Select three of the resistor leads you saved and solder them in the pads for D1 and D2 as shown below.
Lead 3 goes into the solder pad for the banded end of D1. The solder pad at the banded end of D2 is not
used. Trim any excess flush on the opposite (top) side of the board.

ESD-Sensitive! Wear a wrist strap grounded through a 1-meghom resistor or touch an
unpainted metal ground before handling the SMT1B part in the following steps.
Thread leads 2 and 3 through the respective pads on the SMT1B board and position it close to the
K60XV board as shown. Be sure the leads go through the like-numbered solder pads. When installed
correctly, the lettering on the SMT1B board will be upside down compared to the lettering on the K60XV
board as shown. Solder leads 2 and 3 and trim them flush.
Bend lead 1 over to pad 1 on the SMT1B board and solder. It is not necessary to insert this lead
into the pad. If you want to bend the end so it goes into the pad, be sure it is short enough that it won’t pass
completely through the SMT1B where it might short to a pad underneath.

In the following steps, do not trim the pins of P1 or P2 on the top side of the board.
Install 3-pin male connector P2 on the bottom of the PC board in the position indicated by its
component outline. Do not solder yet. The drawing below shows how P2 should appear viewed from the
front edge of the board (with the top side facing up).
