(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 150 cm (5 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.
