1 Safety Precaution 1.1. General guidelines 1. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit. 2. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly installed.
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- trostatic Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistor-sand semi- conductor "chip"...
2.2. Precaution of Laser Diode 2.3. Handling the Lead-free Solder 2.3.1. About lead free solder (PbF) Distinction of PbF P.C.B.: P.C.B.s (manufactured) using lead free solder will have a PbF stamp on the P.C.B. Caution: • Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder; Typically the melting point is 50 - 70°F (30 - 40°C) higher. Please use a high temperature soldering iron.
