Note:

While building the

projects, be careful not to

accidentally make a direct

connection across the bat-

tery  holder  (a  “short  cir-

cuit”), as this may damage

and/or  quickly  drain  the

batteries.

How to add or replace batteries

Remove the safety cover from the battery holder (B3B) with a Phillips head screwdriver.

Insert three (3) 1.5V “AA” batteries (not included) into the battery holder (B3B). Be sure

to orient the battery “+” side as marked in the holder. Replace battery holder cover.

How To Use It

-3-

Placing a 3-snap wire directly

across  the  batteries  is  a

SHORT CIRCUIT.

NEVER

DO!

!

When the slide switch (S1) is turned

on, this circuit has a SHORT CIR-

CUIT  path  (as  shown  by  the  ar-

rows).   The  short  circuit  prevents

any other portions of the circuit from

ever working.

!

NEVER

DO!

Examples of SHORT CIRCUITS - 

NEVER DO THESE!!!

Do not touch the light motor (M7) during

operation. 

Activate the circuit using the slide switch (S1) or press switch (S2) as in-

dicated in the final step.

Be sure that the light motor (M7), red/yellow LED (D10, and horn (W1)

have their “+” marking positioned as per the drawing. 

For each project, follow the drawings to place all STEP 1 parts on the

mini base grid, then place all STEP 2 parts, then place any additional

parts indicated by STEPS 3 or 4.
