1. Precautions

1. Be sure that all of the built-in protective devices are

replaced. Restore any missing protective shields.

2. When reinstalling the chassis and its assemblies, be

sure to restore all pretective devices, including :
control knobs and compartment covers.

3. Make sure that there are no cabinet openings

through which people--particularly children
--might insert fingers and contact dangerous
voltages. Such openings include the spacing
between the picture tube and the cabinet mask,
excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and
improperly fitted back covers.

If the measured resistance is less than 1.0 megohm
or greater than 5.2 megohms, an abnormality exists
that must be corrected before the unit is returned
to the customer.

4. Leakage Current Hot Check (See Fig. 1) :

Warning : Do not use an isolation transformer
during this test. Use a leakage current tester or a
metering system that complies with American
National Standards Institute (ANSI C101.1,

Leakage Current for Appliances

), and Underwriters

Laboratories (

UL Publication UL1410, 59.7

5. With the unit completely reassembled, plug the AC

line cord directly the power outlet. With the unitÕs

AC switch first in the ON position and then OFF,

measure the current between a known erath
ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.) and all
exposed metal parts, including : antennas, handle
brackets, metal cabinets, screwheads and control
shafts. The current measured should not exceed
0.5 milliamp. Reverse the power-plug prongs in the

AC outlet and repeat the test.

6. X-ray Limits :

The picture tube is designed to prohibit X-ray
emissions. To ensure continued X-ray protection,
replace the picture tube only with one that is the
same type as the original.

Fig. 1-1 AC Leakage Test

7. Antenna Cold Check :

With the unitÕs AC plug disconnected from the

AC source, connect an electrical jumper across the

two AC prongs. Connect one lead of the ohmmeter
to an AC prong.
Connect the other lead to the coaxial connector.

8. High Voltage Limit :

High voltage must be measured each time
servicing is done on the B+, horizontal deflection
or high voltage circuits.

Heed the high voltage limits. These include the

X-ray protection Specifications Label

, and the

Product Safety and X-ray Warning Note

on the

service data schematic.

9. Some semiconductor (Òsolid stateÓ) devices are

easily damaged by static electricity.
Such components are called Electrostatically
Sensitive Devices (ESDs); examples include
integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors.
The following techniques will reduce the
occurrence of component damage caused by static
electricity.

10. Immediately before handling sny semiconductor

components or assemblies, drain the electrostatic
charge from your body by touching a known
earth ground. Alternatively, wear a discharging
Wrist-strap device. (Be sure to remove it prior to
applying power--this is an electric shock
precaution.)
