Precautions

1. Precautions

1-1 Safety Precautions

CAUTION

Safety precautions are important for your own security. Please read the safety precautions thoroughly.

1. Use the anti-static handing procedures included with the anti-static mat to ensure that there is no electrostatic discharge and component damage.

2. Static electricity is the biggest danger to the PCB parts you are about to disassemble or assemble. It’s important to use your anti-static wrist strap to prevent damage to these components.

3. Using excessive force during disassembly and assembly can damage locking parts. Use care when handling “Locking parts” to avoid damage to FPCB or wire. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance instructions.

4. Due to increasing environmental concerns, a number of restrictions have been placed on the material content of electronic components and electronic assemblies. It requires utilizing Lead-Free (Pb-free) Soldering.

5. The following precautions must be observed when handling such components below.

Component Precautions

FPCB

CCD (CMOS)

IR CUT Filter,

LCD, LENS

PCB Use an anti-static mat as well as an anti-static wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to PCB.

FPCB is brittle material. It can be easily damaged thus it should be handled with care. It is recommended to use wooden or plastic tweezers for manual placement.

Becarefulnottostainedyourngerprint.Itisrecommendedtousewoodenorplastictweezers

for manual placement. Stain is often caused by the Alcohol used in these components. Find a clean, well-ventilated place to do your work.

It is recommended to use wooden or plastic tweezers for manual placement. Metal tip tweezer might make marks or damage.
