All ground symbols share the anode return; pin 1 is deliberately left floating.

Connect it, step by step

Follow the component values and pin connections

Feed

Use 2.49 kΩ from 5 V to cathode2.

Return

Ground anode3; leave DNC1 floating in this example.

Budget

A 10 kΩ load leaves approximately 754 µA reference current at nominal values.
