Service and Inspection Precautions

1. Obey

precautionary

markings

and

instructions

Labels and stamps on the cabinet, chassis, and components identify

areas requiring special precautions. Be sure to observe these

precautions, as well as all precautions listed in the operating manual

and other associated documents.

2. Use designated parts only

The set's components possess important safety characteristics, such

as noncombustibility and the ability to tolerate large voltages. Be

sure that replacement parts possess the same safety characteristics as

the originals.

Also remember that the

! mark, which appears in

circuit diagrams and parts lists, denotes components that have

particularly important safety functions; be extra sure to use only the

designated components.

3. Always follow the original design when

mounting parts and routing wires

The original layout includes various safety features, such as inclusion

of insulating materials (tubes and tape) and the mounting of parts

above the printer board. In addition, internal wiring has been routed

and clamped so as to keep it away from hot or high-voltage parts.

When mounting parts or routing wires, therefore, be sure to duplicate

the original layout.

4. Inspect after completing service

After servicing, inspect to make sure that all screws, components,

and wiring have been returned to their original condition. Also check

the area around the repair location to ensure that repair work has caused

no damage, and confirm safety.

5. When replacing chip components...

Never reuse components. Also remember that the negative side of

tantalum capacitors is easily damaged by heat.

6. When handling flexible print boards...

· The temperature of the soldering-iron tip should be about 270C.

· Do not apply the tip more than three times to the same pattern.

· Handle patterns with care; never apply force.

Caution: Remember that hard disk drives are easily damaged by

vibration. Always handle with care.

Caution Markings for Lithium/Ion Battery - The following or

similar texts shall be provided on battery pack of equipment or

in both the operating and the service instructions.

CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly

replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type

recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries

according to the manufacturer's instructions.

CAUTION: The battery pack used in this device may present a

fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble,

heat above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate.

Dispose of used battery promptly.

Keep away from children.
