Safety Precautions - Harman Kardon FL8550 Service Manual

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose the unit to rain or moisture.
The laser diode in the optical system of this player can be damaged by electrostatic discharge from
your clothes or your body. Proper electrostatic grounding for service personal is required during servicing.
BEFORE REPAIRING THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Preparation
Human Body Grounding:
Many of the components used in this compact disc player, including the laser pickup, are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. Service personal should be grounded with an electrostatic armband (1 Mohm).
Caution:
Static charge on clothing does not escape through a body grounding wrist band.
Be careful not to contact the pickup or electrical components with your clothing.
Workbench and Tool Grounding:
A properly-grounded electroconductive plate (1Mohm) or metal sheet should be fitted to the workbench
surface. Tools and instruments (such as soldering irons and scopes) should be grounded to prevent AC
leakage.
Note: Laser diodes are so susceptible to damage from static electricity that, even if a static discharge does
not ruin a diode, it can shorten its life or cause it to work improperly.
Caution:
