  • The next components to install are the LEDs. Light emitting diodes are used in all sorts of electronics to provide bright, different colored lights.

  • Note that the two leads are different lengths. Since an LED is a diode, it only allows current to travel in one direction, so it is important to install the correct lead in the correct hole.

  • The four LEDs belong in each of the four terminals marked LD1 through LD4.

  • When installing the LEDs, insert the shorter of the two leads into the hole next to the flat part of the printed circle.
