Caution
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Unleaded solder
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree 
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.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
•   Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than ordi-
nary 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 flow) 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.
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.
4.  Look for parts which, through functioning, show obvious signs of 
deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their 
replacement.
5.  Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
6.  Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
 
•   Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270°C during 
repairing.
 
•   Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the circuit 
board (within 3 times).
 
•   Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or 
unsoldering.

1-1
1. SERVICE  NOTE
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.
Method:
Use the AC power adaptor.
1-2.  PRECAUTION ON REPLACING THE VC-611 (H) 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”.
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.
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.
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”.
1-3.  SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
1-3-1. Self-diagnosis Function
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis func-
tion starts working, and displays on the LCD screen what to do.
This function consists of two display; self-diagnosis display and service 
mode display.Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the 
Instruction manual.
1-3-2. Self-diagnosis Display
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the LCD 
screen shows a 4-digit display consisting of an alphabet and numbers,
which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character display indicates the “repaired 
by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and “detailed code”of the 
problem.
