1 Safety Precautions 1.3. Leakage Current Hot Check (See Figure 1.) 1.1. General Guidelines 1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE an isolation transformer for this check. There are special components used in this equipment 2.
1.4. How to Discharge the E.Capacitor on the Flash Unit CAUTION: 1. Make sure to discharge the E.capacitor on the Flash Unit. 2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit on the Flash Unit when servicing. [Discharging Procedure] 1. Refer to the disassemble procedure and remove the necessary parts/unit. 2.
2 Warning 2.1. Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
