I have assembled full kit? but need the following answered please :-? ?( advise if connections same as for the next model up specified as per data from interim manual? just located below >>? ??
..................................................................................................................................................
1. There was no instructions for V 6? & I can't figure out correct polarity for the 3 to 5 Amp? DC supply please. ? ? ? ? ? ? ( I have nearly been caught out with popular Guitar Sound effect units that have ? ? ? ? ? ? centre pin negative instead of usual centre pin polarity +? ,? ? ? ? ? ? ? so don't want to destroy my unit on first power-up !!!
2. there? were extra wire plug connectors linked to fly leads , but no explanation as to use. I have connected up ones listed to be affixed , but not these extras as pictured below? I have seen the corresponding? plug in points on main circuit board but don't know what they are for as no explanation came with kit for these.
3. There was also a white plastic tool that looks a bit like a small ball-point pen but without any ink tube ? ? ? ?but there again there were no details as to what it is for .
?& 4? no statement nor diagram specifying which of front plug -in connectors did what on V6? ??? ? ? ? ? ?Is it the same as for next model up the?Sbitx v1.01 ref. as listed below >>
Any help in explaining the supply polarity ,socket layout & use of these extras in kit would be appreciated.?

ie for model Sbitx v1.01 =
IMPORTANT: Before powering on, it is vital to check the polarity of the power pin. The provided DC jack should have the center pin connected to +ve and the outer barrel connected to the Ground.
There are three phono jacks on the front panel: 1. The left jack is for the microphone. The TIP is microphone, RING is PTT and the SLEEVE is GND. This arrangement allows you to use regular microphones. 2. The middle jack is for the earphones/headphones. The standard headphones or earphones that come with mobile phones should work. 3. The right side jack is for the key/keyer. The TIP is Dot, the RING is Dash and the SLEEVE is the Ground. You can also use the microphone¡¯s PTT as a straight key. The setting for the kind of key plugged in is described in the Operating CW Section. Plug in the headphones into the middle jack on the front-panel. The standard Phone/PC handsets and headphones will work well. Choose a headphone that is comfortable for long hours of working. The demands on the headphones in a contest or weak signal work are very different from those of a HiFi music listening for pleasure.
The straight key should be plugged in to the right most jack on the front-panel. The wiring for the straight key is : (Tip : Key switch; Ring: Nothing; Sleeve: Ground) [Drawing] You can switch to using an Iambic keyer. To do this, attach a keyboard and type: \cwinput keyer [Enter] The keyer is wired as follows: (Tip: Dash, Ring: Dot, Sleeve: Ground)
