Pass the black wire from the battery holder through one of the holes in the acrylic above the reed switch. Fasten this wire to one of side terminals.

Twist together the red wire from the battery terminal with the black wire from the servo motor. Solder this connection together. You may want to insulate this connection with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing (if you use heat shrink, don't forget to slip it onto the wire before you twist the wires together).

Pass the red wire from the servo motor through the other hole in the acrylic and connect it to the other far terminal of the reed switch.

Clean up the wires with zip ties.
