Installing The Kxv3A Board - ELECRAFT K3 Installation Instructions Manual

Tilt the top of the KIO3 Main board toward the front panel gently so the standoff at the top clears the lip on
the rear panel, then use the standoff at the top to lift up on the board while rocking it from side to side to unplug
the connector.
Remove the blank panel covering the space for the KXV3A module (see Figure 5). This panel will not be
replaced.
Turn the K3 upside down and remove the bottom covers (see Figure 6).

Installing the KXV3A Board

SPECIAL NOTE TO KIT BUILDERS:
module as part of the overall kit assembly, begin with the following step.
Remove jumpers W1 and W2. The jumpers may be wires plugged into connector J66, or they may be wire
jumpers soldered to pads on the RF board (see Figure 7). If soldered to the board, take care not to lose any
pieces of wire inside the K3. No more than 1/8" (3mm) of lead length should be left to avoid the possibility of
shorting to a nearby circuit. Take care to identify the correct jumpers. Do not cut nearby jumpers W20 or
W21!
