1 Safety Precautions
1.1 General Guidelines
1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
There are special components used in this equipment which are important for safety. These parts are marked
by in the Schematic Diagrams, Circuit Board Layout, Exploded Views and Replacement Parts List. It is
essential that these critical parts should be replaced with manufacturer’s specified parts to prevent X-
RADIATION, shock, fire, or other hazards. Do not modify the original design without permission of
manufacturer.
2. An Isolation Transformer should always be used during the servicing of AC Adaptor whose chassis is not
isolated from the AC power line. Use a transformer of adequate power rating as this protects the technician from
accidents resulting in personal injury from electrical shocks. It will also protect AC Adaptor from being damaged
by accidental shorting that may occur during servicing.
3. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been
overheated or damaged by the short circuit.
4. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are
properly installed.
5. After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to
shock hazards.
1.2 Leakage Current Cold Check
1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two prongs on the plug.
2. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic
cabinet part on the equipment such as screwheads, connectors, control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic
part has a return path to the chassis, the reading should be between 1 MΩ and 5.2 MΩ. When the exposed
metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinity.
1.3 Leakage Current Hot Check (See Figure. 1)
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.
2. Connect a 1.5 kΩ, 10 W resistor, in parallel with a 0.15 µF capacitor, between each exposed metallic part on the
set and a good earth ground, as shown in Figure. 1.
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1 kΩ/V or more sensitivity, to measure the potential across the resistor.
4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltage at each point.
5. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measurements.
6. The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75 V RMS. A leakage current tester (Simpson Model 229 or
equivalent) may be used to make the hot checks, leakage current must not exceed 1/2 mA. In case a
measurement is outside of the limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment
should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

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. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect
transistors and semiconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of
component damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any
ESD on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available
discharging ESD wrist strap, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to
the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface
such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.
4. Use only an antistatic solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as “antistatic (ESD
protected)” can generate electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to
install it. (Most replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive
foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material).
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the
protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.
CAUTION :
Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such
as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static
electricity (ESD) sufficient to damage an ES device).

3.2 General Description About Lead Free Solder
(PbF)
The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used
for this equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation.
The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). On the other hand, the lead free solder is the alloy mainly consists of
tin (Sn), silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu), and the melting point of the lead free solder is higher approx.30°C (86°F) more than
that of the normal solder.
Distinction of P.C.B. Lead Free Solder being used
Service caution for repair work using Lead Free Solder (PbF)
The lead free solder has to be used when repairing the equipment for which the lead free solder is used.
(Definition: The letter of “PbF” is printed on the P.C.B. using the lead free solder.)
To put lead free solder, it should be well molten and mixed with the original lead free solder.
Remove the remaining lead free solder on the P.C.B. cleanly for soldering of the new IC.
Since the melting point of the lead free solder is higher than that of the normal lead solder, it takes the longer
time to melt the lead free solder.
Use the soldering iron (more than 70W) equipped with the temperature control after setting the temperature at
350±30°C (662±86°F).
Recommended Lead Free Solder (Service Parts Route.)
The following 3 types of lead free solder are available through the service parts route.
