Flexible Circuit Board Repairing

• Keep the temperature of the 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.

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.

1. Set REC TIME switch (S706) to NORMAL (4.8cm/s).

2. Play back the center portion of tape in REVmode, adjust R V602 so that the reading on the frequency counter becomes 3,000 Hz.

3. Set REC TIME switch (S706) to DOUBLE (2.4cm/s).

4. Play back the center portion of tape in REVmode, adjust R V601 so that the reading on the frequency counter becomes 1,500 Hz.

Specifications: NORMAL (4.8cm/s) : 2,985Hz - 3,015Hz DOUBLE (2.4cm/s) : 1,493Hz - 1,507Hz

5. Confirm the frequency difference between the beginning and the end of tape should be 1.5%.
