On the Subject of Resisting Resistors
At least you don’t have to worry about current and voltage!
Note: For use by those familiar with the original manual.

- Multiply TR by 10 for each battery, max 106.
- If TR = 0; no resistor.
- If TR = Rx; go through Rx.
- If TR > R1, R2; series.
- If TR < R1, R2; parallel.
- LIT FRK = connect outputs together.
- Otherwise, at least 1 D cell = secondary to secondary, no resistor.
