1. 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.
2. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly
installed.
3.After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.

6.After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.
1.2.Touch-Current Check
1.Plugthe AC cord directly into the AC outlet.Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.
2.Connect a measuring network for touch currents between eachexposed metallic part on the set and agood earth groundsuchas a water pipe, as shown in Figure 1.
3.Use Leakage Current Tester(Simpson 228 or equivalent) tomeasure the potential across the measuring network.
4.Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltageat eachpoint.
5.Reserve theAC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measure.
6.The potential at any point (TOUGH CURRENT) expressed as voltageU

2Warning
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 andsemiconductor [chip] components. The following techniques should be usedto help reduce the incidence of component damagecaused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
1.Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on yourbody by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively,obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap,whichshouldbe removed for potentialshock 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 alumi-num foil, toprevent electrostatic charge buildupor exposure of theassembly.
3.Use only agrounded-tip solderingiron to solder or unsolder ES devices.
4.Use only ananti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as [anti-static (ESD protected)] cangenerate electricalcharge sufficient to damageES devices.
5.Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. Thesecan 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. (Mostreplacement ES devicesare packaged with leads electrically shorted together byconductive foam, aluminum foil or compara-ble conductive material).
7.Immediately before removing theprotective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective materialto the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.
Caution
Be sure nopower is applied to the chassis or circuit, andobserve allother safety precautions.
8.Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise ham less motion such as the brush-ing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD) sufficientto damage anES device).

2.2.About lead free solder (PbF)
Note: Lead is listed as (Pb) in the periodic table of elements.
In the information below, Pb will refer to Lead solder, and PbF will refer to Lead Free Solder.
The Lead Free Solder used in our manufacturing process and discussed below is (Sn+Ag+Cu).
That is Tin (Sn), Silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu) although other types are available.
This model uses Pb Free solder in it’s manufacture due to environmental conservation issues. For service and repairwork, we’dsuggest the use ofPb freesolderas well, although Pb solder may beused.
PCBs manufacturedusing lead freesolder will have the PbF within a leaf Symbol PbF stamped onthe back ofPCB.
Caution
•Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder. Typically the melting point is 50 ~ 70°F (30~40°C) higher. Pleaseuse a high temperature soldering iron andset it to 700 ± 20°F (370 ± 10°C).
•Pb free solder will tend to splashwhen heated toohigh(about 1100°F or600 °C).If you must use Pb solder, please completely remove all of the Pb free solder on the pins or solder area before applying Pb sol-der. If this isnot practical, besureto heat the Pb freesolder untilit melts, beforeapplying Pb solder.
•After applying PbF solder to double layered boards, please check the component side for excess solder which may flow onto theopposite side. (see figurebelow)
Suggested Pb free solder
There are several kinds of Pb free solder available for purchase. This product uses Sn+Ag+Cu (tin, silver, copper) solder. How-ever, Sn+Cu (tin, copper), Sn+Zn+Bi (tin, zinc, bismuth) solder can also be used.
