1-1 Safety Precautions
1) Before returning an unit to the customer, always
make a safety check of the entire unit, including, but
not limited to, the following items:
(1) Be sure that no built-in protective devices are
defective or have been defeated during servicing.
(1)Protective shields are provided to protect both
the technician and the customer. Correctly replace
all missing protective shields, including any
removed for servicing convenience.
(2)When reinstalling the chassis and/or other assembly in the cabinet, be sure to put back in place
all protective devices, including, but not limited to,
nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fish papers,
adjustment and compartment covers/shields, and
isolation resistor/capacitor networks. Do not operate this unit or permit it to be operated without all
protective devices correctly installed and functioning.
(2) Be sure that there are no cabinet openings through
which adults or children might be able to insert
their fingers and contact a hazardous voltage. Such
openings include, but are not limited to, excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and an improperly fitted and/or incorrectly secured cabinet back
cover.
(3) Leakage Current Hot Check-With the unit com-
pletely reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly
into a 120V AC outlet. (Do not use an isolation
transformer during this test.) Use a leakage current
tester or a metering system that complies with
American National Standards institute (ANSI)
C101.1 Leakage Current for Appliances and
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1270 (40.7). With
the unit AC switch first in the ON position and
then in the OFF position, measure from a known
earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.) to all
exposed metal parts of the unit (antennas, handle
brackets, metal cabinets, screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.), especially any exposed
metal parts that offer an electrical return path to the
chassis.
Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA.
Reverse the unit power cord plug in the outlet and
repeat the test. See Fig. 1-1.
Any measurements not within the limits specified
herein indicate a potential shock hazard that must
be eliminated before returning the unit to the customer.

(4) Insulation Resistance Test Cold Check-(1) Unplug
the power supply cord and connect a jumper wire
between the two prongs of the plug. (2) Measure
the resistance with an ohmmeter between the
jumpered AC plug and all exposed metallic cabinet
parts on the unit, such as screwheads, antenna,
control shafts, handle brackets, etc. When an
exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading should be between 1 and 5.2
megohm. When there is no return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinite. If the reading is
not within the limits specified, there is the possibility of a shock hazard, and the unit must be repaired
and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.
See Fig. 1-2.
