Hi, all:

In my first day of building the BeePre. :)

Noticed while mounting the hardware that my 3-position rotary switch actually has 10 "clicks" available to it.  It's stamped with "3E1" on the back; is this the correct part and if so, possible it's defective?

Thanks!

S,
ALR

There is a series of holes around the shaft of the switch that set the number of positions by inserting the tab of the tabbed washer into the corresponding hole. To fix it, turn the switch all the way counterclockwise, remove the switch from the chassis, move the tabbed washer to position 3, then reassemble.
