Add Note Edit Step 19  ¶ 

  • We recommend that you clean the exposed surface of the board with a soft cloth or sponge and a small amount of rubbing alcohol.

  • Melt a small solder bead directly onto the metal connector on the board by placing the soldering iron onto the metal connector and then pressing solder against the tip and the board.

  • Once a small amount of solder has melted onto the board, lift the solder away first and then the soldering iron.

Add Note Edit Step 20  ¶ 

  • The solder bead should look like a small dome or hemisphere. If it is flat or jagged, simply place the soldering iron back on the solder to re-melt it and then pull the soldering iron away. It may require a little more solder if this does not work.

Add Note Edit Step 21  ¶ 

  • Attach the red lead first, followed by the white lead, and finish with the black lead.

  • Place the wire from the new battery onto the new solder bead.

  • Press the tip of the soldering iron onto the solder bead until it melts.

  • Slide the wire lead into the liquid solder until it is in the center of the bead, then remove the soldering iron.

  • Continue with the other two connections the same way, taking special care not to solder two of the connectors together.
