Notes on chip component replacement
·Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
· Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
Unleaded solder
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
· Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than
ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350°C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
· Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than
ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such
as on IC pins, etc.
· Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

When Disposing of the Radio
This radio has a built-in Nickel Metal Hydride battery. When you recycle the
battery, remove it following the procedure below.
Certain countries/regions may regulate disposal of the battery
used to power this product.
Please consult with your local authority.
Note
Never disassemble this radio excepts when disposing of it.
To remove the Nickel Metal Hydride battery
The Nickel Metal Hydride battery is stored in the left unit.
1 Remove both screws on the left cabinet (as
shown in the illustration) using a Phillips
screw driver.
2 Remove the cabinet.
3 Dettach the connector shown by the arrow in
the illustration and then remove the screw on
