1 Safety Precautions 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 E.Capacitor on Flash P.C.B. CAUTION: 1. Be sure to discharge the E.capacitor on FLASH P.C.B.. 2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit on FLASH P.C.B. 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.

Page 13
• Step 5. Choose the model suffix in “INITIAL SETTINGS”: (Refer to “CAUTION 1”) [Caution: After replacing MAIN P.C.B.] The model suffix can been chosen, JUST ONE TIME. Once one of the model suffix have been chosen, the model suffix lists will not be displayed, thus, it can not be changed. Therefore, select the area carefully.
Page 14
• Step 7. CONFIRMATION: Confirm the display of “PLEASE SET THE CLOCK” in concerned language when the unit is turned on again. When the unit is connected to PC with USB cable, it is detected as removable media. (When the “GT” or “GK” model suffix is selected, the display shows “PLEASE SET THE CLOCK” in Chinese.) 1) As for your reference, major default setting condition is as shown in the following table.
Always use a genuine Panasonic AC adaptor (optional). When using an AC adaptor, ensure that the Panasonic DC coupler (optional) and AC adaptor (optional) are used. If the power supply is cut off due to a power cut or the AC adaptor being disconnected, the motion picture being recorded using the AC adaptor will not be recorded.
The only batteries suitable for use with this unit are genuine Panasonic products and batteries manufactured by other companies and certified by Panasonic. (Batteries which do not support this function cannot be used). Panasonic cannot in any way guarantee the quality, performance or safety of batteries which have been manufactured by other companies and are not genuine Panasonic products.
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 (i.e.,when the unit is powered on by the battery, the battery is pulled out) The error code is memorized to FLASH-ROM when the unit has just before powered off.
Page 19
• 3. Error Code List The error code consists of 8 bits data and it shows the following information.
Page 20
Important notice about "Error Code List" 1) About "*" indication: The third digit from the left is different as follows. - In case of 0 (example: 18001000) When the third digit from the left shows "0", this error occurred under the condition of INITIAL SETTINGS has been completed.
7 Service Fixture & Tools 7.1. Service Fixture and Tools The following Service Fixture and tools are used for checking and servicing this unit. 7.2. When Replacing the Main P.C.B. After replacing the MAIN P.C.B., be sure to achieve adjustment. The service software is available at “TSN Website”.
