Locate two (2) .001-uF disc-ceramic capacitors (102). Note that there are also two
multilayer type .001 uF (or 1000 pF) caps with your kit. Do not use those for C14 and
C32.

[ ] Install a .001-uF disc at C14 and solder.
[ ] Install a .001-uF disc at C32 and solder.

Locate three (3) .01-uF disc-ceramic capacitors (103).
[ ] Install .01 uF at C6 and solder.
[ ] Install .01 uF at C13 and solder.
[ ] Install .01 uF at C25 and solder.

Locate a .05 uF disc ceramic capacitor (503). Looking at the pc board, note that two (2)
installation holes are provided for the ground-side lead of C27. Choose the one that most
closely matches the lead spacing for the .05 uF capacitor provided in your kit.

[ ] Install .05 uF at C27 and solder.

Locate eight (8) .1-uF disc ceramic capacitors (104).
[ ] Install .1 uF at C10 and solder.
[ ] Install .1 uF at C11 and solder.
[ ] Install .1 uF at C12 and solder.
[ ] Install .1 uF at C21 and solder.
[ ] Install .1 uF at C22 and solder.
[ ] Install .1 uF at C24 and solder.
[ ] Install .1 uF at C26 and solder.
[ ] Install .1 uF at C29 and solder.

There are 11 multilayer capacitors provided with your kit. A multilayer cap is similar to a
surface-mount "chip" capacitor, except that it has a lead spot-welded onto each end of the
capacitor body. Multilayers have superior radio-frequency operating characteristics, but
the lead welds may fail if the device is over-heated and stressed during installation or
removal. For this reason, never use force to seat a multilayer cap into the PC board. If
the spacing isn't right, pre-form the leads to the correct spacing before installation.

[ ] Find a 10-pF multilayer capacitor (10 or 100). Install at C1 and solder.

[ ] Find a 15-pF multilayer capacitor (15 or 150). Install at C5 and solder.

[ ] Find a 18-pF multilayer capacitor (18 or 180). Install at C19 and solder.

Locate two (2) 22-pF multilayer capacitors (22 or 220).
[ ] Install 22 pF at C17 and solder.
[ ] Install 22 pF at C18 and solder.
