Abstract
According to one embodiment, one of two connectors, and a circuit board on which the other of the connectors is mounted are prepared. The one of the connectors has an engagement portion. The other of the connectors has an elastically deformable engagement detent. The engagement detent can go over the engagement portion and be engaged with the engagement portion. One of the connectors is fitted to the other of the connectors. A portion of the electric equipment is imaged by a camera. A piece of data which changes is measured from an obtained picture image. A deformation of the engagement detent occurs with going-up of the engagement detent onto the engagement portion. Whether or not the connectors are properly fitted is determined. Fitting of the connectors is performed again when it is determined that the connectors are not properly fitted.
