Mounting the PCB STEP 7 Solder the jumperwires to the matching battery connector. STEP 8 Before continuing, inspect your complete assembly once more ! Place two AAA-batteries in their support. (Fig 11). If the batteries have been inserted correctly and no assembly mistakes have been made, the LEDs will show a brief animation, hereby indicating that the unit is ready for use.
Operation 11. Operation IR LED To operate a channel : Press the ‘Transmit’- button. 6-LED-readout The LED-readout will flash a # of LEDs in a bar-style according to the selected channel as long as the button is pressed. ‘Select’-button To change the current channel : Press the ‘Select’- button repeatedly till the LED-display indicates the desired channel : ‘Transmit’-button...
