d. Now clip each lead with your flush cutters at the solder joint (7).

e. Before installing any more components on the circuit board, double check the resistance
values of each of the installed resistors. Set your digital multimeter to the "ohms" or
"resistance" setting, and measure across all of the resistors. Compare the measured value to
the listed value in Table 1 and in Figure 3. Make sure they are all correct (within 1%) before
moving on!
2. Capacitors: There are three film capacitors of two different values in this circuit. Both values of
capacitors look very similar so please make sure you look closely at their markings and compare
them to the photos in the BOM. Like the resistors, these capacitors are not polarized. They can
be installed either direction; it doesn't matter which lead goes in which hole.
a. The 2.2nF capacitors (C1,C2) are labeled "2A222J." Place both C1and C2 in their holes
and bend the leads on the back (8).

b. The 680pF capacitor (C3) is labeled ".2A681J." Place the C3 in its holes and bend the
leads out. When you have all three caps placed, turn the board over, solder and then clip
the leads (9,10,11,12).
