SERVICING NOTE
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety check 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 TEST
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 microampers).
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 manuf acturers’ instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated A C 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 lowvoltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63T rd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are
suitable. (See Fig. A)

HOW TO CHANGE THE FM CERAMIC FILTERS
This model is used two ceramic filters of CF1 and CF3.
You must use same type of color marked ceramic filters in order
to meet same specifications.
Therefore, the ceramic filter must change two pieces together since
it's supply two pieces in one package as a spare parts.

CORD DRESSING
(POWER, ANTENNA)
1) Connect the power cord and antenna cord as shown in the
figure.
2) Mount the cord stopper with screws (P3 × 10).
Note:Tighten completely the screws (P3 × 10).
