My thanks to those who replied to my question. I now have the Begali Intrepid Key working correctly. The answer to my question is as follows: "Turn the bug onto its back and you will see 3 screws in the connection compartment. 2 are holding the side rails in place and 1 is earth. connect the 2 that are holding the rails together with a jumper and also connect these to the tip of your jack plug. Then connect the 3rd screw to the sheath (ground)of the jack plug. The 2 rails are held above ground by plastic stand-offs."
