Replacement of IC201, IC2701, IC3005 and IC3007 on the MAIN
board used in this set requires a special tool

When IC101, IC401 and IC3001 on the MAIN board is damaged,
exchange the new MAIN board for the MAIN board which IC
damaged

When IC1301 on the SUB board is damaged, exchange the new
SUB board for the SUB board (included in MAIN board) which IC
damaged

When the MAIN board is replaced, format it according to the
following.

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)

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 viscou-s (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.
