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.
6

- 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.

6.3.3.2. Thinkable Situation
- Customer may ask to reset base PIN because they forget it.
- Customer may bring only a base unit for repair and there is no handset
registered to the base (Need to register another handset to the base to
confirm if the unit works properly after repair).
- When original handset has broken and customer purchased a new one,
if customer forget base PIN, customer cannot register the new handset
and may ask to reset the PIN.
6.3.3.3. Remedy
<Preparation>
Refer to JIGs and PC ().
<Connection>
1. Solder a pin or lead wire to GND, SDA, and SCLK on base PCB.
2. Plug in AC adaptor to the base.
3. Turn on the power to the JIG (9V).
4. Then connect the cable to each pins using clip.
As for the connection between JIG and PCB, see below photos.
<PC setting and how to reset base PIN to default (0000)>
1. Refer to PC Setting ().
2. Next, execute <initbspin.bat> by typing "initbspin". The PC display will
be shown as below.

3. After that, turn off DC power supply (9V) to the jig, unplug AC adaptor,
and remove pins on PCB.
Then close the cabinet. The base pin returns to the default (0000) and
you can register a handset to the base using the base PIN (0000).

6.6. Recall Feature
RECALL is used to access special telephone services. Contact your Network provider for details. If
your unit is connected to a PBX, pressing RECALL allows you to access some features of your host
PBX such as transferring an extension call.
- Users in Australia can access Telstra’s “EASY CALL” service by having
the recall time set at 100 msec (this is the factory default setting), and
then follow Telstra’s “EASY CALL” instructions to operate this service.
6.7. Dialling Pause for PBX line/long distance service users
A dialling pause is used when a pause in the dialling of the phone number is necessary using a PBX
or accessing a long distance service.
For example, when 0 (line access number) is dialled followed by a pause to access an outside line
through a PBX:
- Entering a pause prevents misdialling when you redial or dial a stored
number.
- Pressing PAUSE once creates one pause. To extend the pause
requirement time, press PAUSE accordingly.

7.2. Before Requesting Help (Troubleshooting)
17

If you experience any problems with the normal use of your apparatus, you should unplug it from the
telephone outlet and connect a known working telephone in its place.
If the known working telephone still has problems, then please contact the customer service
department of your Network provider.
If it operates correctly, then the problem is likely to be a fault in your apparatus.
In this case, contact your supplier for advice. Your Network provider may charge you if they attend a
service call that is not due to apparatus supplied by them.
Turn the power OFF then ON (Handset) / Disconnect then connect the AC adaptor (Base Unit).
