¢.¢
“MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock” is the test method 
standard of the U.S. Defense Department, which specifies 
performing drop tests from a height of 122 cm (4 feet), at 
26 orientations (8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of 
devices, and passing the 26 orientation drops within 
5 devices.
(If failure occurs during the test, a new set is used to pass the 
drop orientation test within a total of 5 devices)
•Panasonic’s test method is based on the above “MIL-STD 810F 
Method 516.5-Shock”. However, the drop height was changed 
from 122 cm (4 feet) to 200 cm (6.6 feet) dropping onto 3 cm 
(0.1 feet) thick plyboard. This drop test was passed.
(Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint or 
distortion of the part where drop impact is applied.)
There is no guarantee of not breaking or malfunctioning 
under all conditions.
