8. Battery Information
Use 2 x 1.5V AA size batteries (not included)
For best performance, always use fresh batteries and remove batteries when not in use
Batteries must be inserted with the correct polarity
Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged
Re-chargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision
Re-chargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged
Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed.
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy
The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited
Only batteries of the same or equivalent types are to be used
Do not dispose of the batteries in fire
Do not mix old and new batteries
Do not mix alkaline, carbon zinc and re-chargeable batteries
9. Wiring sequence and connection
Ensure all wires are correctly connected to the numbered spring terminals of the main circuit board unit
as stated wiring sequence of each experiment.
Bend the spring terminal over and insert the exposed shiny conductor part of wire into spring terminal.
Make sure the wire is securely connected to spring terminal.
For example if the wiring sequence is 4-33, 1-10-32-35, 2-12, then connect a wire between spring
terminal 4 and 33; and then connect a wire between spring terminal 1 and 10, and a wire between spring
terminal 10 and 32, and a wire between spring terminal 32 and 35; and finally connect a wire between
spring terminal 2 and 12. This is an example for reference only, not an exact circuit connection in the
experiment.
If the circuit does not work, you can check the wire and spring terminal connection whether it is not well
connected or insulated plastic part of a wire is inserted to spring terminal.
10. Component characteristic
In this mini experiment kit, you will learn basic circuit theory, characteristic of capacitor, IC (Integrated
Circuit), LED (Light Emitting Diode), light sensor, resistor and transistor. You can learn that when
transistor and capacitor work together, various light and sound effects can be made in different circuit
connections.
Capacitor is a device consists of two conductors that are separated by an insulator. It is designed for
storing electrical charge or as a filter in a circuit. It is a commonly used component in electronic and
electrical circuits as an energy storage device or as a filter device to filter out electronic noisy or useless
frequency signals. There are various types of capacitor which are designed for different electronic /
electrical circuit applications.
Electrolytic Capacitor
IC (Integrated Circuit) is a small electronic device made of semiconductors and is used for a variety of
devices, including microprocessors, electronic equipment and automobiles. IC is made by a large number
of transistors into a "chip" (silicon). It is now a critical and commonly used component in a wide variety
of applications from toys, household products to state-of-the-art equipment.
