NOW THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY THOURGHLY CONFUSED, LET ME EXPLAIN A FEW MINOR DE-TAILS. THE POTENTIOMETER AREA IS RIGGED
SO THAT THE LEFT POLE IS CONNECTED TO THE CENTER POLE OF THE POTENTIOMETER NEXT TO IT. THE MIDDLE TERMINAL OF T1 IS CONNECTED TO THE PEICE OF WIRE THAT RUNS DOWN TO THE END OF THE BATTERY.
CORRECT OPERATION OF THE PEARL BOX:
===================================
YOU MAY WANT TO GET SOME DRY-TRANSFER DECALS AT RADIO SHACK TO MAKE THIS JOB ALOT EASIER. ALSO, SOME KNOBS FOR THE TOPS OF THE POTENTIOMETERS MAY BE USEFULTOO. USE THE DECALS TO CALIBRATE THE KNOBS.
R1 IS THE KNOB FOR THE ONES PLACE, R2 IS FOR THE TENS PLACE, R3 IF FOR THE HUNDREDS PLACE AND R4 IS FOR THE THOUSANDS PLACE. S1 IS FOR PRODUCING THE ALL THE TONES AND S2 IS FOR POWER.
STEP 1: TURN ON THE POWER AND ADJUST THE KNOBS FOR THE DESIRED TONE.
(EXAMPLE: FOR 2600 HZ- R1=0:R2=0:R3=6:R4=2)
STEP 2: HIT THE PUSHBUTTON SWITCH AND VWALA! YOU HAVE THE TONE. IF YOU
DON'T HAVE A TONE RECHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AND SCHEMATIC. IF YOU STILL
DON'T HAVE A TONE CALL BRAINSTORM BBS:612-345-2815, THE
BAY:415-775-2384 OR PIRATE'S HARBOR:617-720-3600 AND LEAVE ME E-MAIL
