SAFETY  CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow-
ing safety check before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, 
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.

LEAKAGE  TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and 
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a 
return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes.). 
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1.  A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA 

WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these 
instruments.

2.  A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245 

digital multimeter is suitable for this job.

3.  Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a 

VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication 
is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage 
scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples 
of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated 
digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are suitable. (See 
Fig. A)

NOTES  ON  CHIP  COMPONENT  REPLACEMENT
• 

Never reuse a disconnected chip component.

• 

Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.

UNLEADED  SOLDER
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution:  Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with 

the lead free mark due to their particular size)

Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
•  Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 °C higher 

than ordinary solder.

 

Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be 
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.

 

Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to 
about 350 °C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if 

the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!

• Strong 

viscosity

 

Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to fl ow) 
than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges 
occur such as on IC pins, etc.

•  Usable with ordinary solder
 

It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may 
also be added to ordinary solder.

NOTE  OF  REPLACING  THE  WIRELESS  LAN  MODULE 
(11SA-NS500)
When replacing the wireless LAN module (11SA-NS500) (Ref. 
No. MOD1), MAC address is changed. Print the following expla-
nation, cut it, and hand over it to the customer with the unit, when 
returning the set that the repair is completed to the customer.

MAC address of this unit has been changed by this repair. The 
customer who uses the MAC address fi ltering function of con-
nected access point equipment please set it again. MAC address 
is possible to confi rm it on the Device Details screen in “Network 
Speaker Wi-Fi Utility” of attached application.

PROCESSING  OF  REPLACING  THE  WIRELESS  LAN  
MODULE (11SA-NS500)
When replacing the wireless LAN module (11SA-NS500) (Ref. 
No. MOD1), peel the service TAG stuck on the bottom side of a 
main unit, and stick on the new service TAG (refer to the follow-
ing fi gure) enclosed with the new wireless LAN module (11SA-
NS500) (Ref. No. MOD1).

CHECKING  FOR  NETWORK  OPERATIONS
Equipment Used:
PC (WINDOWS XP/Vista/7)
Router (802.11b/g, WPS-compatible)
If there is no WPS-compatible router and it is desired to download 
the software for connection (Network Speaker Wi-Fi Utility), con-
tact our Service Division.
Two LAN cables (Category 5 compliant, normal or shield type)

Checking Procedures:
1.  Checking Audio Output (Connection from PC to router not re-

quired)

 

Input sound from other source to the AUDIO IN jack of the 
unit and check the sound from the unit’s speaker.

2. Checking 

Wired 

Connection

 

Connect between PC and the SA-NS500 using a LAN cable. 
(The SA-NS500’s LINK LED illuminates amber)

 

When the OS is WINDOWS Vista/7, connect the device and 
make sure that the device is detected and displayed.

 

When the OS is WINDOWS XP, enable “UPNP Service” and 
then connect the device. Make sure that the device is pop-up 
displayed on the PC.

3. Checking 

Wireless 

Connection

3-1. Method of checking the connection through the Network 

Speaker Wi-Fi Utility

 

 Connect between PC and the router and between the rout-
er and the SA-NS500 using LAN cables (The SA-NS500’s 
LINK LED illuminates amber).

 

 Activate the Network Speaker Wi-Fi Utility and follow the 
menu to make WIRELESS setup.

 

 Upon completion of SETUP, make sure that the LINK LED 
illuminates green.

3-2.  Method of checking the connection through WPS
 

 Prepare a WPS-compatible wireless router. Then press the 
SA-NS500’s WPS key.

 

 Make sure that the device is correctly connected and the 
LINK LED illuminates green.

CAUTION
When you check wireless connection during servicing, the connection 
setup will be changed. At the time of returning the set to the customer 
after servicing, you should inform that wireless connection setup is to be 
made again when using the set in wires connection.

Error Display:
•  LINK LED is blinking red:
 

The Access Point cannot be found in WPS connection.

•  LINK LED is illuminated red:
 

Wireless connection is already set up and the setup is invalid.
