1. ABOUT LEAD FREE SOLDER (PbF: Pb free)
Note:
In the information below, Pb, the symbol for lead in the periodic table of elements, will refer to
standard solder or solder that contains lead.
We will use PbF solder when discussing the lead free solder used in our manufacturing process
which is made from Tin (Sn), Silver (Ag), and Copper (Cu).
This model, and others like it, manufactured using lead free solder will have PbF stamped on the PCB.
For service and repair work we suggest using the same type of solder although, with some
precautions, standard Pb solder can also be used.
Caution
- PbF solder has a melting point that is 50°F ~70°F (30°C ~ 40°C) higher
than Pb solder. Please use a soldering iron with temperature control
and adjust it to 700°F ± 20°F (370°C ± 10°C). In case of using high
2

temperature soldering iron, please be careful not to heat too long.
- PbF solder will tend to splash if it is heated much higher than its
melting point, approximately 1100°F (600°C).
- If you must use Pb solder on a PCB manufactured using PbF solder,
remove as much of the original PbF solder as possible and be sure
that any remaining is melted prior to applying the Pb solder.
- When applying PbF solder to double layered boards, please check the
component side for excess which may flow onto the opposite side
(See the figure below).
1.1. Suggested PbF Solder
There are several types of PbF solder available commercially. While this product is manufactured
using Tin, Silver, and Copper
(Sn+Ag+Cu), you can also use Tin and Copper (Sn+Cu) or Tin, Zinc, and Bismuth (Sn+Zn+Bi). Please
check the manufac
turer’s specific instructions for the melting points of their products and any precautions for using
their product with other
materials.
The following lead free (PbF) solder wire sizes are recommended for service of this product: 0.3mm,
0.6mm and 1.0mm.

2. FOR SERVICE TECHNICIANS
ICs and LSIs are vulnerable to static electricity.
When repairing, the following precautions will help prevent recurring malfunctions.
1. Cover the plastic parts boxes with aluminum foil.
2. Ground the soldering irons.
3. Use a conductive mat on the worktable.
4. Do not touch IC or LSI pins with bare fingers.
3. CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommendenced by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacture’s Instructions.
4. BATTERY
4.1. Battery Installation
Please ensure the batteries are inserted as shown. part should be inserted first.
Close the cover as indicated by the arrow.
- When you replace the batteries, part should be removed first.

4.2. Battery Charge
At the time of shipment, the batteries are not charged. To charge, place the handset on the base unit.
Please charge the batteries for about 7 hours before initial use. During charging, the battery icon is as
shown below.
The handset which power is off will be turned on automatically when it is placed on the base unit.
In normal use, the handset and the base unit should be powered on at all times.
Note for Service:
The battery strength may not be indicated correctly if the battery is disconnected and connected
again, even after it is fully charged.
In that case, by recharging the battery as mentioned above, you will get a correct indication of the
battery strength.
4.3. Battery Life
- Battery life is dependent on use and conditions but in general when
using fully charged Ni-MH batteries (700 mAh):
Talk time: 10hrs approx.
Standby time: 120hrs approx.
5

- When using Ni-Cd batteries (250 mAh):
Talk time: 4hrs approx.
Standby time: 40hrs approx.
(Times indicated are for peak performance)
- The batteries reach peak performance after several full charge/
discharge cycles.
- The batteries cannot be overcharged unless they are repeatedly
removed and replaced.
- If battery life is shortened then please check that battery and charge
terminals are clean.
- For maximum battery life, it is recommended that the handset is not
recharged until battery icon flashes .
4.4. Replacing the Batteries
If the icon flashes after a few telephone calls even when the handset batteries have been
fully charged, 2 batteries must be replaced.
Charge new batteries for approximately 7 hours before initial use.
When replacing the batteries, ensure that the correct battery type is selected.
- To exit the operation, press any time.
- When Ni-Cd batteries are fitted with the
setting in ,
icon will disappear and stop charging even if the handset is
on the cradle.

- Do not use non-rechargeable batteries. If non-rechargeable batteries
are fitted and start charging, it may cause the leakage of the battery
electrolyte.
Please use only Panasonic HHR-4EPT(Ni-MH) or P-4NPT(Ni-Cd) batteries.
Note for Service:
When Ni-Cd batteries are fitted with the setting in
, icon might disappear and stop charging even if the handset is
on the cradle for avoiding overcharge.

The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm during
use).
- Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
- The telephone will not work during a power failure. We therefore
recommend you use a standard telephone and T Adaptor to connect
this Digital Cordless Phone to the line. Your Panasonic Sales Shop can
offer you more information about connection possibilities.
6.1.2. Charger Unit
The AC adaptor must remain connected at all times (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm during
use).
