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 Flash PCB CAUTION: 1. Be sure to discharge the capacitor on FLASH PCB. 2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit on FLASH PCB 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 Electrostatic 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).
2.5. How to Replace the Lithium Battery 2.5.1. Replacement Procedure 1. Remove the Top Operation PCB. (Refer to Disassembly Procedures.) 2. Remove the Lithium battery (Ref. No. at component side of Top Operation PCB) and then replace it into new one. Note: The lithium battery is a critical component.
3 Service Navigation 3.1. Introduction This service manual contains technical information, which will allow service personnel's to understand and service this model. Please place orders using the parts list and not the drawing reference numbers. If the circuit is changed or modified, the information will be followed by service manual to be controlled with original service manual. 3.2.
3.4. How to Define the Model Suffix There are two kinds of DMC-TZ50, regardless of the colour. • a) DMC-TZ50 (Japan domestic model.) • b) DMC-TZ50P (DMC-TZ50S is exclusively Japan domestic model.) What is the difference is that the “INITIAL SETTINGS” data which is stored in Flash ROM mounted on Main PCB. 3.4.1.
Page 12
3.4.2. INITIAL SETTINGS: When you replace the Main PCB, be sure to perform the initial settings after achieving the adjustment by ordering the following pro- cedure in accordance with model suffix of the unit. 1. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Before proceeding Initial settings, be sure to read the following CAUTIONS. 2.
Page 13
• Step 5. Set the INITIAL SETTING: (Refer to “CAUTION 1”) [Caution for before settings] Once “NONE(JAPAN)” (Area for japan) is selected with “INITIAL SETTINGS”, other area will not displayed even if “INITIAL SET- TINGS” menu is displayed again, thus, the area can not be changed. Select the area carefully.
6.3. Personnel Information: Since this unit is equipped with Wi-Fi function, the confidential user's personal information (such as ID, password, mail address) is kept in the unit. Although we requested to user "delete personal information when requesting repair", handle it as strictly confidential when it is still remained.
7 Service Mode 7.1. 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 (when the unit is powered on by the battery, the battery is pulled out) because the error code is memorized to FLASH ROM when the unit is powered off.
