1 Safety Precautions
1. Before servicing, unplug the AC power cord to prevent an electric shock.
2. When replacing parts, use only the manufacturer's recommended components.
3. Check the condition of the power cord. Replace if wear or damage is evident.
4. After servicing, be sure to restore the lead dress, insulation barriers, insulation papers, shields, etc.
5. Before returning the serviced equipment to the customer, be sure to perform the following insulation resistance test to prevent
the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.
1.1. For Service Technicians
•Repair service shall be provided in accordance with repair technology information such as service manual so as to pre-
vent fires, injury or electric shock, which can be caused by improper repair work.
1. When repair services are provided, neither the products nor their parts or members shall be remodeled.
2. If a lead wire assembly is supplied as a repair part, the lead wire assembly shall be replaced.
3. FASTON terminals shall be plugged straight in and unplugged straight.
•ICs and LSIs are vulnerable to static electricity.
When repairing, the following precautions will help prevent recurring malfunctions.
1. Cover plastic parts boxes with aluminum foil.
2. Ground the soldering irons.
3. Use a conductive mat on worktable.
4. Do not grasp IC or LSI pins with bare fingers.

2Warning
2.1. 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 con-
tains 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°~ 70°F, (30°~ 40°C) higher than Pb solder. Please use a soldering iron with temperature
control and adjust it to 700°± 20°F, ( 3 7 0 °± 10°C). In case of using high 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 figure, below).
2.1.1. 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.

KX-FT981LA-B / KX-FT987LA-B
2.2. Insulation Resistance Test
1. Unplug the power cord and short the two prongs of the plug with a jumper wire.
2. Turn on the power switch.
3. Measure the resistance value with an ohmmeter between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metal cabinet part
(screw heads, control shafts, bottom frame, etc.).
Note: Some exposed parts may be isolated from the chassis by design. These will read infinity.
4. If the measurement is outside the specified limits, there is a possibility of a shock hazard.
2.3. Battery Caution
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s Instructions.
The lithium battery is a critical component (type No. CR2032). Please observe for the proper polarity and the exact location
when replacing it and soldering the replacement lithium battery in.
2.4. Discarding of P. C. Board
When discarding P. C. Board, delete all personal information such as telephone directory and caller list or scrap P. C. Board.

This 512KB ROM (FLASH MEMORY) carries a common area of 32KB and bank areas which each have 8KB (BK4~BK63). The
addresses from 0000H to 7FFFH are for the common area and from 8000H to 9FFFH are for the bank areas.
6.3.3. Dynamic RAM (IC4)
The DRAM serves as CPU and receives memory.
The address is F200H~F3FFH (DRAM access window 1) and F600H~F7FFH (DRAM access window 2).
6.3.4. Reset Circuit (Watch dog timer)
The output signal (reset) from pin 4 of the voltage detect IC (IC3) is input to the ASIC (IC1) 114 pin.
1. During a momentary power interruption, a positive reset pulse of 50~70 msec is generated and the system is reset com-
pletely.
2. The watch dog timer, built-in the ASIC (IC1), is initialized by the CPU about every 1.5 ms.
When a watch dog error occurs, pin 115 of the ASIC (IC1) becomes low level.
The terminal of the 'WDERR' signal is connected to the reset line, so the 'WDERR' signal works as the reset signal.

6.3.5. RTC Back up Circuit
1. Function
This unit has a lithium battery (BAT1) which works for the Real Time Clock (RTC, Integrated into ASIC:IC1).
The RTC continues functioning, even when the power switch is OFF, backed up by a lithium battery.
2. Circuit Operation
When the power is turned ON, power is supplied to RTC (IC1).
At this time, the voltage at pin 14 of RTC (IC1) is +3.3V. When the power is turned OFF, the battery supplies the power to RTC
through JS1, R30, D14. At that time, the voltage at pin 14 of IC1 are about +2.5V. When the power is OFF and the +5V and
+3.3V voltages decrease, the LOW is input to pin 114 of IC1. Pin 111 of IC1 outputs the reset signals. Pin 11 of IC1 become
low, then RTC (IC1) go into the back up mode, when the power consumption is lower.

6.3.6. Supervision Circuit for the Thermal Head Temperature
1. Function
The thermistor changes the resistor according to the temperature and uses the thermistor's characteristics. The output of pin
139 of IC1 becomes a low level. Then when it becomes a high level, it triggers point A. In point C, according to the voltage
output time, the thermal head's temperature is detected.
After the thermal head temperature is converted to voltage in B, it is then changed to digital data in the A/D converter inside
IC1. The CPU decides the strobe width of the thermal head according to this value. Therefore, this circuit can keep the ther-
mal head at an even temperature in order to stabilize the printing density and prevent the head from being overheated.

6.4.1. Image Data Flow During Facsimile Operation
Copy (Fine, Super-Fine, Photo)
1. Line information is read by CIS (to be used as the reference white level) via route (1), and is input to IC1. Refer to Block Dia-
gram (P.21)
2. In IC1, the data is adjusted to a suitable level for A/D conversion in the Analog Signal Processing Section, and via route (2) it
is input to A/D conversion (8 bit). After finishing A/D conversion, the data is input to the Image Processing Section via route
(3). Then via route (4) and route (5), it is stored in RAM as shading data.
3. The draft’s information that is read by CIS is input to IC1 via route (1). After it is adjusted to a suitable level for A/D conversion
via route (2), the draft’s information is converted to A/D (8 bit), and it is input to the Image Processing Section. The other side,
the shading data which flows from RAM via route (6) and route (7), is input to the Image Processing Section. After finishing
the draft’s information image processing, white is regarded as "0" and black is regarded as "1". Then via routes (4) and (5),
they are stored in RAM.
4. The white/black data stored as above via routes (6) and (8) is input to the P/S converter. The white/black data converted to
serial data in the P/S converter is input to the Thermal Head via route (9) and is printed out on recording paper.

Transmission
1. Same processing as Copy items 1 - 3.
2. The data stored in the RAM of IC1 is output from IC1 via routes (6) and (10), and is stored in the system bus.
Via route (11), it is stored in the communication buffer inside DRAM (IC4).
3. While retrieving data stored in the communication buffer synchronous with the modem, the CPU (inside IC1) inputs the data to
the modem along route (12), where it is converted to serial analogue data and forwarded over the telephone lines via the
NCU Section.
Reception
1. The serial analog image data is received over the telephone lines and input to the modem via the NCU section, where it is
demodulated to parallel digital data. Then the CPU (IC1) stores the data in the communication buffer DRAM (IC4) along route
(11).
2. The data stored in DRAM (IC4) is decoded by the CPU (IC1) via route (12), and is stored in RAM via routes (13) and (5).
3. Same processing as Copy item 4.
