1 Safety Precautions 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"...
2.3. Service caution based on legal restrictions 2.3.1. General description about Lead Free Solder (PbF) The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation. The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb).
3.4. Operation check when a USB device is connected You can check the operation status (normal or abnormal) of the USB connection part of this unit easily as shown below. Connect each device to the USB terminal on the front panel and check the operation status on the TV monitor. Normal operation: Automatically displayed when the USB connection is made to a digital camera, etc.
