LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground
and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part hav-
ing a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microam-
peres).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or
RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to
use these instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision
245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The "limit" indica-
tion is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are
examples of a passive VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all
battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC
range are suitable. (See Fig. A)
WARNING!!
NEVER TURN ON THE POWER IN A CONDITION IN
WHICH THE DEGAUSS COIL HAS BEEN REMOVED.

After correcting the original service problem, perform the fol-
lowing safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-sol-
dered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder
splashes and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
"pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps,
and mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely
certain that you have replaced all the insulators.
4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly tran-
sistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point
them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious
signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend
the replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
7. Check the B+ and HV to see if they are specified values.
Make sure your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of
your HV meter if sets always have low HV.
8. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, "metallized"
knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC
Leakage. Check leakage as described below.

POWER SAVING FUNCTION
DIAGNOSIS
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
ENERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a
computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power
Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically
reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below.
*
Figures reflect power consumption when no USB compatible
peripherals are connected to the monitor.
** "Sleep" and "deep sleep" are power saving modes defined by the
Environmental Protection Agency.
*** When your computer enters in a power saving mode, the input signal
is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After a few
seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode.

This monitor is equipped with a self-diagnosis function. If there is
a problem with your monitor or computer(s), the screen will go
blank and the 1 (power) indicator will either light up green or
flash orange. If the 1 (power) indicator is lit in orange, the
computer is in power saving mode. Try pressing any key on the
keyboard.
If the 1 (power) indicator is green
1 Remove any plugs from the video input 1 and 2
connectors, or turn off the connected computer(s).
2 Press the 1 (power) button twice to turn the monitor
off and then on.
3 Move the joystick to the right , for 2 seconds
before the monitor enters power saving mode.
If all four color bars appear (white, red, green, blue), the monitor
is working properly. Reconnect the video input cables and check
the condition of your computer(s).
If the color bars do not appear, there is a potential monitor failure.
Inform your authorized Sony dealer of the monitor's condition.
If the 1 (power) indicator is flashing orange
Press the 1 (power) button twice to turn the monitor off
and then on.
If the 1 (power) indicator lights up green, the monitor is working
properly.
If the 1 (power) indicator is still flashing, there is a potential
monitor failure. Count the number of seconds between orange
flashes of the 1 (power) indicator and inform your authorized
Sony dealer of the monitor's condition. Be sure to note the model
name and serial number of your monitor. Also note the make and
model of your computer and video board.
