Wi-Fi unit installation
Carefully remove the gunners cover from the tank turret, this is held in place by tabs at the sides and rear. Use a thin screwdriver to unhitch the tabs (being careful not to damage to the cover). Now lower the Wi-Fi unit into its holder in the turret and replace the cover making sure the Wi-Fi unit is located correctly within the cover, (it is located correctly if the cover is able to click into place).
Next, remove the upper hull from the lower hull by removing the 8 screws and then carefully detach the wiring leading to the upper hull from the lower hull. To access the circuit board to plug in the cable 'Q' (provided with Stage 65), you must now remove the lower turret ring. Once this is done plug the 'Q' cable into its 'Q' marked socket on the circuit board.
Replace the turret ring and then plug the other end of the 'Q' cable into the socket on the base of the Wi-Fi unit. Replace all the cables from the turret into the lower chassis of the tank, then reassemble the lower and upper hulls, be careful not to trap any of the cables.
