Assembly Steps

Step 1: Remove the Back Cover

Unscrew the 6 black PM2.5*12 screws and remove the back cover.

Note: The back cover must be removed by lifting it upward from the bottom edge.

Step 2: Assemble Cables

Use accessories ④, ⑤, ⑥, ⑦ to assemble as shown in the diagram:

• micro HDMI cable
• USB Type-C cable

Step 3: Secure the Raspberry Pi

Note:

Ensure the main board is aligned with the copper standoffs for proper pogo pin contact, avoiding misalignment or uneven pressure.

Use the 4 PM2.5*4 round head screws from accessory ⑨ to secure the Raspberry Pi to the PCBA.

Step 4: Connect the Battery (Optional)

If you purchased the version without a battery, skip this step.

Warning

Make sure the Raspberry Pi board is correctly installed before connecting the battery to avoid short circuits due to incorrect connection.

Connect the 5000mAh lithium battery (accessory ⑧) to the PH2.0 connector and secure the battery position with double-sided tape.

🔋Power LED Indicator:

When connecting the battery, the power LED may briefly light up and then turn off

• This is normal behavior during power circuit initialization
• It does not mean the device has powered on
• The device remains off by default

👉 Press the power button once to turn the device on for normal use

Step 5: Install the Silicone Button (Pi5 Only)

If you are installing a Raspberry Pi 5, first attach the silicone button to the side wall of the case.

Then connect the speaker to the 4PIN PH1.25 connector, reinstall the back cover, and tighten the screws.

Tip

When installing the silicone button, ensure smooth interaction with the Raspberry Pi 5's power button to avoid affecting button rebound.

If the button feels too tight or power‑on is not responsive, you may trim (flatten) the inside of the silicone button slightly before reinstalling for a better user experience.

Step 6: Secure the Back Cover

Reinstall the 6 black PM2.5*12 screws you removed earlier into the back cover.

Step 7: Install the Side Bracket

Select the appropriate bracket (accessory ②/③) according to your Raspberry Pi board and secure it with the KM2*5 black screws.

Note:

Based on your Raspberry Pi board, select the corresponding bracket from accessories ②/③ and secure it with the KM2*5 black screws.
