When you are satisfied with the level of backlighting, you may now proceed to solder the pins of
the LCD into place. BE SURE to double-check the orientation of the LCD display on the PC

soldering two diagonally opposed pins of the display, to hold the LCD in place while the rest of
the pins are soldered.

Temporarily reinstall the Front Panel PC board into the K1, connect power, turn the radio on,

panel assembly, keycaps, and knobs back onto the radio.
This completes the K1 LCD backlight modification.
