CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

radiation exposure.
Notes on chip component replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged by heat.
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as
described below.
LEAKAGE
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1.A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT -540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instruments.
2.A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3.Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter . The “limit” indication
is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage
scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of
a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See
Fig. A)
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
• Keep the temperature of soldering iron around 270˚C
during repairing.
• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by
the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

[About Switches on POWER Board]
•Backup Power ON/OFF Switch (S1351 B. UP ON)
Be sure to turn this switch to OFF when removing and inserting connectors to and from the circuit boards.
This switch protects semiconductors from breakdown due to static electricity.
Set this switch to ON during normal operation. The DPA-300 does not work unless this switch is set to ON.
•Reset Switch (S1352 RESET)
This switch resets forcibly system of DPA-300. Press the reset switch when microprocessor runs away, or when DPA-300 does not
operate normally, or when the main power is desired to turn ON, OFF and back ON momentarily during test mode, etc.

Precautions for Checking Laser Diode Emission
To check the emission of the laser diode during adjustments, never
view directly from the top as this may lose your eye-sight.
Precautions for Use of optical pick-up (KMS-210A)
As the laser diode in the optical pick-up is easily damaged by static
electricity, solder the laser tap of the flexible board when using it.
Before disconnecting the connector, desolder first. Before connecting
the connector, be careful not to remove the solder . Also take adequate
measures to prevent damage by static electricity . Handle the flexible
board with care as it breaks easily.
