WARNINGS
1. For continued safety, do not attempt to modify the circuit board.
2. Disconnect the AC power before servicing.
3. When the chassis is operating, semiconductor heatsinks are potential shock hazards.
1-1-1 Servicing the High Voltage VR
WARNING: A high voltage VR replaced in the wrong
direction may cause excessive X-ray emissions.
Caution:
When replacing the high voltage adjustment VR, it must be fixed by a soldering iron after it is properly set.
1. When servicing the high voltage system, remove the static charge by connecting a 10 kohm resistor in series with an insulated wire (such as a test probe) between the chassis and the anode lead.
2. If the HV VR requires adjustment, (a) Replace the VR and adjust the high voltage to the specification. (b) Use a soldering iron to melt the adjustment cap on the HV VR to prevent any movement.
3. When troubleshooting a monitor with excessively HV, avoid being unnecessarily close to the monitor. Do not operate the monitor for longer than is necessary to locate the cause of excessive voltage.
4. High voltage should always be kept at the rated value, no higher. Only when high voltage is excessive are X-rays capable of penetrating the shell of the CRT, including the lead in glass material. Operation at high voltages may also cause failure of the CRT or high voltage circuitry.
5. When the HV regulator is operating properly, there is no possibility of an X-ray problem. Make sure the HV does not exceed its specified value and that it is regulating correctly.
6. The CRT is especially designed to prohibit X-ray emissions. To ensure continued X-ray protection, replace the CRT only with one that is the same or equivalent type as the original.
7. Handle the CRT only when wearing shatterproof goggles and after completely discharging the high voltage anode.
8. Do not lift the CRT by the neck.
1-1-2 Fire and Shock Hazard :
Before returning the monitor to the user, perform the following safety checks:
1. Inspect each lead dress to make certain that the leads are not pinched or that hardware is not lodged between the chassis and other metal parts in the monitor.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as nonmetallic control knobs, insulating materials, cabinet backs, adjustment and compartment covers or shields, isolation resistor-capacitor networks, mechanical insulators, etc.
3. Leakage Current Hot Check (Figure 1-1):
WARNING: 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 Publication UL1410, 59.7).
4. With the unit completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet. With the unitÕs AC switch first in the ON position and then OFF, measure the current between a known earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.) and all exposed metal parts, including: metal cabinets, screwheads and control shafts. The current measured should not exceed 0.5 milliamp. Reverse the power-plug prongs in the AC outlet and repeat the test.

1-1-4 Product Safety Notices
Some electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics which are often not evident from visual inspection. The protection they give may not be obtained by replacing them with components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that have special safety characteristics are identified by
on schematics and parts lists. A substitute replacement that does not have the same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement part might create shock, fire and / or other hazards. Product safety is under review continuously and new instructions are issued whenever appropriate.
Components identified by on schematics and parts lists must be sealed by a soldering iron after replacement and adjustment.

1. Servicing precautions are printed on the cabinet, and should be followed closely.
2. Always unplug the unitÕs AC power cord from the AC power source before attempting to: (a) remove or reinstall any component or assembly, (b) disconnect PCB plugs or connectors, (c) connect all test components in parallel with an electrolytic capacitor.
3. Some components are raised above the printed circuit board for safety. An insulation tube or tape is sometimes used. The internal wiring is sometimes clamped to prevent contact with thermally hot components. Reinstall all such elements to their original position.
4. After servicing, always check that the screws, components and wiring have been correctly reinstalled. Make sure that the area around the serviced part has not been damaged.
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor components or assemblies, drain the electrostatic charge from your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, wear a discharging wrist­strap device. To avoid a shock hazard, be sure to remove the wrist strap before applying power to the monitor.
2. After removing an ESD-equipped assembly, place it on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil to prevent accumulation of an electrostatic charge.
3. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESDs.
4. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or desolder ESDs.
5. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as Òanti-staticÓ can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESDs.
5. Check the insulation between the blades of the AC plug and accessible conductive parts (examples: metal panels, input terminals and earphone jacks).
6. Insulation Checking Procedure: Disconnect the power cord from the AC source and turn the power switch ON. Connect an insulation resistance meter (500 V) to the blades of the AC plug.
The insulation resistance between each blade of the AC plug and accessible conductive parts (see above) should be greater than 1 megohm.
7. Never defeat any of the +B voltage interlocks. Do not apply AC power to the unit (or any of its assemblies) unless all solid-state heat sinks are correctly installed.
8. Always connect a test instrumentÕs ground lead to the instrument chassis ground before connecting the positive lead; always remove the instrumentÕs ground lead last.
6. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its protective package until you are ready to install it. Most replacement ESDs are packaged with leads that are electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or other conductive materials.
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ESD, 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 body motions when handling unpackaged replacement ESDs. Motions such as brushing clothes together, or lifting your foot from a carpeted floor can generate enough static electricity to damage an ESD.
9. Indicates ESDs on the Schematic Diagram in this manual.

1-3 Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD) Precautions
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are commonly called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated circuits and some field­effect transistors. The following techniques will reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
1-2 Servicing Precautions
WARNING1: First read the “Safety Precautions” section of this manual. If unforeseen circumstances
create conflict between the servicing precautions and safety precautions, always follow the safety precautions.
WARNING2: A high voltage VR replaced in the wrong direction may cause excessive X-ray
emissions.
WARNING3: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode.
