DCR-PC103E/PC104E/PC105/PC105E SECTION 1 COVER COVER SERVICE NOTE 1-1. SERVICE NOTE 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.
DCR-PC103E/PC104E/PC105/PC105E DISCHARGING OF THE FLASHLIGHT POWER SUPPLY CAPACITOR (DCR-PC105/PC105E) The power supply capacitor (C6606) of the ST-084 board 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.
