ASSEMBLE COMPONENTS TO THE PC BOARD

Figure B

Diodes have polarity.

Mount them

with the band in the correct direction,
as shown on the top legend.

Figure C

Electrolytics have a polarity
marking indicating the (–) lead.
The PC board is marked to
show the lead position.

Wire 1” - Cut a 1” wire and strip
both ends. Solder one end to
the PC board marked (–).

Wire 1” - Cut a 1” wire and strip
both ends. Solder one end to
the PC board marked (+).
