Step 4LED and Battery Installation

LED and Battery Installation
Here is where that Helping Hands come in handy. Under the lid solder the positive contact of the battery holder to the outside post of the switch. Battery holder should face outward for easy reinstallation of batteries.

(BE SURE YOU HAVE A BLINKING LED)

Next measure the LED next to the other post from the switch and the negative post on the holder. You will need to clip part of the NEGATIVE lead on the LED and solder it to the negative post on the battery holder. Solder the other longer lead to the other post of the switch.

Install Batteries.
