E, Australian model : AC : 220 Ð 230VÚ50Hz 5WSAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety check before releasing the set to the customer :
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, ÒmetallizedÓ knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check
leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground
and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part
having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5mA (500
microampers).
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 manufacturersÕ 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 ÒlimitÓ indica-
tion is 0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are
examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all
battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range
are suitable. (See Fig. A)

HOW TO CHANGE THE CERAMIC FILTER
This model is used two ceramic filters of CF1 and CF3.
You must use same type of color marked ceramic filters in
order to meet same specifications.
Therefore, the ceramic filter must change two pieces together
since it's supply two pieces in package as a spare parts.
