DEVICES Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistorsand semiconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electro static discharge (ESD).
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise hamless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD) sufficient todamage an ES device). 3.
NOTE: The lithium battery is a critical component. ( Type No.: CR2354-1GUF Manufactured by Panasonic. ) It must never be subjected to excessive heat or discharge. It must therefore only be fitted in equipment designed specifically for its use. Replacement batteries must be of the same type and manufacture.
Typically the melting point is 50 - 70°F (30 - 40°C) higher. Please use a high temperature soldering iron. In case of the soldering iron with temperature control,please set it to 700 ± 20°F (370 ± 10°C). - Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100°F/600°C).
