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 Capacitor on Flash PCB • This unit equipped with two pieces of capacitors as flash charging capacitors. “Either one of the capacitor discharging operation” makes discharging for others as well. CAUTION: 1. Be sure to discharge the capacitor on FLASH PCB. 2.
2 Warning 2.1. Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatic 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).
2.3.2.3. How to Replace the Fuse A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local 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.
Note: The lithium battery is a critical component. (Type No.: ML-421S/ZTK Manufactured by Energy Company, Panasonic Corporation) It must never be subjected to excessive heat or discharge. It must therefore only be fitted in equipment designed specifically for its use.

NOTE: Above caution is applicable for a battery pack which is for DMC-FT1 and DMC-TS1 series, as well. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3.2. Air-leak test (inspection) • This product was tested using Panasonic’s internal test standard, which is in accordance with : Waterproof/Dustproof : IEC60529 IP58, certified to a depth of 3.0 m (60 minutes), Shockproof : MIL-STD-810F Method 516.5-Shock, compliant to a height of 1.5 m.
lead free solder. • Use the soldering iron (more than 70W) equipped with the temperature control after setting the temperature at 350±30 degrees C (662±86 °F). Recommended Lead Free Solder (Service Parts Route.) • The following 3 types of lead free solder are available through the service parts route. RFKZ03D01KS-----------(0.3mm 100g Reel) RFKZ06D01KS-----------(0.6mm 100g Reel) RFKZ10D01KS-----------(1.0mm 100g Reel)

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.
