FUSES 

 

Solder the

two

fuses

right on the rectangular spot signed “PTC”. These parts look quite similar to

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

capacitors so don’t let it confuse you. 

 

 

 

RESONATOR

 

 

Insert also the

resonator

(the orange component with 3 leads). This part is not polarized so you can

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

   

 

 

insert it in any direction.
