the battery securely, ensuring there is enough clearance for the trackpad FPC connector and keeping it away from sharp edges or protruding components to avoid punctures.

If you solder it by yourself with a trackpad breakout board, it's recommended to place and secure the little board on the left side.

Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position.

Connect the battery to the battery socket.
