Caution Markings foe Lithium/Ion Battery-
The following or similar texts shall be provided on
battery pack of equipment or in both the operating
and the service instructions.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is
incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to the
Manufacturer'
CAUTION: The battery pack used in this device may
present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated.
Do not disassemble, heat above 100
(212
) or
incinerate. Dispose of used battery promptly. Keep
Away from children..
CAUTION: Changing the back up battery.
Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charging,
multilati on or incineration of the cells must be
avoided to prevent one or mo re of the following
occurrences; release of toxic materials, release of
hydrogen and/or oxygen gas, rise
in surface
temperature.
If a cell has leaked or vented, it should be replaced
immediately while avoiding to touch it without any
protection..
*
*1.Obey precautionary markings and instructions
* Labels and stamps on the cabinet,
*chassis,
and
components
are
as
*requiring
special
precautions.
Be
*sure to observe these precautions,
*as well as all precautions listed in
*the
operating
manual
an d
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 characteristics as the originals. Also
*remember that the 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, intern al 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 duplicat
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
Damaged by heat.,
6.When handing flexible print boards ...
T he temperature of the soldering-Iron tip shoul
be about 270
.
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 da maged
by vibration. Always handle
with care.
