3. Check the condition of the power cord. Replace ifwear or damage
isevident.
4. After servicing, be sure to restore the lead dress, insulation
barriers, insulation papers, shields, etc.
5. Before returning the serviced equipment to the customer, be sure

1.2. INSULATIONRESISTANCETEST
1. Unplug the power cord and short the twoprongs of the plug with
ajumper wire.
2. Turn on the power switch.
3. Measure the resistance value with an ohmmeter between the
jumpered AC plug and each exposed metal cabinet part
(screw heads, control shafts, bottom frame, etc.).
Note: Some exposed parts maybe isolated from the chassisby
design. These will read infinity.
4. Ifthe measurement isoutside the specified limits, there isa
possibilityof ashock hazard.

Whenrepairing, the following precautions will helpprevent recurring malfunctions.
1. Cover the plasticpart's boxes with aluminum foil.
2. Ground the soldering irons.
3. Use aconductive mat on the worktable.
4. Donot touch the ICor LSI pins with bare fingers.
1.4. BATTERYCAUTION
