Each LED has a tiny inductor (L) and capacitor (C) across it. Each LC pair is tuned to a different frequency. The LC is a short at DC, but at f1, f2, f3, go high impedance and allow current through the corresponding LED. The switches have a resistor (R) and capacitor (C) in parallel across them. The C large enough to allow f1, f2, f3 through, and 3 different values for R. The battery has 3 oscillators, each of which is enabled depending on the DC current value - set by switches.
