1 Safety Precaution 1.1. General Guidelines 1.3. Leakage Current Hot Check 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE (See Figure 1.) There are special components used in this equipment 1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use which are important for safety. These parts are marked by an isolation transformer for this check.
1.4. How to Discharge the Capacitor on Flash Top PCB CAUTION: 1. Be sure to discharge the capacitor on FLASH TOP PCB. 2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit on FLASH TOP PCB when servicing. [Discharging Procedure] 1. Refer to the disassemble procedure and Remove the necessary parts/unit. 2.
2 Warning 2.1. Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Elec- trostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local 2.3.2.3. How to Replace the Fuse Panasonic Dealer. 1. Remove the Fuse Cover with a screwdriver. If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home then the fuse should be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of safety.
2.4. How to Replace the Lithium Battery 2.4.1. Replacement Procedure 1. Remove the SUB PCB. (Refer to Disassembly Procedures.) 2. Remove the Lithium battery (Ref. No. “B9101” at component side of SUB PCB) and then replace it into new one. NOTE: This Lithium battery is a critical component.
3 Service Navigation 3.1. Introduction This service manual contains technical information, which allow service personnel’s to understand and service this model. Please place orders using the parts list and not the drawing reference numbers. If the circuit is changed or modified, the information will be followed by service manual to be controlled with original service manual. 3.2.

3.4.2. INITIAL SETTINGS: When you replace the Main PCB, be sure to perform the initial settings after achieving the adjustment by ordering the following pro- cedure in accordance with model suffix of the unit. 1. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Before proceeding Initial settings, be sure to read the following CAUTIONS. 2.
Page 11
• Step 5. Set the INITIAL SETTING: (Refer to “CAUTION 1”) [Caution for befor settings] Once "NONE(JAPAN)" (Area for Japan) or "P" (Area for Noth America) is selected with "INITIAL SETTINGS", other areas will not displayed even if "INITIAL SETTINGS" menu is displayed again, thus, the area can not be changed. Select the area carefully.
6 Service Mode 6.1. Error Code Memory Function 1. General description This unit is equipped with history of error code memory function, and can be memorized 16 error codes in sequence from the latest. When the error is occurred more than 16, the oldest error is overwritten in sequence. The error code is not memorized when the power supply is shut down forcibly (when the unit is powered on by the battery, the battery is pulled out) because the error code is memorized to FLASH ROM when the unit is powered off.
