IMPORTANTINFORMATION ABOUTLEAD FREE, (PbF), SOLDERING
If leadfree solderwas usedinthe manufacture of this product the printedcircuit boards will be
markedPbF.
Standardleaded, (Pb), soldercanbe usedas usual on boards without the PbF mark.
Whenthis mark does appearplease readand followthe special instructions describedinthis
manual on the use of PbF and howit might be permissible touse Pbsolderduring service and
repairwork.
1. ABOUT LEAD FREE SOLDER (PbF: Pb free)
Note:
Inthe information below, Pb, the symbol forleadinthe periodic table of elements, will referto
standardsolderorsolderthat contains lead.
We will use PbF solderwhendiscussing the leadfree solderusedinourmanufacturing process
whichis made fromTin(Sn), Silver(Ag), and Copper(Cu).
This model, and others like it, manufacturedusing leadfree solderwill have PbF stampedon
the PCB. Forservice and repairwork we suggest using the same type of solderalthough, with
some precautions, standardPbsoldercanalsobe used.
Caution
-PbF solder has amelting point that is50°F ~70°F (30°C~ 40°C)
higher than Pb solder. Please use asoldering iron with
temperature control and adjust itto 700°F ± 20°F (370°C± 10°C). In
case of using high temperature soldering iron, please be careful
not to heat too long.
-PbF solder will tend to splash ifitisheated much higher than its
melting point, approximately1100°F (600°C).
-Ifyou must use Pb solder on aPCB manufactured using PbF
solder, remove as much of the original PbF solder as possibleand
be sure that anyremaining ismelted prior to applying the Pb
solder.
-When applying PbF solder to doublelayered boards, please check
the component side for excess which mayflow onto the opposite
side (See the figure below).

1.1. Suggested PbF Solder
There are several types of PbF solderavailable commercially. While this product is
manufacturedusing Tin, Silver, and Copper
(Sn+Ag+Cu), you canalsouse Tinand Copper(Sn+Cu) orTin, Zinc, and Bismuth(Sn+Zn+Bi).
Please check the manufac
turer’s specific instructions forthe melting points of theirproducts and anyprecautions for
using theirproduct withother
materials.
The following leadfree (PbF) solderwire sizes are recommendedforservice of this product:
0.3mm, 0.6mm and 1.0mm.

2. FOR SERVICE TECHNICIANS
ICs and LSIs are vulnerable tostatic electricity.
Whenrepairing, the following precautions will helpprevent recurring malfunctions.
1. Cover the plasticparts boxes with aluminum foil.
2. Ground the soldering irons.

3. Use aconductive mat on the worktable.
4. Donot touch ICor LSI pins with bare fingers.
3. CAUTION
Dangerof explosion if batteryis incorrectlyreplaced. Replace onlywiththe same orequivalent
type recommendencedbythe manufacturer.
Dispose of usedbatteries according tothe manufacture’s Instructions.

5. BATTERY
5.1. BatteryInstallation
Insert the batteries as shown. The negative end shouldbe insertedfirst.
Close the coveras indicatedbythe arrow.
-When you replace the batteries, the positive end shouldbe
removed first.

5.2. BatteryCharge
At the time of shipment, the batteries are not charged.
Please charge the batteries forabout 7 hours before initial use.
-When the batteryhas been completelycharged, the charge
indicator will change from red to green.
-Itisnormal for the PS and charger to feel warm whilethe batteryis
charging.
-Keep devices sensitive to magneticfields awayfrom the charger.
