SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

COVER SECTION 1
SERVICE NOTE

1-1. SERVICE NOTE
1. POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4V), the power is shut off so
that the unit cannot operate.
This following two methods are available to prevent this. Take note of which to use during repairs.

Method 1.
Use the AC power adaptor (AC-L15, AC-VQ800 etc.).

Method 2.
Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B) to the LANC jack, and set the commander switch to the "ADJ" side.

2. TO TAKE OUT A CASSETTE WHEN NOT EJECT (FORCE EJECT)
1 Open the flash. (When the flash doesn't open, refer to "3. HOW TO OPEN THE FLASH WHEN THE FLASH DOSEN'T OPEN".)
2 Refer to page 2-3 to remove the cabinet (F) section.
3 Refer to page 2-3 to remove the cabinet (Rear) section.
4 Refer to page2-4 to remove the cabinet (R) section.
5 Refer to page2-11 to remove the EVF section.
6 Refer to page2-13 to remove the stroboscope section.
7 Refer to page2-15 to remove the lens section.
8 Open the VC-325 board.
9 Refer to page 2-19 to remove the VC-325 board and the mechanism deck.
q; Disconnect CN2502 (27P, 0.3mm) of VC-325 board.
qa Supply +4.5V from the DC power supply to the loading motor and unload with a pressing the cassette compartment.

4. DISCHARGING OF THE FLASHLIGHT POWER SUPPLY CAPACITOR
The power supply capacitor (C4208) of the FP-707 flexible is charged up to the maximum 300V potential.
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the capacitor is handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by the charged
voltage which is kept without discharging when the main power of the unit is simply turned off. Therefore, the remaining voltage must be
discharged as described below.

4-1. PREPARING THE SHORT JIG
To preparing the short jig. a small clip is attached to each end of a resistor of 1k/1W (1-215-869-119)
Wrap insulating tape fully around the reads of the resistor to prevent electric shock.

Wrap insulating tape.


4-2. DISCHARGING THE CAPACITOR

3 Refer to page 2-3 to remove the cabinet (Rear) section.
4 Refer to page 2-4 to remove the cabinet (R) section.
5 Refer to page 2-11 to remove the EVF section.
6 Refer to page 2-13 to remove the stroboscope section.
7 Remove the insulation sheet of the capacitor (C4208) of the FP-707 flexible.

5. NOTES ON HANDLING THE LASER DIODE [LASER UNIT (D7609 of FP-706 flexible)]
The laser diode may suffer electrostatic breakdown because of the potential difference generated by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on
clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown and also use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with care.
