1.4. How to Discharge the E.Capacitor on Flash P.C.B. CAUTION: • Be sure to discharge the E.Capacitor on Flash P.C.B. before disassembling. • Be careful of the high voltage circuit on Flash P.C.B. when servicing. [Discharging Procedure] 1. Remove the Battery Con Cover. 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).
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.
2.4. How to Replace the Lithium Battery 2.4.1. Replacement Procedure 1. Remove the EXT MIC P.C.B.. (Refer to Disassembly Procedures.) 2. Unsolder the each soldering point of electric lead terminal for Lithium battery (Ref. No. “B4401” at component side of EXT MIC P.C.B.) and remove the Lithium battery together with electric lead terminal.
