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.
ICD-P27
· 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.

SECTION 1
SERVICE NOTE
1-1. CAUTIONS OF FLASH MEMORY (IC701)
EXCHANGE
[Precaution when the flash memory (IC701) is replaced]
When the flash memory (IC701) is replaced, be sure to perform the
BAD BLOCK check* and writing of the model code. If they are not
completed, the unit will not operate normally.
* BAD BLOCK check is to check the flash ROM memory
area (the BAD BLOCK area) where data cannot be
guaranteed. The resultant information of this check is stored
in the TOC-AREA so that the BAD BLOCK area should
not be used.
[BAD BLOCK Check Procedure]
1. When the power is turned on after the flash memory (IC701) is
replaced, the BAD BLOCK check starts automatically and the
OPR (D701) lights in orange.
2. In about 30 seconds after start of the check, the OPR (D701)
changes the color to green indicating that the check is
completed.
