Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manu-facturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturers instructions.CAUTION: The battery pack used in this device may present a re or chemical burn hazard if mis-treated. Do not disassemble, heat above 60C(140F) or incinerate. Dispose of used batterypromptly. Keep away from children.CAUTION: Changing the back up battery. Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charg-ing, multilation or incineration of the cells must be avoided to prevent one or more of the fol-lowing occurrences; release of toxic materials,release of hydrogen and/or oxygen gas, rise in surface temperature. If a cell has leaked or vented, it should be replaced immediately while avoiding to touch it without any protection.Service and Inspection Precautions1. Obey precautionary markings andinstructionsLabels and stamps on the cabinet, chassis, and components identify areas requiring special pre-cautions. Be sure to observe these precautions, as well as all precautions listed in the operating manual and other associated documents.2. Use designated parts onlyThe sets components possess important safetycharacteristics, such as noncombustibility and the ability to tolerate large voltages. Be sure that replacement parts possess the same safety charac-teristics as the originals. Also remember that the mark, which appears in circuit diagrams and parts lists, denotes components that have particu-larly important safety functions; be extra sure to use only the designated components.3. Always follow the original design when mounting parts and routing wiresThe original layout includes various safety fea-tures, such as inclusion of insulating materials(tubes and tape) and the mounting of parts above the printer board. In addition, internal wiring has been routed and clamped so as to keep it awayfrom hot or high-voltage parts. When mounting parts or routing wires, therefore, be sure to du-plicate the original layout.4. Inspect after completing serviceAfter servicing, inspect to make sure that allscrews, components, and wiring have been returned to their original condition. Also check the area around the repair location to ensure that repair work has caused no damage, and conrm safety.5. When replacing chip components...Never reuse components. Also remember that the negative side of tantalum capacitors is easilydamaged by heat.6. When handl i ng fl exi bl e pri nt boards... The temperature of the soldering-iron tip should be about 270C. Do not apply the tip more than three times to the same pattern. Handle patterns with care; never apply force.Caution: Remember that hard disk drives are easily damaged by vibration. Always handlewith care.2VGN-FW Series (9-852-814-XX)The components i denti f i ed by mark cont ai n confdential information.St r i ct l y f ol l ow t he i nst r uct i ons whenever t he components are repaired and/or replaced.TABLE OF CONTENTS Section Title Page Section Title Page CHAPTER1.
