DO NOT USE LEAD BASED SOLDER TO REPAIR THIS PRODUCT
The melting temperature of lead-free solder is higher than that of leaded solder by 86°F to
104 °F (30°C to 40°C). Use of a soldering iron designed for lead-based solders to repair
product made with lead-free solder may result in damage to the component and or PCB
being soldered. Great care should be made to ensure high-quality soldering when servicing
this product—especially when soldering large components, through-hole pins, and on
PCBs—as the level of heat required to melt lead-free solder is high.
