Sony Corporation disclaims any proprietary interest in trademarks and trade names other than its own.

Caution Markings for Lithium/Ion Battery - The following or similar texts shall be provided on battery pack of equipment or in both the operating and the service instructions.

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 instr uctions.

CAUTION: The battery pack used in this de vice may present a fir e or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Keep away from children.

CAUTION: Changing the back up battery.

•Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charging, multilation or incineration of the cells must bi avoided to prevent one or more of the following occurrences; release of toxic materials, release of hydrogen and/or oxygen gas, rise in surface temperature.

• If a cell has leaked or vented, it should be replaced immediately while avoiding to touch it without any protection.

Service and Inspection Precautions

1. Obey precautionary markings and instructions

Labels and stamps on the cabinet, chassis, and components identify areas requiring special precautions. Be sure to observe these precautions, as well as all precautions listed in the operating manual and other associated documents.

2. Use designated parts only

The set’s components possess important safety characteristics, such as noncombustibility and the ability to tolerate large voltages. Be sure that replacement parts possess the same safety characteristics as the originals. Also remember that the 0 mark, which appears in circuit diagrams and parts lists, denotes components that have particularly important safety functions; be extra sure to use only the designated components.

3. Always follow the original design when mounting parts and routing wires

The original layout includes various safety features, such as inclusion of insulating materials (tubes and tape) and the mounting of parts above the printer board. In addition, internal wiring has been routed and clamped so as to keep it away from hot or high-voltage parts. When mounting parts or routing wires, therefore, be sure to duplicate the original layout.

4. Inspect after completing service

After servicing, inspect to make sure that all screws, components, and wiring have been returned to their original condition. Also check the area around the repair location to ensure that repair work has caused no damage, and confirm safety.

5. When replacing chip components...

Never reuse components. Also remember that the negati ve side of tantalum capacitors is easily damaged by heat.

6. When handling flexible print boards...

•The temperature of the soldering-iron tip should be about 270C.

•Do not apply the tip more than three times to the same pattern.

•Handle patterns with care; never apply force.

Caution: Remember that hard disk drives are easily damaged by vibration. Always handle with care.
