1 Safety Precaution 1.1. General Guidelines 1.3. Leakage Current Hot Check (See Figure 1.) 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE There are special components used in this equipment 1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use which are important for safety. These parts are marked by an isolation transformer for this check.
1.4. How to Discharge the Capacitor on Flash Top PCB CAUTION: 1. Be sure to discharge the capacitor on FLASH TOP PCB. 2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit on FLASH TOP PCB when servicing. [Discharging Procedure] 1. Refer to the disassemble procedure and Remove the necessary parts/unit. 2.
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 Elec- trostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
2.3.2.3. How to Replace the Fuse A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer. 1. Remove the Fuse Cover with a screwdriver. If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home then the fuse should be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of safety.
NOTE: This Lithium battery is a critical component. (Type No.: ML-421S/DN 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.
3 Service Navigation 3.1. Introduction This service manual contains technical information, which allow service personnel’s to understand and service this model.

3.3. General Description About Lead Free Solder (PbF) The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation. The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). On the other hand, the lead free solder is the alloy mainly consists of tin (Sn), silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu), and the melting point of the lead free solder is higher approx.30°C (86°F) more than that of the normal solder.
3.5. How to Define the Model Suffix (NTSC or PAL model) There are seven kinds of DMC-FS7, regardless of the colours. • a) DMC-FS7P/PC • b) DMC-FS7EB/EF/EG/EP/GN • c) DMC-FS7EE • d) DMC-FS7GT • e) DMC-FS7GK • f) DMC-FS7GD • g) DMC-FS7PR/PU/GC/GJ What is the difference is that the “INITIAL SETTINGS”...
3.5.2. INITIAL SETTINGS: After replacing the MAIN PCB, be sure to perform the initial settings after achieving the adjustment by ordering the following proce- dure in accordance with model suffix of the unit. 1. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Before proceeding Initial settings, be sure to read the following CAUTIONS. 2.

Please be advised that we are not liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that safe products are used we would recommend that a genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.
6 Service Mode 6.1. Error Code Memory Function 1. General description This unit is equipped with history of error code memory function, and can be memorized 16 error codes in sequence from the latest. When the error is occurred more than 16, the oldest error is overwritten in sequence. The error code is not memorized when the power supply is shut down forcibly (i.e.,when the unit is powered on by the battery, the battery is pulled out) The error code is memorized to FLASH ROM when the unit has just before powered off.
Page 19
• 3. Error Code List The error code consists of 8 bits data and it shows the following information.
Page 20
Important notice about "Error Code List" 1) About "*" indication: The third digit from the left is different as follows. - In case of 0 (example: 18001000) When the third digit from the left shows "0", this error occurred under the condition of INITIAL SETTINGS has been completed.
7.2. When Replacing the Main PCB After replacing the MAIN PCB, be sure to achieve adjustment. The adjustment instruction is available at “software download” on the “Support Information from NWBG/VDBG-AVC” web-site in “TSN system”, together with Maintenance software. 7.3. Service Position This Service Position is used for checking and replacing parts.
