Servicing Notes

Chip Component Replacement: Do not reuse disconnected chip components. Be cautious of heat damage to tantalum capacitors.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing: Maintain soldering iron temperature around 270°C. Avoid touching the same conductor repeatedly. Do not apply excessive force on conductors.
Unleaded Solder: Boards may be marked with an 'LF' symbol. Unleaded solder melts at a higher temperature (approx. 40°C higher) and has stronger viscosity. Use caution to prevent solder bridges.
System Requirements (for PC software): IBM PC/AT compatible, Windows OS (XP SP2+, Vista SP1+), Pentium 4 1.0 GHz+, 512 MB RAM, 380 MB HDD space, CD-ROM drive, Sound board, USB port. Requires .NET Framework, QuickTime, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Adobe Flash Player. Broadband internet recommended for EMD/web access.
