This appliance is classified as
a CLASS 1 LASER product.
The CLASS 1 LASER
PRODUCT MARKING is
located on the rear exterior.
This caution label is located inside
the unit.
The laser component in this product is ca-
pable of emitting radiation exceeding the
limit for Class 1.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Notes on chip component replacement
¥ Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
¥ Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged by heat.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
¥ Keep the temperature of soldering iron around 270ûC
during repairing.
¥ Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
¥ Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks 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
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth Ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a re-
turn to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microampers). Leak-
age 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 digi-
tal 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 indication is 0.75
V, 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)
