1 Safety Precautions
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 out.
•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. Battery Caution
1. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
2. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's Instructions.
2.2. 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.
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 tem-
perature control and adjust it to 700 F ± 20 F (370 C ± 10 C).
• Exercise care while using higher temperature soldering irons.:
Do not heat the PCB for too long time in order to prevent solder splash or damage to the PCB.
• PbF solder will tend to splash if it is heated much higher than its melting point, approximately 1100 F (600 C).
• 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).

2.2.1. 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 materi-
als. The following lead free (PbF) solder wire sizes are recommended for service of this product: 0.3 mm, 0.6 mm and 1.0 mm.
2.3. 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.

4.2. Circuit Operation
4.2.1. Bell Detector Circuit
When the bell signal is input from LINE to T/R (when the telephone rings), the signal is output at the speaker via the following
path :
T/R R1/C1 D1/LED1 (small PCB) D3/D4 IC1 (pin8) IC1 (pin5) PC1 C5 SW2 (R7/R8/R9)T1 Speaker
4.2.2. Dummy Ringer Circuit
When {AOH}button is pressed during incoming call (Caller ID AOH mode), dummy ring function will be activated.
The bell signal from LINE stops and Caller ID is received.
Set will keep on ringing by the dummy ring function until the handset is picked up / speakerphone is on.
The dummy ring signal is generated from IC801 via the following path :
(Speakerphone will be activated during dummy ring)
IC801 (pin 89)R901 Q2 SW2 ( R11/R12/R13 ) C8 R615 C616 IC601 (pin 19) IC601 (pin 15)C618 
Speaker
4.2.3. Telephone Line Interface
4.2.3.1. Circuit operation
•On hook
Q101 is OFF, on-hook condition where DC loop is disconnected and voice signal flow is cut.
•Off hook
During Off-Hook, pin 1_3 of SW101 and Q101 is ON, providing an off-hook condition (active DC current flow through the circuit)
and the following is the signal flow :
T POS101 L101 D101(+) Q101 R180 Q107 R119 D103 D101(-) L102 R

Q402 C408 R413 L409 Q403 C410 VR401 SP (handset)
•Transmission signal flows:
MIC (handset) C422 VR402 R423 C425 L421 R430 Q422 R429 C429 L107 Q107 Q101 
R180 LINE
•Pulse Dial
A pulse signal switches repeatedly between high and low logic is output from IC801 (pin 73), on and off the line loop, generating
the pulse dial signal.

4.2.4. Speakerphone Circuit
4.2.4.1. Function
The circuit controls the automatic switching of the transmitted and received signals, to and from the telephone line, when the
unit is used in the hands -free mode.
4.2.4.2. Circuit Operation
The speakerphone can only provide a one-way communication path.
In other words, it can either transmit an outgoing signal or receive an incoming signal at a given time, but cannot do both simul-
taneously. Therefore, a switching circuit is necessary to control the flow of the outgoing and incoming signals.
This switching circuit is contained in IC601 and consists of a Voice Detector, TX Attenuator, RX Attenuator, Comparator and
Attenuator Control. The circuit analyzes whether the TX(transmit) or the RX(receive) signal is louder, and then it processed the
signals such that the louder signal is given precedence.
The Voice Detector provides a DC input to the Attenuator Control corresponding to the TX signal.
The Comparator receives a TX and a RX signal, and supplies a DC input to the Attenuator Control corresponding to the RX sig-
nal.
The Attenuator Control provides a control signal to the TX and the RX attenuator to switch the appropriate signals on and off.
The Attenuator Control also detects the level of the volume control to automatically adjust for changing ambient conditions.
1. Transmission signal path:
The input signal from the microphone is sent through the circuit via the following path: MIC Pin 9 of IC601 Pin 10 of
IC601 Pin 3 of IC601 Pin 4 of IC601 R601 C602 L107 Q107 Tel line.
2. Reception signal path:
Signals receive from the telephone line are outputted at the speaker via the following path: Tel line Q107 Q401 C404
R600 C603 Pin 27 of IC601 Pin 26 of IC601 Pin 19 of IC601 Pin 15 of IC601 Speaker.
3. Transmission/Reception switching
The comparison result between TX and RX outputs as a DC level of Pin 25 of IC601. TX level is high ...... Pin 25 = Pin 21 -
6mV RX level is high ...... Pin 25 = Pin 21 - 150mVComparator output is connected to the attenuator control inside of IC601.
4. Voice detector
The output of the mic amp (Pin 10 of IC601) is supplied to Pin 13 of IC601 as a control signal for the voice detector.
5. Attenuator control
The attenuator control detects the setting of the volume control through Pin 24 of IC601 to automatically adjust for changing
ambient conditions.
