Abstract: An electronic apparatus and a method of assembling the electronic apparatus having a chassis inserted into a housing having a face parallel to the direction of insertion of the chassis in the housing provided with push buttons with light guides projecting into the housing. An electronic board is mounted in the chassis so as to extend parallel to said face of the housing and is provided with switches in order to interact with the push buttons and light sources surrounded by a light-tight frame receiving the free end of the light guides. The light-tight frame has a height which decreases in a direction of separation from the chassis, and the light guides have a height which decreases in the opposite direction so as only to be in contact with one another once the chassis has been completely inserted into the housing.
