Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree 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)
: LEAD FREE MARK
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.

Notes on chip component replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged by heat.

Setting the Clock
The clock time display of this unit is a 12-hour system.
When the batteries are first installed, AM 12:00 flashes and CLOCK turns on
in the display.
1
Press RADIO POWER to turn off the power.
2
Press MODE/FREEZE repeatedly until CLOCK appears.
3
Hold down ENTER/SELECT for more than 2 seconds until
AM 12 starts flashing.
4
Push the Jog lever towards + or – to adjust the hour, then press
ENTER/SELECT.
The beep sounds and the minute setting starts to flash.
If you hold down the Jog lever towards + or —, the digit changes rapidly.
Midnight is indicated as AM 12:00 and Noon is indicated by PM 12:00.

Repeat step 4 above to adjust the minutes.
: starts flashing and the clock starts operating.
To set the current time exactly to the second, adjust the minute setting and
then press ENTER/S ELE CT to synchronize it with a time signal (such as
the telephone time signal).
Note
If you do not push the Jog lever towards + or —, or ENTE R/S ELECT within
about 65 seconds, the clock setting mode will be canceled.

TEST MODE
ICF-M88B
EEPROM INITIALIZE MODE
Procedure:
1. Turn on the power to place the set in the standby state.
2. Press the [BAND/SET], [LIGHT] and [MODE/FREEZE] keys
simultaneously for 5 seconds, or short the TP116 (KS0) and
TP117 (KR3) on the key board.
3. When the EEPROM initialize mode is activated, the BEEP
1 is outputted and “dEL” is displayed on the LCD for one
second.
4. After one second elapsed, the BEEP 2 is outputted, and the
EEPROM initialize mode is deactivated and the set returns to
the standby state.
LCD AND KEY TEST MODE
Procedure:
1. Turn on the power to place the set in the standby state.
2. Short the TP115 (KS1) and TP117 (KR3) on the key board.
3. When the LCD and key test mode is activated, the BEEP 1 is
outputted and the LCD becomes all lit state.

4. Each time a key is pressed, the segment assigned to each key
turns off (see below). Also, if the [LIGHT] key is pressed, the
LCD back light turns on. (It turns off at the release of LCD
and ket test mode)
5. When all keys were pressed, the BEEP 2 is outputted, and
the LCD and key test mode is deactivated and the set returns
to the standby state.

board detects “L” during each test mode, the test mode is deactivated
and the set returns to the standby state.
