Safety Instructions

The products identified in Service Manuals were manufactured to meet strict Quality and Safety Standards. It is
imperative that the Safety Standards are observed when carrying out repairs to ensure that the product always
conforms to IEC 65 or VDE Regulations and the harmonised National Safety Regulations, eg. Low Voltage Directive
(73/23/EEC), the Low Voltage Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations, 1989 (UK) and the Electricity at Work
Regulations, 1989 (UK) before it is returned to the owner.

This symbol:
is used to identify components which conform to IEC or VDE Guidelines! When these require replacement, for

continued compliance and protection, use only the original components specified in the Service Manual (List of Spare
Parts). For continued protection against the risk of fire, the type and rating of fuses (nominal value, characteristic
and rupturing rating) used as replacements must be as specified by the Standards!

After any repair, it is imperative that the Leakage Current and/or Insulation Resistance is checked as described in
this Safety Manual. If the result of the check indicates that the product does not conform, the user / owner must be
notified in writing. If the user / owner requests that the product is to be returned in a defective condition, the written
warning must draw notice to the risks.
In all cases:

– The mains plug and the fuse fitted (UK) must be checked and any defect found corrected.
– The mains lead, and any other connecting leads, must be checked for damage and defects rectified.

Check the insulation!

– The functional reliability of all tension relief and bending protection bushes provided in the product must be

checked and defects rectified.

– For continued safety compliance, safety determining parts in the product must not be damaged or evidently

unsuitable. This is especially valid for insulators and insulating parts.

– Use specified parts only. For components and assemblies marked with the Safety Symbol ! the original

specified spare parts only are strictly to be used.
– Use, if applicable, only information published in Grundig Technical Bulletins or in the Grundig Infotip System.
– Thermally loaded solder pads and those passing large currents, known by experience to cause a risk, must be

thoroughly cleaned and re-soldered.
– Ensure that the ventilation openings are not obstructed or contaminated with dust.
– Ensure the proper disposal of exhausted batteries and accumulators (hazardous waste - environmental

protection!)
– For all receivers, ensure that the aerial system conforms to BSI CP 6330:1983 (UK).
– Maintain records of all checks, remedial action and disposals.

General Part

Safety Standard Compliance

After repairing a product which originally conformed to the Safety Class II (double insulated), the Insulation
Resistance and / or Leakage Current with the product switched on must be checked to VDE 0701 or to the National
Safety Regulations quoted above.

The products covered by these Instructions conform to the Safety Class II, as identified by the symbol:

Warning: After repairs are carried out to parts within this product, the Safety Instructions given in VDE 0701

(Repair Instructions) and / or VDE 0860 / IEC 65 / EN 60065 (Product Specification) must be
observed.

!

Components conforming to IEC or VDE Approval Specification! For replacement purposes, use parts with
the same specification only!

MOS Observe the requirements when handling MOS Components!

Electrical Safety after repairs

General Part

According to the Product Liability Laws, the Manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the product presents no
danger to the user when used correctly. This risk is especially important with products which are operated from the
mains voltage supply. To ensure that safety parameters are maintained especially after repairs have been carried
out, it is imperative that the product is tested as specified in a recognised Test Procedure.

1. Products conforming to Safety Class I (earthed, Symbol )

Earth lead Test.
Check that the earth lead performs its function by using a Continuity Tester. For this integrity of the connection
(conduction of current) from the protection lead contact in the plug to all metal parts that can be touched, with the
product switched on and with it switched off, must be proved. A maximum of 0.3Ω is permitted for the resistance of
a connecting lead with a length of up to 5 metres.

2. Products conforming to Safety Class II (insulated, Symbol )

Insulating resistance measurements as specified in VDE 0701/Part 200.
The insulation resistance between all electrical functioning stages and metallic cabinet parts that can be touched
must be proved.

Measurement of the Insulation Resistance to VDE 0701

Connect an Insulation Test Meter (U
all other functional parts (aerial and connecting sockets, buttons, decorative trims, screws, etc.) made from metal
or metal alloy. The product is fault free if:

Note: The Insulation Resistance in some Safety Class II products can be < 2MΩ, depending upon

construction and the value of discharge resistors. In these cases, the Leakage Current is significant
and must be checked.

Measurement of the Leakage Current to VDE 0701

Connect a Leakage Current Meter (U

or metal alloy. The product is fault free if:

*

As, at the time of preparing these Safety Instructions, there is no British Standard Institute Standard that

is equivalent to VDE 0701, use a test voltage of 240V AC.

• For testing to VDE 0701 / IEC 65 / BS 415 etc. we recommend that the measurements are carried out using the

PAC 500, PAT 1000, PAT 2000, Metratester 4/5 or suitable equipment. These can be obtained from:

Note: Models quoted may be superceded with new models with the passage of time.

