1 Safety Precautions

1.1. General Guidelines

1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

There are special components used in this equipment

which are important for safety. These parts are marked by

in the Schematic Diagrams, Circuit Board Layout,

Exploded Views and Replacement Parts List. It is essential

that these critical parts should be replaced with

manufacturer’s specified parts to prevent shock, fire, or

other hazards. Do not modify the original design without

permission of manufacturer.

2.An Isolation Transformer should always be used during the

servicing of AC Adaptor whose chassis is not isolated from

the AC power line. Use a transformer of adequate power

rating as this protects the technician from accidents

resulting in personal injury from electrical shocks. It will also

protect AC Adaptor from being damaged by accidental

shorting that may occur during servicing.

3.When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short

circuit is found, replace all parts which have been

overheated or damaged by the short circuit.

4.After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such

as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly

installed.

5.After servicing, make the following leakage current checks

to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock

hazards.

2 Warning

2.1. Prevention of Electro Static 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. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and

semiconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage

caused by electro static discharge (ESD).

1.Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on your

body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap,

which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2.After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as

aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.

3.Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.

4.Use only an antistatic solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "antistatic (ESD protected)" can

generate electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices.

5.Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.

6.Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most

replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable

conductive material).

7.Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material

to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

CAUTION :

Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

8.Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the

brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD)

sufficient to damage an ES device).

2.2. How to Recycle the Lithium Battery

PV-GS80P / PV-GS83P / PV-GS85P / PV-GS80PC / PV-GS85PC

2.3. How to Replace the Lithium Battery

The lithium battery (CGR-F/202AW) is not supplied as a service part and must be replaced as part of the Side R Shaft Unit. (Refer

to "Disassembly and Assembly Instructions.")

NOTE:

This Lithium battery is a critical component. (Type No.: CGR-F/202AW Manufactured by Panasonic.) (Not supplied)

It must never be subjected to excessive heat or discharge.

It must therefore only be fitted in equipment designed specifically for its use.

Replacement batteries must be of the same type and manufacture.

They must be fitted in the same manner and location as the original battery, with the correct polarity contacts observed.

Do not attempt to re-charge the old battery or re-use it for any other purpose.

It should be disposed of in waste products destined for burial rather than incineration.

3 Service Navigation

3.1. Introduction

This service manual contains technical information which will allow service personnel´s to understand and service this model.

Please place orders using the parts list and not the drawing reference numbers.

If the circuit is changed or modified, this information will be followed by supplement service manual to be filed with original service

manual.

Note 1:

AC Adaptor used on these movie camera is PV-DAC14D. However, DE-974FB is supplied as a replacement part for PV-

DAC14D. This AC Adaptor is supplied only as a unit.
