1.4. How to Discharge the E.Capacitor on Flash P.C.B. Unit CAUTION: • Be sure to discharge the E.Capacitor on Flash P.C.B. Unit before disassembling. • Be careful of the high voltage circuit on Flash P.C.B. Unit when servicing. [Discharging Procedure] 1.
2 Warning 2.1. Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
NOTE: This Lithium battery is a critical component. (Type No. : ML-421S/DB Manufactured by Energy Company, Panasonic Corporation.) It must never be subjected to excessive heat or discharge. It must therefore only be fitted in requirement designed specifically for its use.
