SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
INTRODUCTION
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Before servicing, unplug the power cord to prevent an electric shock. When replacing parts, use only the manufacturer's recommended components. Check the condition of the power cord. Replace if wear or damage is evident. After servicing, be sure to restore the lead dress, insulation barriers, insulation papers, shields, etc. Before returning the serviced equipment to the customer, be sure to perform the following insulation resistance test to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.

INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST
1. Unplug the power cord and short the two prongs of the plug with a jumper wire. 2. Turn on the power switch. 3. Measure the resistance value with an ohmmeter between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metal cabinet part (screwheads, control shafts, handle brackets, etc.). "Note: Some exposed parts may be isolated from the chassis by design. These will read infinity. 4. If the measurement is outside the specified limits, there is a possibility of a shock hazard. The equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

Exposed metal part Ohmmeter Resistance = more than 5M ¶ (at DC 500 V)

FOR SERVICE TECHNICIANS
ICs and LSIs are vulnerable to static electricity. When repairing, the following precautions will help prevent recurring malfunctions. 1) Cover the plastic parts boxes with aluminum foil. 2) Ground the soldering irons. 3) Use a conductive mat on the worktable. 4) Do not touch IC or LSI pins with bare fingers.

3-1. OUTLINE
Troubleshooting is to make quality and reliability recover by finding out the broken component and exchange or adjustment or cleaning. We have to find out symptoms and then arrange troubleshooting method. If it's tough to finding out just a broken component, we should so arrange that block or section are specified, for example "digital board" or image sensor". A claim tag from customer or dealer gives us many kinds of expression for same trouble. Because they are not technician or engineer. But we should carefully read it on our supposition comes from experience, and sufficiently test the function related to that tag. Returns from customer or dealers often have to claim tag. In this case we need to find out the symptoms. Therefore please test the unit following simple-check-list. A problem difficult to find out may lurk, so we need to test repeatedly, for example make copy 10 pages or receiving 10 pages,.........

C Unit can copy, but can not transmit/receive long distance or international communication
The following 2 causes can be considered for this. Cause 1: The other party is executing automatic calling, the call has been received by this unit, and this time until response with a CED or DIS signal has been too long. (In almost case, this unit detects CNG signal and can respond to CED or DIS.) (According to the ITU-T standard, the communication procedure is stopped when there is no response from the other party within 35sec, so that the other party releases the line.)
(Time until Response) Line Connection Time False ring

False ring Send Time & CNG Detect Time (about 17 sec depending on the setting user program mode #30) Max 35 sec

CED Signal send

DIS Signal send

75 msec Other party FAX machine dials

Other party FAX machine detects the DIS signal.

(Cause and Countermeasure) As shown in the above chart, the total handshaking time must be reduced, but because of the long distance connection and linking of several stations, the line connection time can not be reduced. Accordingly, the following countermeasures should be tried. (A) The TEL/FAX DELAYED RING count should be 1. (user parameter: code No. 06) (B) As the count of 35 sec is started directly after dialing or directly after the START button has been pressed for models with a START button, the other party should be called manually, if possible. Another possibility is entry of two pauses at the end of the auto dial number of the transmission side, In this way, the start time for the count can be delayed by 2 pauses (about 10sec). Cause 2: Erroneous detection because of echo or erroneous detection because of an echo canceler.

FAX 1 S1

FAX 2

Station 1

S2

Station 2

2 Line Type
The sea bottom cable or satellite communication path. (4 Line Type)

2 Line Type

(Echo/Echo Canceler) The signal from FAX1 reaches FAX2 via the stations 1 and 2, but the reflection signal at station 2 also returns via station 1 (echo). As the distance between station 1 and station 2 is long, the echo returns to FAX 1 max. 600msec after transmission, so than there is the possibility that this signal is detected erroneously as the signal from FAX2 and that trouble is caused. In the case of a normal call, there is also the possibility that the echo of the own voice will make the call difficult to understand. For this reason, each station (station 1, station 2) attaches echo cancelers (S1, S2) in case of international lines or long distance lines. For the echo canceler, the level of the transmission signal from FAX 1 is compared with the level of the reception signal from the FAX2, and when transmission signal is larger, S1 is closed, while S2 is opened when it is smaller. In other words, with transmission from FAX1, S1 is closed and S2 is open, so that the echo does not return to FAX1.

| 38 |

KX-F910BX
(Cause and Countermeasure) (Cause A) When the training signal is transmitted from FAX1 during the communication procedure at the time of transmission from FAX1 to FAX2, there is a delay until the echo canceler operates and S1 is closed, so that a part of the head of the training signal may drop out, normal reception by FAX2 may not be possible, and transmission may not be started. (Countermeasure A) When the international line mode becomes ON service mode (code No. 521), a dummy signal is attached to the head of the training signal to prevent this problem. As this normally is ON, it is necessary to reconfirm that this has not becomes OFF. When the international mode is switched OFF, the transmission side will try the training signal three times at each speed (9600BPS, 4800BPS and 2400BPS), and in case of NG, it will drop the speed by one rank (fall-back). When the international mode is switched ON, each speed will be tried only twice. In other words, the slower speed with fewer errors are reached more easily. This is done as the line conditions may deteriorate and the picture may be disturbed more easily during communication in case of international lines or long distance communication, even when the training has been OK. The default value is ON as preference is given to clearer pictures rather than speed. (Cause B) The echo canceler operation is stopped with a signal of 2100Hz (i.e. S1 and S2 become ON). Accordingly, when FAX1 has executed automatic reception, a CED signal is output, and if this signal should be 2100Hz, S1 and S2 will become ON. Then the echo of the DIS signal output afterwards may be received and FAX1 may execute erroneous operation, preventing start of communication. (Countermeasure B) In service mode, the CED signal frequency is set to 1100 Hz (code No.520) or the time setting between the CED signal and the DIS signal is set from 75msec to 500msec in service mode (code No.593). This is done because the echo canceler operation stop mode is cancelled with an interval of 250msec or more. (Cause C) KX-F910BX shall be assumed for FAX1 and a set of a different company shall be assumed for FAX2. In case of transmission from the KX-F910BX to FAX2, FAX2 executes automatic reception and transmits a CED signal (2100 Hz), followed by a DIS signal. As here the echo cancelers stops as described in cause B, the echo of the DIS signal returns to FAX2. On the other hand, the KX-F910BX detects the DIS signal and transmits a DCS signal. In other words, it is possible that the echo of the DIS signal and the DCS signal transmitted from the KX-F910BX reach FAX2 one after the other, FAX2 executes erroneous detection, and communication are not started. (Countermeasure C) When international DIS detection setting is made effective in service mode (code No.594), the KX-F910BX does not respond to the first DIS signal and returns a DCS signal only for the second DIS signal. In other words, there is an interval of 250msec between transmission of the first and the second DIS signal, so that the echo cancelers operation recovers and no echo is generated for the second DIS signal. Note: When the other FAX does not respond with a DCS signal after DIS signal transmission, the DIS signal is transmitted three times for trial.

The graphs below show you the wave form that is observed when unit (board) doesn't work. (A3 is intentionally opened at pin 135 of ASIC in this board.) Please check that active (low level) term of ROMCE is longer than good wave form, **ROMCE is active (low level) excepting RESET is active.** and RESET is frequently coming on every 4 msec. In the case of this wave form ASIC (IC1), ROM (IC2) or on the way of bus line route is possibly defect. If soldering, conductance is no problem, we need to replace these ICs.
