INSTALLATION: Remove the original circuit board by very carefully removing the
plastic clip and sliding the circuit board out. You must remove the copper contact
strips. Wrap them with tape to prevent them from touching the motor leads as Fig1
shows. Trim off some plastic near to the tape to compensate for the tape thickness.
Bend the four spring pickup contact 45 degrees to provide correct contact force.
Now, slide in the decoder and reistall the plastic clip. Apply tape over the clip and
down the chassis sides to help hold the decoder in place. If you drill a 10mm hole
with 2mm depth on rear chassis underr speaker, the sound vulme will increase by
30%.