• The PAC provides an initial indication of a "pass" or "fail" and is also suitable for mobile (field service) use, and

the PAT units are designed for in-house use and for the maintenance of records and other professional uses and

are compatible with most PC systems.

• If the safety of the product is not proven because:

– a repair and full restoration is not physically or economically possible

– or if the user / owner requests that repairs are not to be carried out,

the user / owner must be given a written warning of the risk!

• Observe the conditions given in the "Safety Instructions" section.

LASER Safety

The MOS safety requirements must be met because many components, particularly the laser diode, are very
sensitive to static electricity.
The pick-up unit incorporates many precision components and should therefore be protected against high
temperatures, high humidity, strong magnetic fields, mechanical shocks and dust.

– The CD Player belongs to the category of products with a low-power LASER.
– According to DIN VDE 0837 or IEC 825 it is a Class 1 LASER meaning that the output power limits are determined

by the design. The LASER DIODE must not be operated outside the pick-up since the output power increases

by many times (Class 3B) and will cause injuries to the eye. In this case the use of LASER protective goggles

is strictly recommended.
– Due to the lens system of the LASER pick-up the focal point of the LASER light is about 1.5mm above the focus

lens. The focal point is located low enough to allow the LASER to be looked at with unprotected eyes.
– Avoid looking at the LASER using external optical means such as, for example, a magnifying glass because the

focal point will be projected onto the retina and may cause injuries to the eye.
– The LASER light appears on the focus lens of the pick-up as a dark-red spot when looking at the optical system

at an angle, preferably at low ambient brightness.
– By placing a sheet of transparent paper onto the focus lens the LASER spot is projected onto the back of the sheet

and is well perceivable.

In general, built-in safety locks ensure that the LASER does not operate with an open disc compartment

cover. In consideration of the above instructions, the special safety locks can be made ineffective and

the LASER will be visible as a small red spot.

Safety Standard Classes for the LASER (according to DIN IEC 825 / VDE 0837)

Class 1

Not dangerous for the human eye. Maximum output power eg: at 700nm…69µW.

General Part

CLASS 1

LASER PRODUCT

Class 3 B

Dangerous for the human eye and, in special cases, for
the skin. Maximum radiation power up to 0.5W.

FALLS ERFORDERLICH
IF APPLICABLE
HVIS NØDVENDIG
HVIS DET KREVES

The output of laser light from a CD pick-up unit
corresponds to Class 1. If the laser diode is
operated outside pick-up unit, this corresponds to
operation under Class 3 B.

Handling of MOS Chip Components

Circuits containing MOS devices require special and careful handling to protect them from damage by static charges.
Static charges can build up on all highly insulated plastics, can be transferred to persons wearing clothes and shoes
made from synthetic materials and from them to the MOS devices.
Protection circuits in the inputs and outputs of MOS devices provide only a limited degree of protection and this is
due to their reaction time.
Please observe the following instructions to protect these components from damage by static charges:

1. Retain MOS components in their conductive packages until they are required for use. MOS components must

never be stored or transported in Styroper materials or in plastic magazines.

2. Personnel handling MOS components must first discharge any electrostatic charge on their body or clothing by

touching a grounded object.

3. Handle the MOS device by the body and do not touch the terminals / pins.

4. Use earthed instruments only for testing and processing purposes.

5. Removal of, or making contact with, MOS ICs fitted into sockets must only be carried out with the operating voltage

disconnected.

6. Circuits containing p-channel MOS components must not be connected to positive voltages (with reference to

the substrate connection VSS).

MOS Soldering Instructions

• Use mains-isolated low-voltage soldering irons only.

• Maximum soldering period is 5 sec with a soldering iron temperature of 300°C to 400°C.

CHIP Technology

Soldering and unsoldering of CHIP components

– Use only low-voltage soldering irons with temperature control.
– Permissible soldering temperatures are approx. 240°C up to max. 300°C.
– Keep the soldering period as short as possible.
– Keep the CHIP components in their original packages until they are used to avoid oxidation of the end contacts.
– Do not touch CHIP components with bare hands.

Unsoldering of CHIP components

1. step: Clean the CHIP soldering point with a solder wick (Fig. 1).

2. step: Warm up the ends of the CHIP or the whole CHIP component and remove the CHIP from the adhesive by

turning it without application of force so that the tracks beneath the CHIP do not break (Fig. 2).

Attention! Never use unsoldered CHIPS again!

Soldering of CHIP components

3. step: Remove any remaining residues from the soldering point. Then apply a bead of solder (Fig. 3).

4. step: Place the CHIP onto the soldering point, then center and fix it (Fig. 4).

5. step: Solder the free end of the CHIP and resolder the first soldering point after it has cooled (Fig. 5).

The conductive layer may be broken.
