- For a zero degree (0◦) view, place the smartphone on Part E so that the screen faces you and the camera points into the rectangular cutout.
- The phone will rest against the top lip of Part B
- Adjust the smartphone position and/or the training object in the box until the proper view is acquired
- A zero degree view is used for assessment of the learners' performance

Thirty Degree Scope View[edit | edit source]
- Having the capability to simulate an angled scope is a novel component of the laparoscopic box trainer. Learners can practice using this view in any module.
- For a 30-degree (30◦) view, stretch the free rubber band hanging from the top of Part E around the smartphone in the vertical direction
- Lower the smartphone into the rectangular cutout in Part E
- Use the rubber bands attached to Part B to secure the smartphone
- Adjust the smartphone position and/or the training object in the box until the proper view is acquired
