1. Most circuit problems are due to
incorrect assembly, always double-
check that your circuit exactly
matches the drawing for it.
2. Be sure that parts
positive/negative markings
positioned as per the drawing.
3. Sometimes the light bulbs come
loose, tighten them as needed.
4. Be sure that all connections are
securely snapped.
5. Try replacing the batteries.
Elenco TM Electronics is not responsible

c How To Use It
The snap circuit kit uses building blocks with snaps to build
the different electrical and electronic circuits in the projects.
Each block has a function: there are switch blocks, lamp
blocks, battery blocks, different length wire blocks, etc.
These blocks are in different colors and have numbers on
them so that you can easily identify them. The circuit you will
with
build is shown in color and numbers, identifying the blocks
are
that you will use and snap together to form a circuit.
For Example:
This is the switch block which is green and has the marking
on it.
This is a wire block which is blue and comes in different wire
lengths.
This one has the number
2
depending on the length of the wire connection required.
There is also a 1-snap wire that is used as a spacer or for
interconnection between different layers.

WARNING: Always check your wiring before turning on a circuit.
Never touch the motor when it is spinning at high speed. Never
leave a circuit unattended while the batteries are installed.

To build each circuit, you have a power source block
number that need two (2) "AA" batteries (not included
B1
with the snap circuit kit).
A large clear plastic base grid is included with this kit to help
keep the circuit block together. You will see evenly spaced
posts that the different blocks snap into. You do not need this
base to build your circuits, but it does help in keeping your
circuit together neatly. The base has rows labeled A-G and
columns labeled 1-10.
Next to each part in every circuit drawing is a small number in
black. This tells you which level the component is placed at.
Place all parts on level 1 first, then all of the parts on level 2,
then all of the parts on level 3, etc.
The 2.5V and 6V bulbs come packaged separate from their
sockets. Install the 2.5V bulb in the lamp socket
6V bulb in the lamp socket whenever those parts are
L2
used.

Place the fan on the motor whenever that part is used,
unless the project you are building says not to use it.
Some circuits use the jumper wires to make unusual
connections. Just clip them to the metal snaps or as
indicated.
Note: While building the projects, be careful not to
accidentally make a direct connection across the battery
holder (a "short circuit"), as this will damage and/or quickly
