# Select 1 *18PTR-03: N52 3/16" x 3/16" Neodymium Cylinder Magnet*
50 15 J. Simmons
# Find the *Magnet's* south pole using the magnetic compass (this is the pole which attracts the north/red indicator - see references) 
51 20 J. Simmons
!step2.2-sm.jpg!
52 15 J. Simmons
# Align the *Base* so that the tab is closer to you than the slot
53 20 J. Simmons
!step2.3-sm.jpg!
54 16 J. Simmons
# Apply super glue to the half magnet slot away from you and insert the magnet so that the south pole identified above faces out in the *Tone Ring*; take care that the *Magnet* is flat in its slot and hold it in place for 60 seconds

61 20 J. Simmons
!step3.1-sm.jpg!
62 7 J. Simmons
# Rotate the magnet from the previous step 180 degrees (so that the pole attracted to the previous magnet is facing out to create a pole pair) and place it in the next slot in the base
63 20 J. Simmons

94 14 J. Simmons
# Take 2 *Tone Ring Halves*, insert the tabs from each into the slots of the other, and push until they form a single disc (there may be a click as the exposed magnets seat into the other half)
95 14 J. Simmons
# Check the alignment of the screw hole on each half with the *Heat-set Insert* to verify the *HS-07: 18-8 Stainless Steel Flanged Button Head Screw, M3 x 0.5 mm Thread Size, 5 mm Long* will set properly
96 14 J. Simmons
## If the alignment is good move on to the next step
