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

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.

3. After servicing, always check that the screws,
components and wiring have been correctly
reinstalled. Make sure that the area around the
serviced part has not been damaged.



1-3 Static Electricity 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.



1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor

4. Bend the external antenna cable when connecting it to
the product. This is a measure to protect it from being
exposed to moisture. Otherwise, it may cause a fire or
electric shock.

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.
