Installing the Parts

It's best to install the low profile parts first. Each of the parts has a picture to help you
identify it. Start with the resistors followed by the capacitors. Resistors are color coded to
indicate their value of resistance. The ceramic capacitor's value is designated by the
number 104 or 220 printed on the body. Look for the part that matches the picture and be
sure to note any parts that have a polarity which means that they can only be installed in
one direction (small "+" sign).
Install the resistors which each have a series of colored bands to indicate their value.
Bend the leads of each resistor so that they form legs which drop into the holes on the
board. You can install all the resistors at once or you can install and solder them one at a
time. Be sure that each resistor is low to the board and not up in the air. Solder each lead
from the back of the board and then clip the lead slightly above the solder joint.
