11.1 Assembly of the megaphone is in reverse order of disassembly. Follow these instructions: 11.1.1 Attach Horn (18) and Speaker Assembly (7) to Megaphone Subassembly (10). Ensure alignment with location pins. Pass speaker wires through the provided slot. 11.1.2 Plug speaker connector into the "out" header on PCB. 11.1.3 Push entire assembly gently into the housing (15), until it stops.
