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."
