PRECAUTIONS DURING SERVICING
1. In addition to safety, other parts and assemblies are
specified for conformance with such regulations as
those applying to spurious radiation. These must also
be replaced only with specified replacements.
Examples: RF converters, tuner units, antenna se-
lection switches, RF cables, noise-blocking capaci-
tors, noise-blocking filters, etc.
2. Use specified internal Wiring. Note especially:
1) Wires covered with PVC tubing
2) Double insulated wires
3) High voltage leads
3. Use specified insulating materials for hazardous live
parts. Note especially:
1) Insulating Tape
2) PVC tubing
3) Spacers (insulating barriers)
4) Insulating sheets for transistors
5) Plastic screws for fixing micro switches
4. When replacing AC primary side components (trans-
formers, power cords, noise blocking capacitors,
etc.), wrap ends of wires securely about the termi-
nals before soldering.
5. Make sure that wires do not contact heat generating
parts (heat sinks, oxide metal film resistors, fusible
resistors, etc.)
6. Check if replaced wires do not contact sharply edged
or pointed parts.
7. Make sure that foreign objects (screws, solder
droplets, etc.) do not remain inside the set.
MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO PROTECT THE
ENVIRONMENT
Used batteries with the ISO
symbol for recycling as well
as small accumulators (rechargeable
batteries), mini-batteries (cells) and starter batteries
should not be thrown into the garbage can. Please
save them at an appropriate depot.
WARNING:
Before servicing this TV receiver, read the X-RAY
RADIATION PRECAUTION, SAFETY INSTRUCTION and
PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE.
X-RAY RADIATION PRECAUTION
1. Excessively high can produce potentially hazardous
X-RAY RADIATION. To avoid such hazards, the high
voltage must not exceed the specified limit. The
normal value of the high voltage of this TV receiver
is 26.5 kV at zero beam current (minimum brightness).
The high voltage must not exceed 30 kV under any
circumstances. Each time when a receiver requires
servicing, the high voltage should be checked. The
reading of the high voltage is recommended to be
recorded as a part of the service record, It is important
to use an accurate and reliable high voltage meter.
2. The only source of X-RAY RADIATION in this TV
receiver is the picture tube. For continued X-RAY
RADIATION protection, the replacement tube must be
exactly the same type as specified in the parts list.
3. Some parts in this TV receiver have special safety
related characteristics for X-RADIATION protection.
For continued safety, the parts replacement should
be under taken only after referring the PRODUCT
SAFETY NOTICE.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION
The service should not be attempted by anyone
unfamiliar with the necessary instructions on this TV
receiver. The following are the necessary instructions
to be observed before servicing.
1. An isolation transformer should be connected in the
power line between the receiver and the AC line when
a service is performed on the primary of the converter
transformer of the set.
2. Comply with all caution and safety related provided
on the back of the cabinet, inside the cabinet, on the
chassis or picture tube.
3. To avoid a shock hazard, always discharge the
picture tube's anode to the chassis ground before
removing the anode cap.
4. Completely discharge the high potential voltage of the
picture tube before handling. The picture tube is a
vacuum and if broken, the glass will explode.
5. When replacing a MAIN PCB in the cabinet, always
be certain that all protective are installed properly
such as control knobs, adjustment covers or shields,
barriers, isolation resistor networks etc.
6. When servicing is required, observe the original lead
dressing. Extra precaution should be given to assure
correct lead dressing in the high voltage area.
