• First begin by pulling the Arduino-Pro board outside of the Arduino-Square frame and rest it on top of the frame.  (You should be able to do this easily by angling the Arduino-Pro board inside the frame, pulling one side out of the frame and then the other.)

• Line up the Color-LCD Shield pins with Arduino-Pro connectors.  There are 2 sets of 6 pin connectors on one side and 2 sets of 8 pin connectors on the other. 

• Plug the FTDI serial adapter into the right angled 6 pin connector located on the Arduino-Pro board adjacent to the power connector.

• Plug the USB cable into your computer.
