1 Precautions
Follow these safety, servicing and ESD precautions to prevent damage and to protect against potential hazards such as electrical shock.

1-1 Safety Precautions

1-1-1 Warnings
1. For continued safety, do not attempt to modify the circuit
board.
2. Disconnect the AC power and DC power jack before
servicing.
1-1-2 Servicing the LCD Monitor
1. When servicing the LCD Monitor, Disconnect the AC
line cord from the AC outlet.
2. It is essential that service technicians have an accurate
voltage meter available at all times. Check the
calibration of this meter periodically.

1-1-3 Fire and Shock Hazard
Before returning the monitor to the user, perform the Figure 1-1. Leakage Current Test Circuit

resistor-capacitor networks, mechanical insulators, etc. The current measured should not exceed 0.5 milliamp.
3. Leakage Current Hot Check (Figure 1-1): Reverse the power-plug prongs in the AC outlet and
repeat the test.
WARNING : Do not use an isolation
transformer during this test.
Use a leakage current tester or a metering system that 1-1-4 Product Safety Notices

1-2 Servicing Precautions
WARNING: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode.
Caution: Before servicing units covered by this service manual, read and follow the Safety Precautions section
of this manual.
Note: If unforeseen circumstances create conflict between the following servicing precautions and any of the safety
precautions, always follow the safety precautions.


1-2-1 General Servicing
Precautions 4. Check the insulation between the blades of the AC plug
1. Always unplug the unit's AC power cord from the AC and accessible conductive parts (examples: metal panels,
power source and disconnect the DC Power Jack before input terminals and earphone jacks).

Make sure that the area around the serviced part has not
been damaged.


1-3 Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD) Precautions
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are commonly called
Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors. The
following techniques will reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

4. "Bend the external antenna cable when connecting it to
the product. This is a measure to protect it from being
exposed to moisture."


5. Make sure to turn the power off and unplug the
power cord from the outlet before repositioning
the product. Also check the antenna cable or the
external connectors if they are fully unplugged.
Damage to the cord may cause fire or electric
shock.
