Step 2: 

Connect the TIP (negative) terminal of the DC adaptor jack to the 

eyelet on the PCB labeled “-“. Connect the SLEEVE of the DC adaptor jack 
to the eyelet on the PCB labeled “+” farthest to the right. Connect the battery 
disconnect terminal of the DC adaptor jack to the second eyelet on the PCB 

labeled “+” located in the middle of the other two eyelets .  See diagram on 
the next page.
