The SERVICING NOTES contains important information for
servicing. Be sure to read this section before repairing the
unit.
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic break-down because of the potential difference generated by
the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The fl exible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when
checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight.
If the optical pick-up block is defective, please replace the whole
optical pick-up block.
Never turn the semi-fi xed resistor located at the side of optical
pick-up block.

UNLEADED SOLDER
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 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.
• Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

REPLACING THE LITHIUM BATTERY OF THE REMOTE
COMMANDER (850BT, 900BT: US, Canadian, E, Indian,
Australian models and 900BTM only)
Under normal conditions, the battery will last
approximately 1 year. (The service life may be
shorter, depending on the conditions of use.)
When the battery becomes weak, the range of the
remote commander becomes shorter.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replaced only with the same or
equivalent type.
Notes on the lithium battery
ˎ Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children.
Should the battery be swallowed, immediately
consult a doctor.
ˎ Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to ensure a good
contact.
ˎ Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing
the battery.
ˎ Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers,
otherwise a short-circuit may occur.
WARNING
Battery may explode if mistreated.
Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in
fire.

• The NFC Tag Data Writing Application varies depending on
your model.
Be sure to use the NFC Tag Data Writing Application that
supports your model.
Use of NFC Tag Data Writing Applications that do not sup-
port your model is strictly prohibited.
1. Installing the NFC Tag Data Writing Application for
the Servicing
Install the NFC Tag Data Writing Application on the smart-
phone for writing of Bluetooth information.
If the NFC Tag Data Writing Application is already installed,
confi rm the following.
• Be absolutely sure that the NFC Tag Data Writing Application supports your model.
• Confi rm that the NFC Tag Data Writing Application is
the latest version.
(Refer to “Checking the Version of the NFC Tag Data
Writing Application” on page 10)
Procedure:

touch (NFC)
By touching the control dial on the unit with an
NFC* compatible smartphone, the unit is paired and
connected with the smartphone automatically.
* NFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology
enabling short-range wireless communication
between various devices, such as mobile phones and
IC tags. Thanks to the NFC function, data
communication can be achieved easily just by
touching the relevant symbol or designated location
on NFC compatible devices.
For a smartphone with Android OS 4.0 or lower
installed, downloading the app “NFC Easy Connect”
available at Google Play™ is required. The app may
not be downloadable in some countries/regions.

Connection/Installation
Cautions
Run all ground (earth) leads to a common
ground (earth) point.
Do not get the leads trapped under a screw, or
caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).
Before making connections, turn the car ignition
o to avoid short circuits.
Connect the yellow and re d power supply leads
only after all other leads have been connected.
Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads
with electrical tape for safety.
Precautions
Choose the installation location carefully so that
the unit will not interfere with normal driving
operations.
Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust,
dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature,
such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.
Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a
safe and secure installation.
Note on the power supply lead (yellow)
When connecting this unit in comb ination with other
stereo components, the amperage rating of the car
circuit to which the unit is connected must be highe r
than the sum of each component’s fuse amperage
rating.
