Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use which are important for safety. These parts are marked by an isolation transformer for this check.
1.4. How to Discharge the E.Capacitor on Main P.C.B. CAUTION: • Be sure to discharge the E.Capacitor on Main P.C.B. before disassembling. • Be careful of the high voltage circuit on Main P.C.B. when servicing. [Discharging Procedure] 1. Put the insulation tube on the lead part of resistor (ERG5SJ102:1kΩ /5W). (An equivalent type of resistor may be used.) 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 Elec- trostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
2.3. How to Replace the Lithium Battery 2.3.1. Replacement Procedure 1. Remove the Top P.C.B.. (Refer to Disassembly Procedures.) 2. Unsolder the each soldering point of electric lead terminal for Lithium battery (Ref. No. “B8001” at component side of Top P.C.B.) and remove the Lithium battery together with electric lead terminal.
