CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
Service and Inspection Precautions
1. Obey precautionary markings and instructions
Labels and stamps on the cabinet, chassis, and components identify areas requiring special precau-
tions. Be sure to observe these precautions, as well as all precautions listed in the operating manual
and other associated documents.
2. Use designated parts only
The set's components possess important safety characteristics, such as noncombustibility and the
ability to tolerate large voltages. Be sure that replacement parts possess the same safety characteris-
tics as the originals. Also remember that the (0 mark, which appears in circuit diagrams and parts
lists, denotes components that have particularly important safety functions; be extra sure to use only
the designated components.
3. Always follow the original design when mounting parts and routing wires
The original layout includes various safety features, such as inclusion of insulating materials (tubes
and tape) and the mounting of parts above the printer board. In addition, internal wiring has been
routed and clamped so as to keep it away from hot or high-voltage parts. When mounting parts or
routing wires. therefore, be sure to duplicate the original layout.
4. Inspect after completing service
After servicing, inspect to make sure that all screws, components, and wiring have been returned to
their original condition. Also check the area around the repair location to ensure that repair work has
caused no damage, and confirm safety.
5. When replacing chip components...
Never reuse components. Also remember that the negative side of tantalum capacitors is easily dam-
aged by heat.
6. When handling flexible print boards...
· The temperature of the soldering-iron tip should be about 270
°C.
· Do not apply the tip more than three times to the same pattern.
· Handle patterns with care; never apply force.
Caution: Remember that hard disk drives are easily damaged by vibration. Always handle with
care.
