	Test 6 - With the DMM in diode mode, measure the voltage across the RED LED. The voltage should read approximately 0.65Volts. This is lower than the expected 1.8Volts for a red LED because the transistor is also in parallel and we are actually measuring the base emitter voltage of Q1. ''(Approximately 0.65Volt on my DMM, acceptable range 0.5V->0.8V)''. A Second test can be carried out using the same DMM settings, between the IRout pin and GND. The voltage should read approcimately 1.45Volts.''(Approximately 1.45Volt on my DMM, acceptable range 1V->2V)''		Test 6 - With the DMM in diode mode, measure the voltage across the RED LED.

	It is always a good idea to clean up after soldering, particularly fo beginners. We suggest using ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL with a firm brush (or an old tooth brush) with ventiltion. Once clean dry up using paper towel or cotton buds. If you use no-clean solder and there is no mess on the PCB, you can ommit this step.
