Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 °C higher
• 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
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 fl ow)
than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges
occur such as on IC pins, etc.

* Protection circuit
This amplifier is provided with a protection circuit that
operates in the following cases:
— when the unit is overheated
— when a DC current is generated
— when the speaker terminals are short-circuited.
The color of the POWER/PROTECTOR indicator will change
from green to red, and the unit will shut down.
If this happens, turn off the connected equipment, take out
the cassette tape or disc, and determine the cause of the
malfunction. If the amplifier has overheated, wait until the
unit cools down before use.
