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 E.Capacitor P.C.B. CAUTION: 1. Be sure to discharge the capacitor on E.Capacitor P.C.B.. 2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit on E.Capacitor 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. 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: This Lithium battery is a critical component. (Type No.: ML-421S/ZTN Manufactured by Energy Company, Panasonic Corporation.) It must never be subjected to excessive heat or discharge. It must therefore only be fitted in requirement designed specifically for its use.

23 Card/Battery door 24 Release lever 25 DC coupler cover When using an AC adaptor, ensure that the Panasonic DC coupler (DMW-DCC5; optional) and AC adaptor (DMW-AC5E; optional) are used. We recommend you use a battery with sufficient battery power or the AC adaptor when recording motion pictures.
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 17
• 3. Error Code List The error code consists of 8 bits data and it shows the following information.
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.
Page 19
3. How to read 4. How to exit: Simply, turn the power off. (Since ICS function is executed under the condition of temporary cancellation of "INITIAL SETTINGS", it wake up with normal condition when turn off the power.)
7.2. When Replacing the Main P.C.B. After replacing the MAIN P.C.B., be sure to achieve adjustment. The adjustment instruction is available at “software download” on the “Support Information from NWBG/VDBG-AVC” web-site in “TSN system”, together with Maintenance software. 7.3. Service Position This Service Position is used for checking and replacing parts.
