Wi Precautions
Mi The following precautions must be taken concerning ail piastic parts.
1.
When
cleanig,
use
Flansoive
or
alcohol.
Do
not
use
thinner,
ketone,
ether,
etc.
2.
Secure
ail
parts
with
the
specified
screws,
taking
care
not
to
exent
excessive
stress
to
them.
MHandling of the flexible board
The flexible board uses MOS !Cs and is very sensitive to static electricity. Therefore, the follow-
ing points must be kept in mind when repairing.
®
When
handling
the
flexible
board
itself
or
wiring
it
to
the
body, use
a
conduction
mat
to
prevent
Static
electricity,
and
perform
all
work
as
shown
in
the
illustration
beiow.
Touch the conductive mat with
your hand beforehand
Conguctive mat
MiWhen grounding is impossible, connect the cable to a large metal plate (steel desk or shelf).
