solder.
• Heat the part with the soldering iron.
• If you replace the battery, only use the specied rechargeable type.
• To remove the battery twist the lower casing slightly and pull to separate the two
parts.
• The battery is located inside the lower part. Note the polarity.
• When replacing the casing, note the contact strips on each part must align when
the two parts are locked together.
• If the iron fails to heat up or the LEDs do not illuminate, check this alignment.
• Apply rosin-based solder to the part and melt it with the
soldering iron.
Note: When using non-rosin-based solder, ensure you apply
a soldering paste to the part before applying the solder.
• Wait for the solder to cool and harden
before moving the soldered part.
• When the soldering work is done, switch off the power,
clean the tip and tin with fresh solder to protect it from
oxidation.
• Never le down the tips or attempt to clean using
abrasives.
