SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and
bridges.

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched”
or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors,
that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the
customer and recommend their replacement.

• Set the soldering iron tip temperature to 350 °C approximately.
• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the circuit

• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or
unsoldering.

1-1. POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4 V), the power is shut off
so that the unit cannot operate.
These following method is available to prevent this.
so that the unit cannot operate.
These following method is available to prevent this.
Method:
Use the AC power adaptor.
1-2. PRECAUTION ON REPLACING THE VC-648 BOARD
Turn on the set and establish a USB connection , save the USB serial data before replacing the board.
DESTINATION DATA
When you replace to the repairing board, the written destination data of repairing board also might be changed to original setting.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “DESTINATION DATA WRITE”.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “DESTINATION DATA WRITE”.
After the board replacement, the error of the built-in recording media may be displayed.
In this case, execute the [DESTINATION DATA WRITE] then the error will be cleared.
If it is not cleared with [DESTINATION DATA WRITE], format the built-in recording media.
In this case, execute the [DESTINATION DATA WRITE] then the error will be cleared.
If it is not cleared with [DESTINATION DATA WRITE], format the built-in recording media.
USB SERIAL SAVE
When you replace to the repairing board, get the data from the former one.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and perform “USB SERIAL SAVE” to get the data.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and perform “USB SERIAL SAVE” to get the data.
USB SERIAL No.
The set is shipped with a unique ID (USB Serial No.) written in it.
This ID has not been written in a new board for service, and therefore it must be entered after the board replacement.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “USB SERIAL No. INPUT”.
