in case your printed circuit board is not white you might have a different version of the lunchbox. This manual can be found at: www.unitunlikely.com/manualblackedition.pdf

This board is called a printed circuit board (PCB for short).
The side pictured below will be refered to as the top side. The legs of the components will be sticking out from the down side.

It does not matter in which direction you solder the resistors. Components that have this feature are called non-polarized.
The resistors have color codes to indicate their resistance. Super convenient!
Find the 5 resistors with the color code Brown-Black-Red-Gold and solder them on locations R1, R2, r3, r4, r5.

These resistors are color coded with Brown-Black-Orange-Gold stripes.s

The diode is a component that functions like a “one­way-street”. It lets current go one way, but not the other and will protect the more sensitive components of the Lunchbox if you connect the battery on the wrong way.
The diode is a polarized component. This means that the direction it is soldered matters. Make sure to check you solder it as indicated on the PCB. The grey band indicates the negative side of the diode.
The grey band of the component should be on the left.

Solder the Sockets on the places indicated by IC1 and IC2. Mind the visual indication on the PCB and try to match it with the sockets.
In case you didn’t, don’t worry it is more a convention in electronics than a crucial thing to safegaurd the Lunchbox from working.
Furthermore, make sure that each leg is properly soldered and that no legs are connected to another.
