KX-FC971CX-S / KX-FGA521CX-S 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. 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 contains 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).
KX-FC971CX-S / KX-FGA521CX-S 1.2. HOW TO RECOGNISE THAT Pb FREE SOLDER IS USED P.C.Boards marked as “PbF” use Pb Free solder. (See the figure below.) (Example :Digital board) Note : The “PbF” marked may be found on different areas of the same P.C.Board,depending on manufacture date.
KX-FC971CX-S / KX-FGA521CX-S 1.3. 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.
KX-FC971CX-S / KX-FGA521CX-S 1.7. AC CAUTION For safety, before closing the lower cabinet, please make sure of the following precautions. 1. The earth lead is fixed with the screw. 2. Wrap the earth lead around the core 5 times. 3. Wrap the AC lead around the core 5 times.
